A laminated ceramic electronic component includes first internal electrodes and second internal electrodes that overlap each other through ceramic layers, each of the first and second internal electrodes having first and second effective portions, first and second connecting portions, and first and second extended portions whose film thickness is greater than that of the first and second connecting portions and which are exposed at the outer surface of a ceramic element assembly. When distances from side surfaces of the ceramic assembly on which first and second external electrodes are provided to the inner edges of the first and second extended portions are defined as Land L, respectively, and a distance between side surfaces and the end of the second internal electrode or the end of the first internal electrode is defined as Gor G, G&#x3e;Land G&#x3e;Lare satisfied.

Laminated ceramic electronic component

In a method of producing a multi-terminal type laminated ceramic electronic component in which internal electrodes are embedded in a sintered ceramic member, and the internal electrodes have plural first lead-out electrodes led out to a first side surface and plural second lead-out electrodes led out to a second side surface, the plural second lead-out electrodes of one of the adjacent internal electrodes in each internal electrode pattern are not continuous with the plural first lead-out electrodes of the other of the adjacent internal electrodes, and the plural second lead-out electrodes and the plural first lead-out electrodes are alternately arranged in a direction that is substantially perpendicular to the direction of a line connecting the first and second side surfaces.
