Ceramic electronic component

A ceramic electronic component comprising:

• a ceramic element including opposed side surfaces;
• an inner electrode arranged in the ceramic element and including an exposed section exposed to at least one of the opposed side surfaces;
• and
• at least one external terminal electrode arranged on at least one of the opposed side surfaces of the ceramic element so as to be electrically coupled to the exposed section of the internal electrode;
• wherein
• the at least one external terminal electrode includes a first conductive layer and a second conductive layer;
• the first conductive layer is defined by a plated layer disposed directly on the at least one of the opposed side surfaces so as to be electrically coupled to the exposed section of the inner electrode;
• the second conductive layer is arranged on the at least one of the opposed side surfaces so as to cover the first conductive layer and includes conductive resin;
• and
• the following expression is satisfied:
• T2/T1=about 3.4 to about 11.3
• where T1 is a thickness of the first conductive layer and T2 is a thickness of the second conductive layer;
• and
• the thickness T1 of the first conductive layer is in a range of about 3.6 μm to about 7.8 μm.
