Multilayer ceramic capacitor and method of manufacturing the same

An electronic component comprising:

• a body including a dielectric layer and an internal electrode;
• and
• an external electrode disposed on a surface of the body,
• wherein the external electrode includes:
• an intermediate layer including a first intermetallic compound;
• and
• a conductive resin layer disposed on the intermediate layer and including a plurality of metal particles, a second intermetallic compound, and a base resin,
• wherein the first intermetallic compound includes a metal contained in the second intermetallic compound, and
• the second intermetallic compound is different from the first intermetallic compound and includes a metal contained in the plurality of metal particles.

A multilayer ceramic ca pacitor comprising:

• a body including a dielectric layer and first and second internal electrodes;
• and external electrodes disposed on at least one surface of the body, wherein each of the first and second internal electrodes is spaced apart from the at least one surface of the body, and wherein the external electrodes each include:
• an electrode layer extending in a portion of the body by which the first or second internal electrode is spaced apart from the at least one surface of the body to be in contact with the first or second internal electrode;
• an intermediate layer disposed on the electrode layer and including a first intermetallic compound;
• and a conductive resin layer disposed on the intermediate layer and contacting only the intermediate layer, from among the electrode and intermediate layers, and including a plurality of metal particles, a second intermetallic compound with a composition different from the first intermetallic compound and including a metal contained in the plurality of metal particles, and a base resin.
