Abstract
A multilayer ceramic capacitor includes a body and first and second outer electrodes. The body includes a multilayer unit with ceramic dielectric layers and conductive layers alternately stacked on each other. The body is sectioned into a thickness-direction inner layer section that includes the multilayer unit and thickness-direction first and second outer layer sections that sandwich the thickness-direction inner layer section therebetween. A dimension of the thickness-direction second outer layer section is greater than a dimension of the thickness-direction first outer layer section. A conductive layer closest to a first principal surface and a conductive layer closest to a second principal surface are first and second outermost conductive layers, respectively. A curving amount of an extension portion of the second outermost conductive layer is greater than that of an extension portion of the first outermost conductive layer.
