Abstract
A multilayer ceramic capacitor includes a capacitive element including ceramic layers and internal electrodes, and external electrodes on the capacitive element. The external electrodes include a Ni underlying electrode layer mainly made of Ni, a Cu plating electrode layer, and at least one second plating electrode layer. The Cu plating electrode layer includes a Ni diffused Cu plating electrode layer on a side closer to the Ni underlying electrode layer and including Ni diffused therein and a non-Ni diffused Cu plating electrode layer on a side closer to the second plating electrode layer and not including Ni diffused therein. The Cu plating electrode layer has a thickness of about 3 μm or more and about 12 μm or less and the non-Ni diffused Cu plating electrode layer has a thickness of about 0.5 μm or more.
