By preventing burnt, cracked, or short-circuited electronic components from occurring in high-
voltage environments, this invention provides multilayer electronic components with excellent
voltage resistance and reliability. [Solution] The multilayer
ceramic capacitor, which is a multilayer
electronic component, includes a body containing a first
dielectric layer 111a, a second
dielectric layer 111b, and internal electrodes 121, 122, and external electrodes 131, 132 disposed on the body. The first
dielectric layer mainly contains a BaTiO3-based material, and the second
dielectric layer has a different main component from the first
dielectric layer (α β Γ δ )Ti x O y The substance contains (β≧0, δ≧0, x>0, y>0) as its main component, where α is one or more of Ba, Er, Ca, and Sr, and Γ is one or more of Nb, Mg, Ta, In, Mn, Hf, Zr, and Al.
