Multilayer ceramic electronic component

A multilayer ceramic electronic component comprising:

• a laminate including a plurality of dielectric layers and a plurality of internal electrode layers alternately stacked, a first principal surface and a second principal surface that are opposite to each other in a laminating direction, a first side surface and a second side surface that are opposite to each other in a width direction orthogonal or substantially orthogonal to the laminating direction, and a first end surface and a second end surface that are opposite to each other in a length direction orthogonal or substantially orthogonal to both of the laminating direction and the width direction;
• an electronic component body including a first external electrode connected to the first end surface of the laminate and a second external electrode connected to the second end surface of the laminate;
• a first metal terminal connected to the first external electrode through a bonding material;
• and
• a second metal terminal connected to the second external electrode through a bonding material;
• wherein
• the first metal terminal includes a terminal body opposed to the first end surface, an extension portion connected to the terminal body and extending in a direction of a mounting surface, and a mounting portion connected to the extension portion and extending from the extension portion in a direction connecting the end surfaces;
• the second metal terminal includes a terminal body opposed to the second end surface, an extension portion connected to the terminal body and extending in a direction of a mounting surface, and a mounting portion connected to the extension portion and extending from the extension portion in a direction connecting the end surfaces;
• in the first metal terminal and the second metal terminal:
• the extension portion provides a gap between a lower surface of the electronic component body and the mounting portion;
• and
• a rib opposed to a respective side surface of the electronic component body is provided on the terminal body;
• the bonding material is provided between the rib of the first metal terminal and the first external electrode opposed to the rib, and not provided between the terminal body and an end surface center portion of the first external electrode;
• and
• the bonding material is provided between the rib of the second metal terminal and the second external electrode opposed to the rib, and not provided between the terminal body and an end surface center portion of the second external electrode.
