Multilayer ceramic electronic component having external electrode layers with holes
A multilayer ceramic electronic component includes a ceramic body including dielectric layers and first and second internal electrodes alternately stacked with each of the dielectric layers interposed therebetween. First and second external electrodes are disposed on outer surfaces of the ceramic body, connected to the first and second internal electrodes respectively, and disposed to cover at least five of eight corners of the ceramic body. The first and second external electrodes include, respectively, first and second base electrode layers at least partially in contact with the outer surfaces of the ceramic body and first and second plating layers disposed to cover the first and second base electrode layers, respectively. The first and second plating or base electrode layers have one or more to three or less holes positioned adjacent to one or more to three or less of the eight corners of the ceramic body.
