A multilayer ceramic electronic component includes a laminated ceramic body
provided with terminal electrodes on side surfaces thereof and a cover for
covering the laminated ceramic body. Ground terminal electrodes are
provided in notches provided in opposed side surfaces opposing of the
laminated ceramic body, a plurality of terminal electrodes is arranged in
parallel in each of notches provided in the other side surfaces opposing
each other. These terminal electrodes are formed by dividing terminal via
hole conductors. The cover is disposed so as to cover elements mounted on
the laminated ceramic body, and foot portions of the cover are disposed in
the notches and are bonded to the ground terminal electrodes.
