To provide copper conductive paste capable of forming an external electrode superior in compactness and plating property.

As for the copper conductive paste containing conductive components made of copper or metal containing copper as a main component, a glass frit and an organic vehicle, the glass frit composed of 33-54 wt% of B2O3, 13-32 wt% of at least one kind selected from CaO, SrO and BaO, 16-26 wt% of Al2O3, and 4-27 wt% of at least one kind selected from Li2O, Na2O and K2O is used. The glass frit may contain 6 wt% or less of CuO additionally.
