Abstract
The element body includes a main surface, and a side surface located on imaginary planes orthogonal to the main surface. The external electrode includes first, second and third electrode portions. The first electrode portion is exposed at the main surface. The second electrode portion is continuous with the first electrode portion and exposed at the main surface. The second electrode portion is located to extend from the first electrode portion to the imaginary planes when viewed in a direction orthogonal to the main surface. The third electrode portion is continuous with the first electrode portion and is separated from the second electrode portion in the direction orthogonal to the main surface. The third electrode portion includes outer edges coinciding with the imaginary planes when viewed in the direction orthogonal to the main surface. The element body includes a part between the second electrode portion and the third electrode portion.
