Abstract
An electronic component includes a functional element, first and second collectors joined to the functional element, and an outer package integrally covering the functional element and the first and second collectors. The functional element has first and second end surfaces having circular shapes and a side surface having a cylindrical shape extending along a center axis. The element includes first and second electrode foils rolled about the center axis and exposed from the first and second surfaces, respectively. The outer package has first and second surfaces parallel to the first and second end surfaces of the functional element, and has first to fourth corners as seen from a direction of the center axis. The first corner is adjacent to the second corner. The first and second terminals are arranged at the first and second corners of the outer package, respectively. This electronic component can have a small size and a small height while reducing its equivalent series resistance.
