Abstract

A multilayer ceramic electronic component includes a multilayer ceramic capacitor and a conductor section. The multilayer ceramic capacitor includes a laminate including dielectric layers stacked on one another, first and second principal surfaces, first and second side surfaces, and first and second end surfaces, first and second internal electrode layers each exposed at the first and second end surfaces, first and second external electrodes connected to the first internal electrode layer, and third and fourth external electrodes connected to the second internal electrode layer. The conductor section is electrically connected to the first and second external electrodes and is not electrically connected to the third and fourth external electrodes. A DC resistance of the conductor section is smaller than a DC resistance of the multilayer ceramic capacitor, and the conductor section includes a lead frame.
