Multilayer ceramic electronic component

Abstract

A multilayer ceramic capacitor includes a capacitor body including a multilayer body including a multilayer body second main surface and a pair of outer electrodes spaced apart from each other in a length direction and including a plated layer, a pair of spacers each connected to one of the pair of outer electrodes, and an insulating resin layer on the multilayer body second main surface. The spacer includes a core portion including a material having a melting point higher than that of the plated layer and a low-melting-point surface layer including a material having a melting point equal to or lower than that of the plated layer and partially coats the core portion. The insulating resin layer is in direct contact with the second main surface and an exposed surface of the core portion that is not covered with the low-melting-point surface layer.
