Abstract
A multilayer resonant circuit component includes a multilayer body in which first electrode layers, which are provided with both coil patterns and capacitor patterns that constitute an LC circuit, are stacked with first insulator layers interposed therebetween. The multilayer body further includes, stacked together with a second insulator layer, at least one of the following: one or more second electrode layers that each include only a capacitor pattern; and a third electrode layer that includes only a coil pattern.
