Abstract
Disclosed herein is an electronic component that includes an element body having a structure in which a plurality of conductor layers are stacked in a first direction on a surface of a substrate with insulating layers interposed therebetween, and a plurality of terminal electrodes provided on a mounting surface of the element body. The mounting surface extends in the first direction and in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The element body includes an inductor constituted by the plurality of conductor layers and has a coil axis extending in a third direction perpendicular to both the first and second directions.
