An inductor includes a coil including a winding section and extended sections, a body containing the coil and having a bottom surface and end surfaces adjacent to the bottom surface and opposed to each other, and outer electrodes on at least the bottom surface and connected to the extended sections. The winding-axis direction of the coil intersects with the bottom surface. The conductor has a cross section with a rectangular shape defined by thickness and width and has first surfaces defined by its extending direction and the thickness direction and second surfaces defined by the extending direction and the width direction. The winding section is spirally wound such that the second surfaces are on an outer side and on an inner side, respectively, and is wound in two tiers connected in their innermost locations, and both ends are in outermost locations in the tiers, respectively.
