A multilayer ceramic electronic component includes a ceramic body comprising dielectric layers and first and second internal electrodes disposed to face each other with respective dielectric layers interposed therebetween. The first internal electrode comprises a body portion contributing to the capacitance generation and a lead-out portion having a narrower width than the body portion and an end exposed from a surface, and the second internal electrode comprises a body portion contributing to the capacitance generation and a lead-out portion having a narrower width than the body portion and an end exposed from another surface. A ratio (w2/w1) of a width (w2) of the lead-out portion of the first and second internal electrodes to a width (w1) of the body portion satisfies 0.3&#x2264;w2/w1&#x2264;0.5.

Multilayer ceramic electronic component

A multilayer ceramic electronic component includes: a ceramic body including an active layer, in which first and second internal electrodes are disposed with a dielectric layer interposed therebetween, the N number of each of the first and second internal electrodes being stacked to be alternately exposed from first and second external surfaces; and first and second external electrodes disposed on the first and second external surfaces of the ceramic body and connected to the first and second internal electrodes, respectively. The ceramic body further includes a cover layer disposed above or below the active layer. The cover layer includes a plurality of first and second dummy electrodes. A number (A&#x3e;N) of the first and second dummy electrodes are stacked to be alternately exposed from the first and second external surfaces.
