A multilayer electronic component includes first, second, and third ceramic layers, first and second inner electrodes, and a via-electrode. The first, second and third ceramic layers are sequentially stacked on each other. The first inner electrode is sandwiched between the first and second ceramic layers. The second inner electrode is sandwiched between the second and third ceramic layers. The via-electrode electrically connects the first and second inner electrodes. A projection is integrally provided with the via-electrode. The projection projects from the via-electrode towards an outer peripheral direction and is inserted into the second ceramic layer in a layered arrangement.

Multilayer electronic component

A multilayer electronic component includes outer electrodes each including an outer electrode main body electrically conducted to an internal electrode and entering portions that project from the outer electrode main body as a base end and enter into the electronic component element through an end surface of the electronic component element. The entering portions each include a slope relative to a principal surface in a flat region including a major portion of the internal electrode.
