A multilayer ceramic electronic component, comprising:
- a multilayer ceramic capacitor;
- and
- a conductor portion;
- wherein
- the multilayer ceramic capacitor includes:
- a multilayer body including a first main surface and a second main surface opposed to each other in a lamination direction, a first lateral surface and a second lateral surface opposed to each other in a width direction orthogonal or substantially orthogonal to the lamination direction, and a first end surface and a second end surface opposed to each other in a length direction orthogonal or substantially orthogonal to both of the lamination direction and the width direction;
- a first end surface external electrode wrapping around from the first end surface to the first main surface and the second main surface of the multilayer body;
- a second end surface external electrode wrapping around from the second end surface to the first main surface and the second main surface of the multilayer body;
- a first lateral surface external electrode on the first lateral surface of the multilayer body;
- and
- a second lateral surface external electrode on the second lateral surface of the multilayer body;
- the conductor portion is electrically connected to the first end surface external electrode and the second end surface external electrode;
- the conductor portion includes:
- a first connection region on one of surfaces of the conductor portion opposed to each other in the lamination direction, the one of the surfaces being on a multilayer ceramic capacitor side, and the first connection region being located on a first end surface side;
- and
- a second connection region on the one of the surfaces of the conductor portion opposed to each other in the lamination direction, the one of the surfaces being on the multilayer ceramic capacitor side, the second connection region being located on a second end surface side;
- a tip of the first connection region on a center side in the length direction of the multilayer ceramic capacitor is located closer to the first end surface side than a tip of the first end surface external electrode on a center side in the length direction, the first end surface external electrode being provided on the first main surface, and the first connection region is connected to the first end surface external electrode by an electrically conductive adhesive;
- and
- a direct current resistance of the conductor portion is smaller than a direct current resistance of the multilayer ceramic capacitor.
