Patent ID: 7759269

Claim:
A dielectric ceramic composition comprising: BaTiO 3 as a main component, MgO: 0.50 to 3.0 moles, MnO: 0.05 to 0.5 moles, oxide (RE 1 2 O 3 ) of element selected from Sm, Eu, and Gd, oxide (RE 2 2 O 3 ) of element selected from Th and Dy, oxide (RE 3 2 O 3 ) of element selected from Y, Ho, Er, Yb, Tm and Lu, BaZrO 3 : 0.20 to 1.0 moles, and oxide of element selected from V, Ta, Mo, Nb, and W: 0.05 to 0.25 moles as subcomponents wherein each subcomponent is calculated as a conversion of an oxide or composite oxide, with respect to 100 moles of the main component, and contents of said RE 1 2 O 3 . RE 2 2 O 3 and RE 3 2 O 3 satisfy RE 1 2 O 3 <RE 2 2 O 3 and (RE 1 2 O 3 +RE 2 2 O 3 )≦RE 3 2 O 3 .
