Abstract
A ceramic electronic device includes a chip component and a pair of metal terminals. The component includes a rectangular-parallelepiped element body having dielectrics and internal electrodes and a pair of terminal electrodes covering end surfaces of the body and a part of side surfaces of the body. The pair of metal terminals respectively has an engagement arm portion configured to hold the component. The terminal electrode includes first and second side surfaces. The first side surface has a predetermined side-surface electrode thickness. The second side surface is disposed farther from the end surface of the body than the first side surface and has the side-surface electrode thickness which is smaller than that of the first side surface. The arm portion contacts with the component at a position that is farther from the end surface of the body than the first side surface.
