LAMINATED CERAMIC ELECTRONIC COMPONENT

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a highly reliable laminated ceramic electronic component eliminating cracks of a ceramic laminate by a thermal shock applied during a packaging process or the like. SOLUTION: In the laminated ceramic electronic component, an average of continuity of internal electrodes 12 respectively is located within a range (f) of 10% respectively from upper and lower ends of a distance (d), between an internal electrode 12 positioned uppermost in the lamination direction and an internal electrode 12 positioned lowermost. The average thus obtained is specified to be 5-20% lower than the average of continuity of an internal electrode 12 positioned at the center in the lamination direction. The continuity is defined as (X-Y)/X where X refers to a length in a cross section in one direction of the electrode 12, and a total Y of gaps (g) formed by holes of the internal electrode 12 in the cross section.
