Inductor component

Abstract

An inductor component is capable of suppressing formation of a leak path between vertical wires. Such an inductor component includes an element body that includes a plurality of magnetic powders, at least one of which contains an Fe element as a main component, and has a first principal surface and a second principal surface; an inductor wire that is provided in the element body and extends along a plane parallel to the first principal surface; a vertical wire that is provided in the element body, is connected to an end of the inductor wire, and extends to the first principal surface in a direction orthogonal to the first principal surface; and a conductive protection film that covers at least a part of a side surface of the vertical wire extending along a direction orthogonal to the first principal surface and has a higher hardness than the vertical wire.
