Abstract: An element body of a rectangular parallelepiped shape includes first and second principal surfaces opposing each other in a first direction, a pair of side surfaces opposing each other in a second direction, and a pair of end surfaces opposing each other in a third direction. An external electrode disposed at an end portion of the element body in the third direction. The external electrode includes a first conductive resin layer and a second conductive resin layer. The first conductive resin layer continuously covers one part of the first principal surface, one part of the end surface, and one part of each of the pair of side surfaces. The second conductive resin layer is separated from the first conductive resin layer, and continuously covers one part of the second principal surface, one part of the end surface, and one part of each of the pair of side surfaces.

Abstract: An electronic component is provided with an element body and terminal electrodes. The terminal electrodes include sintered metal layers and conductive resin layers. A first length, which is a length of the sintered metal layers in a first direction at end portions of a side surface in a second direction, is shorter than a second length, which is a length of the sintered metal layers in the first direction at central portions of the side surface in the second direction. A third length, which is a length of the conductive resin layers in the first direction at the end portions, is shorter than a fourth length, which is a length of the conductive resin layers in the first direction at the central portions. A difference between the fourth length and the third length is larger than a difference between the second length and the first length.

Abstract: An element body of a rectangular parallelepiped shape includes a pair of principal surfaces opposing each other in a first direction, a pair of side surfaces opposing each other in a second direction, and a pair of end surfaces opposing each other in a third direction. An external electrode disposed on an end portion of the element body in the third direction. When viewed from the third direction, a width of the element body in the second direction is the largest at a central position in the first direction, and gradually decreases from the central portion in the first direction. When viewed from the third direction, a position in which a length from one end to another end of the conductive resin layer in the second direction is the largest is located closer to the one principal surface than the central position.
