Abstract
An inductor includes a coil including a winding portion and an lead-out portion, a body constituted by a magnetic member and enclosing the coil, a protection layer disposed on a surface of the body, and an outer electrode. The body has a bottom surface, a top surface, two end surfaces, two side surfaces, and first and second R-chamfered sections. The outer electrode includes first and second electrode regions. The first electrode region is located on the bottom surface and is electrically connected to the lead-out portion. The second electrode region is located on the protection layer on each end surface. The number of conductive particles in the first electrode region intersecting with a unit length of a straight line perpendicular to the bottom surface is greater than that in the second electrode region intersecting with a unit length of a straight line perpendicular to the end surface.
