In a ceramic electronic component, an electrically conductive resin layer is arranged to cover a thick film layer and to extend beyond the end of the thick film layer by at least about 100 μm and a plating layer is arranged to cover the electrically conductive resin layer except a region having a dimension of at least about 50 μm and extending along the end of the electrically conductive resin layer. Consequently, the concentration of the stress is reduced.
