PURPOSE: To provide a highly reliable dielectric porcelain composition having less characteristic dispersion, a small grain size, a large dielectric constant, a small change of the dielectric constant to temperature change, small voltage dependency, and moreover in which relatively indexpensive Ag-Pd alloy can be used for the internal electrode of a laminated ceramic capacitor by using this composition.

CONSTITUTION: Ce of 2.0-4.8mol calculated in terms of CeO2, Ti and Sn of 1.0-7.0mol calculated in terms of (Ti1-aSna)O2 (0<a≤1.0), and Mn of 0.88-0.5mol calculated in terms of MnO2 are contained to a barium titanate of 100mol containing an alkaline metal oxide, as an impurity, of 0.03wt.% or less and halogen of 0.03wt.% or less. The following formula is to be satisfied; 0.97≤(BaO +CeO2)/(TiO2+SnO2)≤1.02 (mol ratio).
