Abstract: An electronic component has an element body; and an external electrode having a main body portion covering at least the second surface and a first wrapping-around portion wrapping around the third surface in the element body. The wrapping-around portion of the external electrode has a first part having a first distance, a second part having a second distance, a third part having a third distance, a fourth part having a fourth distance, and a fifth part having a fifth distance in the second direction in order from one side to the other side in the first direction. The second distance is longer than the first distance and the third distance. The fourth distance is longer than the third distance and the fifth distance.

Abstract: In the multi-layer inductor, all of the plurality of through conductors are not aligned in a straight line, and the distance between the through conductors can be sufficiently kept in the element body having a predetermined dimensional standard. Therefore, the through conductor as a heat source is apart from each other, and the heat of the through conductor can be efficiently radiated to the outside of the element body.

Abstract: In the multi-layer inductor, the internal electrode includes the auxiliary conductor, and the auxiliary conductor is jointed to the external electrode at the end face. Therefore, when a defect occurs in a part of the through conductors, a current flows through the remaining through conductor(s) and a current also flows through the auxiliary conductor. Therefore, overheating at the joint surface between the remaining through conductor(s) and the external electrode can be prevented, and cutting and/or fusion starting from the joint surface can be prevented.

Abstract: A multilayer inductor component includes an element body, an internal conductor, and an external electrode. The internal conductor is disposed in the element body. The external electrode is disposed on a surface of the element body and electrically connected to the internal conductor. The external electrode includes a sintered metal layer and a plating layer. The sintered metal layer is disposed on the surface of the element body. The plating layer covers the sintered metal layer. The sintered metal layer includes a thick portion and thin portions. The thick portion covers the surface of the element body. A plurality of glass particles is dispersed in the thick portion. The thin portions cover glass particles exposed on a surface of the thick portion among the plurality of glass particles and being in contact with the plating layer.
