An electronic component such as a chip inductor, in particular an air core coil, RF choke and transformer is disclosed having a solid core portion (1) of the ferromagnetic or electrically nonconducting material, with a winding space to be wound in one or more courses and recessed relative to parallel end faces (2, 2) of the core portion. The end faces (2, 2) have dovetail-shaped cutouts (3, 3) located within the outside portion of these end faces for receiving tab-like electric contact elements (5, 5). These electrical contacts may be glued or wedged into these cutouts and retained therein under the action of resilient properties of the cutout elements.
