Abstract
A multilayer ceramic capacitor includes a capacitor body including a stack of alternating dielectric layers and internal electrode layers, and external electrodes on both end surfaces in a length direction perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to a stacking direction of the stack and connected to the internal electrode layers, the external electrodes each including an the underlying electrode layer and a first plating layer on an outer periphery of the underlying electrode layer, and joints on one of main surfaces in the stacking direction of the capacitor body and connected to the external electrodes, the joints each mainly including a metal with a melting point of about 240° C. or higher. Second plating layers each extend continuously on an outer periphery of a corresponding one of the external electrodes and an outer periphery of a corresponding one of the joints.
