This disclosure provides an electronic component that can suppress a decrease in the resonant frequency. The electronic component includes a multilayer body having plural insulating layers stacked in a staking direction. Outer electrodes are provided on facing lateral sides of the multilayer body and extend in the stacking direction. Coil conductors are stacked together with the insulating layers to form a coil. The thickness in the stacking direction of at least one of the coil conductors that is directly connected to one of the outer electrodes is smaller than that of the coil conductors that are not directly connected to any of the outer electrodes.

Electronic component

A multilayer body is formed by laminating multiple insulating layers. External electrodes are provided on the opposed side surfaces of the multilayer body and extend in the z axis direction. Coil conductors are laminated together with the insulating layers and form a coil. Coil conductors other than coil conductors connected to the external electrodes are made up of pairs of adjacent coil conductors having an identical shape, and coil conductors forming each pair are connected in parallel to each other. None of the coil conductors connected to the external electrodes is connected in parallel to coil conductors with an identical shape.
