Ceramic electronic component with openings in electrode

A ceramic electronic component comprising:

• a body including a dielectric layer and a plurality of internal electrodes stacked in a first direction with the dielectric layer interposed therebetween and including first and second surfaces opposing each other in the first direction and side surfaces connected to the first and second surfaces;
• first and second external electrodes respectively disposed on both of the side surfaces of the body opposing each other;
• and
• an insulating layer covering the first surface of the body, the first external electrode extending onto a portion of the first surface of the body, and the second external electrode extending onto another portion of the first surface of the body,
• wherein the insulating layer includes a plurality of openings exposing the first and second external electrodes,
• the first and second external electrodes each include a first electrode layer disposed on the body, a second electrode layer disposed on the first electrode layer, and a third electrode layer disposed on the second electrode layer,
• the insulating layer is disposed on the first surface of the body and an outer surface of the third electrode layer, such that the plurality of openings of the insulating layer expose the third electrode layer, and
• at least two openings among the plurality of openings have different sizes from each other.
