Abstract: A multilayer ceramic capacitor includes a multilayer body, a first outer electrode on a first main surface closer to a first end surface, a second outer electrode on the first main surface closer to a second end surface, a third outer electrode on the first main surface between the first outer electrode and the second outer electrode, a first inner electrode layer connected to the first outer electrode and the second outer electrode via a first lead electrode and a second lead electrode, and a second inner electrode layer connected to the third outer electrode via a third lead electrode. When a length of the first lead electrode and a length of the second lead electrode in the length direction are each denoted by a, and a length of the third lead electrode in the length direction is denoted by b, b/a is about 0.5 to about 0.83.

Abstract: A method of producing a ceramic electronic component includes baking a first electrode paste containing a metal powder at a first temperature to form a first electrode layer at a first region of a ceramic body, baking a second electrode paste containing a metal powder of the same type as the metal powder in the first electrode paste at a second temperature lower than the first temperature to form a second electrode layer at a second region different from the first region of the ceramic body, and applying a physical shock treatment to a surface of the second electrode layer to densify a surface layer portion of the second electrode layer.

Abstract: A multilayer ceramic capacitor includes a multilayer body and three or more external electrodes. A first internal electrode layer includes a first counter electrode portion, a first extension portion, and a second extension portion.
