Abstract:
A ceramic electronic component includes a ceramic body, inner electrodes, a glass coating layer, and outer electrodes. The glass coating layer extends from an exposed portion of one of the inner electrodes at a first end surface to a first principal surface. The outer electrodes are each constituted by a plating film disposed directly above the glass coating layer. The glass coating layer includes a glass medium and metal powder particles that define conductive paths. The metal powder particles have an elongated or substantially elongated shape and are dispersed in the glass medium. The dimension of a portion of the glass coating layer located on the first principal surface in the length direction, is larger than that of a portion of the glass coating layer located on the first end surface in the thickness direction.

Abstract:
A ceramic electronic component includes a ceramic body, a glass coating layer, and terminal electrodes. End portions of inner electrodes are exposed at a surface of the ceramic body. The glass coating layer covers portions of the ceramic body in which the inner electrodes are exposed. The terminal electrodes are disposed directly above the glass coating layer and are each constituted by a plating film. The glass coating layer includes a glass medium and metal powder particles that are dispersed in the glass medium and define conductive paths which electrically connect the inner electrodes and the terminal electrodes. The metal powder particles include first metal powder particles and second metal powder particles. The first metal powder particles are flat or substantially flat powder particles. The second metal powder particles are spherical or substantially spherical powder particles.
