Abstract
An electronic component includes an electronic component body, first and second outer electrodes, and first and second inner electrodes. The first outer electrode includes a first conductive layer that does not include silver and a second conductive layer that is deposited on the first conductive layer so as to be positioned at an outermost layer and that includes silver. The second conductive layer includes a first contact portion in contact with a first main surface and is not in contact with first and second side surfaces. A first inner conductor is provided on a virtual straight or substantially straight line connecting a second inner electrode closest to the first contact portion and the first contact portion in the shortest distance. The first inner conductor is connected only to the first outer electrode or is connected to none of the first and second outer electrodes.
