Abstract
An electronic component includes an element body and an external electrode disposed on the element body. The external electrode includes a sintered metal layer, a conductive resin layer disposed on the sintered metal layer, and a solder plating layer arranged to constitute an outermost layer of the external electrode. A space exists in the conductive resin layer or between the conductive resin layer and the sintered metal layer. A first maximum length of the space in a thickness direction of the conductive resin layer is shorter than a second maximum length of the space in a direction orthogonal to the thickness direction of the conductive resin layer.
