An inductor component includes a base having a columnar shape and including a mounting surface parallel with a length direction being a longitudinal direction of the columnar shape and with a width direction orthogonal to the length direction, inductor wiring arranged inside the base, a first outer electrode connected to the inductor wiring and disposed on the mounting surface, and a second outer electrode connected to the inductor wiring and disposed on the mounting surface, the first outer electrode and the second outer electrode arranged in the length direction. When a maximum dimension of the mounting surface in the length direction is L, a maximum dimension of the first outer electrode in the width direction is a, and a maximum dimension of the second outer electrode in the width direction is b, a≤L/2<W and b≤L/2<W.

Inductor component

An inductor component includes a lamination of an insulating layer and a conductive layer. The insulating layer includes a base made of glass and inorganic particles dispersed in the base. Some of the inorganic particles partially project through the surface of the base into the conductive layer.

Anchor conductors extending from internal terminal conductors and being in contact with a component body are provided inside the component body. The anchor conductors are provided so as not to be connected to a coil conductor including a circulating portion, and so as not to be exposed on an outer surface of the component body. The anchor conductors are in contact with the component body to thereby enhance fixing force of the internal terminal conductors to the component body.

Inductor

An electronic component includes a component body, a base electrode that has a surface exposed from the component body and contains at least one of silver and copper, an alloy layer deposited on the surface of the base electrode, and a nickel layer deposited on a surface of the alloy layer. The material of the alloy layer is an alloy containing nickel and tin.
