A conductive paste is provided which can prevent the generation of wrinkles on electrode films after drying and which can be used for forming a highly reliable ceramic electronic element having superior appearance. The conductive paste contains a conductive component such as silver or copper and an organic vehicle. The organic vehicle contains an organic binder, a first solvent dissolving the organic binder and a second solvent substantially not dissolving the organic binder, wherein the boiling point of the first solvent is higher than that of the second solvent or is higher than the temperature at the end of distillation thereof by about 20&deg; C. or more, and the content of the second solvent is about 30 to 70 wt % of the organic vehicle.

Conductive paste and ceramic electronic element using the same

A conductive paste for forming external electrodes of a multi-layer ceramic electronic component contains an Ag-based conductive component, an organic vehicle and a glass frit. The glass frit in the conductive paste contains B O , SiO , PbO, and Al O . The total content of SiO and Al O in the glass frit is in the range of about 40 to 56 molar percent, the SiO content being in the range of about 20 to 40 molar percent and the Al O content being in the range of about 12 to 24 molar percent.
