  • Publication number: 20220020534
    Abstract: A ceramic electronic component includes a multilayer chip including a multilayer structure having ceramic dielectric layers and internal electrode layers alternately stacked, and cover layers respectively disposed on top and bottom faces of the multilayer structure in a first direction in which the dielectric layers and the internal electrode layers are stacked, and a pair of external electrodes formed from respective edge faces to at least one side face of the multilayer chip, wherein a ratio of a thickness of the multilayer chip in the first direction to a width of the multilayer chip in a shorter side direction is 0.7 or less, wherein a thickness of a capacitance section where adjacent internal electrode layers connected to different external electrodes are opposite to each other in the first direction is equal to or greater than 2.2 times at least one of thicknesses of the cover layers in the first direction.

  • Patent number: 11011309
    Abstract: Disclosed is a ceramic electronic component having external electrodes on each of opposed end portions of a rectangular parallelepiped component body. A first direction dimension, a second direction dimension and a third direction dimension of the component body satisfy a condition of second direction dimension>first direction dimension>third direction dimension. The external electrodes are of a five-face type having a first face portion, a second face portion, a third face portion, a fourth face portion and a fifth face portion. At least one edge of the fourth face portion and the fifth face portion of the external electrode has a recess portion recessed from the edge toward the first face portion. Both side portions in the third direction of the recess portion are covering portions which cover ridge portions of the two faces in the second direction of the component body.
