An electronic component includes a multilayer body including inner electrodes and dielectric layers alternately stacked, and an outer electrode electrically connected to the inner electrodes. The multilayer body includes first and second main surfaces opposite to each other in a stacking direction, first and second side surfaces opposite to each other in a width direction, and first and second end surfaces opposite to each other in a length direction. The outer electrode includes first outer electrodes disposed on the first and second end surfaces, and at least one second outer electrode disposed on at least one of the first and second side surfaces. The at least one second outer electrode is directly connected to the inner electrodes at positions spaced away from the at least one of the first or second side surface toward the inside of the multilayer body.

Electronic component

A multilayer ceramic capacitor includes a laminated body including dielectric layers and internal electrodes alternately laminated, and an external electrode provided on the surface of the laminated body and connected to the internal electrodes. The internal electrode includes a facing electrode portion facing another internal electrode with the dielectric layer provided therebetween, and an extended electrode portion extended from the facing electrode portion to the surface of the laminated body and connected to the external electrode. At least one layer of the internal electrodes includes a bent portion in the extended electrode portion. The distance between extended electrode portions adjacent to each other in the lamination direction narrows from the end portion of the facing electrode portion toward the bent portion, and widens from the bent portion toward the end portion of the extended electrode portion on the external electrode side.
