Patent ID: 8520362

Claim:
A laminated ceramic electronic component comprising: a component main body having a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape, the component main body including a pair of principal surfaces opposed to each other, a pair of side surfaces opposed to each other, and a pair of end surfaces opposed to each other, a plurality of ceramic layers extending in a direction in which the principal surfaces extend and stacked in a direction of connecting the pair of principal surfaces, and a plurality of internal electrodes arranged along a plurality of interfaces between the ceramic layers, the internal electrodes each including an end exposed at either one of the pair of end surfaces; and an external electrode including a plating film disposed directly on the end surfaces so as to be electrically connected to the plurality of internal electrodes; wherein a ridge section of the component main body includes an R chamfered section including a radius of curvature of about 0.01 mm or less; and the plating film of the external electrode extends from the end surface across the R chamfered section, and includes end edges located on at least one of the principal surfaces and the side surfaces.
