Patent ID: 7969709

Claim:
A laminated ceramic electronic component comprising a laminated ceramic element, a first external electrode and a second external electrode, wherein the laminated ceramic element includes: a function part having at least one set of first and second internal electrode layers facing each other, and a ceramic layer placed between the first and second internal electrode layers; first and second end faces opposing each other, the end faces being parallel to a lamination direction of the first and second internal electrode layers and the ceramic layer; a main face perpendicular to the lamination direction of the first and second internal electrode layers and the ceramic layer; a protective layer covering the first internal electrode layer on the main face; a first lead part in which the first internal electrode layer is drawn out of the first end face, the first lead part being thinner than the function part; and a second lead part in which the second internal electrode layer is drawn out of the second end face, the second lead part being thinner than the function part, wherein the first external electrode includes: a first extended part formed from the first lead part of the laminated ceramic element through the function part on the main face, a part of the first extended part on the first lead part being lower than a part of the first extended part on the function part; and a first curled part formed from the first end face of the laminated ceramic element through a surface of a part of the first extended part on the first lead part, and wherein the second external electrode includes: a second extended part formed from the second lead part of the laminated ceramic element through the function part on the main face, a part of the second extended part on the second lead part being lower than a part of the second extended part on the function part; and a second curled part formed from the second end face of the laminated ceramic element through a surface of a part of the second extended part on the second lead part.
