A coil component having a core, first and second terminal electrodes provided on the core, and a conducting wire having a winding portion provided on the core and end portions electrically connected to the first and second terminal electrodes to provide first and second connecting portions. The core has one side surface at which the first and second connecting portions are provided. When viewing the one side surface, a wire portion in the winding portion extends in a first direction, and a wire portion extending from the second connecting portion extends toward the winding portion in a second direction. The first and second directions define an intersection angle of not more than 90 degrees.
