Electronic component

An electronic component comprising:

• an element body including two end surfaces opposite to each other and a bottom surface connected between the two end surfaces;
• a coil provided in the element body;
• and
• an external electrode provided in the element body and electrically connected to the coil,
• wherein in a first cross-section intersecting with the two end surfaces and the bottom surface of the element body, the external electrode has a first portion extending along a first surface that is one of the end surface and the bottom surface of the element body,
• wherein the first portion is embedded in the element body and exposed from the first surface,
• wherein the coil is disposed such that an outer circumferential edge of the coil faces the first surface of the element body, and
• wherein in the first cross-section of the element body, a minimum width al of the first portion and an overlapping width b2 between the coil and the first portion satisfy (⅓)×a1≤b2.
