In an exemplary embodiment, each of external electrodes 12 of a multilayer ceramic capacitor 10 continuously has a first planar part 12a present on each end face of a capacitor body 11 in a first direction d1, a second planar part 12b present on one end face of the capacitor body 11 in a third direction d3, and auxiliary planar parts 12c present on both end faces of the capacitor body 11 in a second direction d2. A maximum third-direction dimension D3 [12c] of each of the auxiliary planar parts 12c is smaller than a third-direction dimension D3 [12a] of the first planar part 12a, while a first-direction dimension D1 [12c] of each of the auxiliary planar parts 12c is smaller than a first-direction dimension D1 [12b] of the second planar part 12b.
