Abstract
An electronic component having an element body having at least one plane, and a terminal electrode to be electrically connected through an electroconductive particle to a circuit substrate. The terminal electrode is formed on the plane of the element body. When the plane of the element body is defined as a reference plane, a ratio of a projected area onto the reference plane of an external surface of the terminal electrode opposed to the circuit substrate in a region where a height of the terminal electrode from the reference plane is not less than a value resulting from subtraction of a diameter of the electroconductive particle from a maximum of the height, to a projected area onto the reference plane of the external surface of the terminal electrode opposed to the circuit substrate is set to be not less than 10%.
