Abstract

The present invention is intended to provide a laminated electronic component having a configuration in which the number of extraction electrodes is reduced to realize a high ESR, the adhesion of a terminal electrode with respect to an ECA is increased and a short-circuit defect between an internal electrode and a dummy electrode can be prevented. An electrode layer in the ECA includes the internal electrode, the extraction electrode and the dummy electrode. One end of the extraction electrode is connected with the internal electrode in the same layer, and the other end of the same is led onto a side surface of the ECA 1 to be connected with the terminal electrode. This is also applied to other extraction electrodes. The dummy electrode is arranged apart from the internal electrode and the extraction electrode in the same layer, has one end led onto the side surface of the ECA to be connected with the terminal electrode and has the same polarity as seen from a relationship with the internal electrode in the same layer. This is also applied to other dummy electrodes.
