Conductive paste, electronic components, and multilayer ceramic capacitors

Abstract

This invention provides a conductive paste capable of forming a printed film or dried film with high smoothness, and electronic components or multilayer ceramic capacitors formed using the conductive paste. The conductive paste comprises conductive powder, a dispersant, a binder resin, and an organic solvent. The dispersant comprises at least one of amine ethoxylate or ethanolamine, and a low-molecular-weight fatty acid having 11 or fewer carbon atoms. The content of the dispersant in the conductive paste is 0.5% by mass or more and 3.0% by mass or less. The organic solvent comprises dihydroterpineol and a hydrocarbon solvent. The content of the organic solvent in the conductive paste is 30% by mass or more and 65% by mass or less.
