Multilayer ceramic electronic component and conductive paste for resin electrode

A multilayer ceramic electronic component comprising:

• a ceramic element body including a plurality of ceramic layers, a plurality of internal electrode layers, a first major surface and a second major surface that face each other in a stacking direction, a first side surface and a second side surface that face each other in a width direction orthogonal or substantially orthogonal to the stacking direction, and a first end surface and a second end surface that face each other in a length direction orthogonal or substantially orthogonal to the stacking direction and the width direction;
• and
• a pair of external electrodes connected to the internal electrode layers and provided on the end surfaces, on the first and second major surfaces, and on the first and second side surfaces;
• wherein
• each of the pair of external electrodes includes a base electrode layer connected to the internal electrode layers, and a resin external electrode layer stacked on the base electrode layer;
• and
• the resin external electrode layer includes at least one of amine, isocyanate, epoxy, mercapto, or ureido silane coupling agents.
