Patent ID: 8363383

Claim:
A dielectric ceramic composition comprising: a barium titanate as a main component; as subcomponents, with respect to 100 moles of said barium titanate, 0.9 to 2.0 moles of an oxide of RA in terms of RA 2 O 3 , where RA is at least one selected from the group consisting of Dy, Gd and Tb; 0.3 to 2.0 moles of an oxide of RB in terms of RB 2 O 3 , where RB is at least one selected from the group consisting of Ho and Y; 0.75 to 2.5 moles of an oxide of Yb in terms of Yb 2 O 3 ; and 0.5 to 2.0 moles of an oxide of Mg in terms of Mg, wherein when contents of said oxide of RA, said oxide of RB and said oxide of Yb with respect to 100 moles of said barium titanate are defined as “α”, “β” and “γ”, respectively, said “α”, “β” and “γ” satisfy relations of 0.66≦(α/β)≦3.0 and 0.8≦(α+β)/γ≦2.4.
