Electronic component including protective layer

An electronic component comprising:

• a substrate;
• a functional element on the substrate;
• a support body provided on the substrate and around a region in which the functional element is located;
• a covering portion facing the substrate and supported by the support body;
• and
• a protective layer covering the covering portion;
• wherein
• the substrate, the support body, and the covering portion define a hollow space;
• the functional element is located in the hollow space;
• when, in the support body, a surface opposite to a surface facing the substrate is designated as a first surface, a portion of the protective layer is in contact with the first surface of the support body without the covering portion being interposed;
• the protective layer is in contact with a side surface of the covering portion, the side surface extending in a direction that intersects with the first surface of the support body;
• and
• the first surface of the support body is in contact with the covering portion.
