Electronic component

An electronic component, comprising:

• an element body of a rectangular parallelepiped shape, having a length in a width direction larger than a length in a height direction and having a length in a longitudinal direction larger than the length in the width direction;
• and
• a pair of terminal electrodes disposed at both ends of the element body in the width direction and extending in the longitudinal direction, wherein
• the element body includes a pair of principal surfaces opposing each other in the height direction, a pair of end surfaces opposing each other in the longitudinal direction, and a pair of side surfaces opposing each other in the width direction,
• each of the terminal electrodes includes a conductor disposed on one of the pair of side surfaces,
• the conductor includes:
• a depression having a length in the longitudinal direction larger than a length in the height direction;
• a first end region located closer to one end surface of the pair of end surfaces in the longitudinal direction;
• a second end region located closer to another end surface of the pair of end surfaces in the longitudinal direction;
• and
• a center region located between the first end region and the second end region in the longitudinal direction;
• and
• a thickness of the center region is larger than a thickness of each of the first and second end regions in a cross-section of the conductor taken along a plane that is parallel to one of the pair of principal surfaces and is located closer to the one of the pair of principal surfaces than the depression in the height direction.
