Multilayer electronic component having structure for improved adhesion force and moisture protection

Abstract

A multilayer electronic component includes: a body including a dielectric layer and internal electrodes alternately disposed while having the dielectric layer interposed therebetween; a first external electrode including a first connection portion and first and third band portions extending from ends of the first connection portion; a second external electrode including a second connection portion and second and fourth band portions extending from the second connection portion; an insulating layer disposed on the first and second connection portions and covering a top surface of the body and the third and fourth band portions; first and second plating layers disposed on the first and second band portions, respectively. An end of the plating layer and an end of the insulating layer contact with each other, and a thickness of the end of the plating layer and a thickness of the end of the insulating layer decreases toward the contact point.
