Abstract

A ceramic electronic component has a chip element body having a conductor arranged inside, external electrodes, and a discrimination layer. The chip element body has first and second end faces facing each other, first and second side faces being perpendicular to the first and second end faces and facing each other, and third and fourth side faces being perpendicular to the first and second end faces and to the first and second side faces and facing each other. The external electrodes are formed on the first and second end faces, respectively, of the chip element body. The discrimination layer is provided on at least one side face out of the first side face and the second side face in the chip element body. The chip element body is comprised of a first ceramic. The discrimination layer is comprised of a second ceramic different from the first ceramic and has a color different from that of the third and fourth side faces.
