Abstract

A ceramic electronic component of the present invention includes: a ceramic element body; a terminal electrode formed on from an end surface to a side surface of the ceramic element body; and a lead terminal joined to the terminal electrode by a solder. A fillet of the solder is formed between the terminal electrode of a side surface at the ceramic element body and the lead terminal, and a coating layer is formed on a surface of the lead terminal that is in contact with the solder. The coating layer is formed of a metal component having a contact angle with the solder smaller than that of the lead terminal.
