PURPOSE: A ceramic electronic component is provided to make a plating process efficient and at the same time to achieve compactness by suppressing growth along thickness direction of a plated film, by coating the plated film in a short time even with a low current. CONSTITUTION: A ceramic electronic component (1) includes a ceramic body (10), internal electrodes (11,12), a coating layer (15) and an electrode terminal. The internal electrodes are prepared in the ceramic body, and the cross section part of the internal electrode is exposed on the surface of the ceramic body. The coating layer covers the part of the surface of the ceramic body where the internal electrode is exposed, and is formed with glass medium or resin medium in which metal powder is dispersed. The electrode terminal is prepared on the upper part of the coating layer, and is constituted with a plated film. The metal powder forms a conducting path connecting the internal electrode and the electrode terminal electrically, and has thin and long shape in the cross section which is cut along the thickness direction of the coating layer. Maximum diameter of the metal powder forming the conductive path is above the thickness of the coating layer. |
