An electronic component includes an electronic component body and an external electrode. The external electrode is disposed on the electronic component body. The external electrode includes a Pd plating layer and a Ni plating layer. The Pd plating layer defines an outermost layer. The Ni plating layer is disposed inside the Pd plating layer. The Ni plating layer is partly exposed from the Pd plating layer.

Electronic component and electronic component-mounted structure

A monolithic ceramic electronic component includes a ceramic body including a stack of ceramic layers. Inner electrodes are disposed within the ceramic body and include exposed portions at the end surfaces of the ceramic body. A pair of outer electrodes is arranged on the end surfaces of the ceramic body so as to extend from the end surfaces to the main surfaces and side surfaces of the ceramic body. Each of the outer electrodes includes a lower electrode layer provided on the ceramic body, an intermediate electrode layer located on the lower electrode layer and defined by a plated Ni layer, and an upper electrode layer located on the intermediate electrode layer and defined by a plated Pd layer. A thickness of the intermediate electrode layer on the main surfaces and the side surfaces of the ceramic body is larger than a thickness of the intermediate electrode layer on the end surfaces of the ceramic body.
