Patent ID: 8422196

Claim:
A multilayer ceramic electronic component, comprising: a multilayer body having a dielectric layer; and a plurality of internal electrode layers provided in the multilayer body, and having ends exposed to at least one face of the multilayer body, wherein: a ratio of T 2 to T 1 (T 2 /T 1 ) ranges from 0.70 to 0.95, when T 1 represents a thickness of a capacity formation portion formed by overlapping the plurality of internal electrode layers and T 2 represents a distance between ends of outermost internal electrodes arranged on one face of the multilayer body to which the ends of the internal electrodes are exposed; a thickness D 1 of the multilayer body, in which the capacity formation portion is formed, is greater than a thickness D 2 of a first side of the multilayer body to which the ends of the internal electrodes are exposed, and a ratio of the thickness of one face of the multilayer body to which the ends of the internal electrodes are exposed, to the thickness of the multilayer body having the capacity formation part formed therein, ranges from 0.75 to 0.97.
