Multilayer electronic component

A multilayer electronic component comprising:

• a body including dielectric layers and internal electrodes alternately disposed in a first direction;
• and
• external electrodes disposed on the body,
• wherein at least one internal electrode of the internal electrodes includes a plurality of disconnected portions penetrating through a respective internal electrode,
• a disconnected portion of the plurality of disconnected portions includes at least one of a pore or a dielectric substance disposed to connect adjacent dielectric layers to each other,
• at least one of the plurality of disconnected portions includes both the pore and the dielectric substance and has a length greater than an average thickness of the at least one internal electrode on a cross section of the body taken in the first direction, and
• at least one disconnected portion of the plurality of disconnected portions includes a dielectric substance which is not connected to at least one of the dielectric layers adjacent to the at least one disconnected portion.
