Multilayer ceramic electronic component

A multilayer ceramic electronic component, comprising:

• a ceramic body including dielectric layers;
• a plurality of internal electrodes stacked within the ceramic body;
• and
• external electrodes formed on external surfaces of the ceramic body and electrically connected to the internal electrodes,
• wherein the external electrodes include a metal layer and a conductive resin layer formed on the metal layer, the conducive resin layer containing a copper powder and an epoxy resin, the copper powder including a first copper powder having a particle diameter of 2 μm or greater and a second copper powder having a particle diameter of 0.7 μm or smaller, the first copper powder being a mixture of spherical powder particles and flake type powder particles, an area occupied by the first copper powder in the conductive resin layer being 10% or more, and an area occupied by the second copper powder in the conductive resin layer being 5% or more.
