Coil component

A coil component comprising:

• an element assembly including
• a coil conductor including a wound conductor, and
• a magnetic portion containing metal magnetic particles and resin;
• and
• an outer electrode electrically connected to an exposed surface of an extended part of the coil conductor, exposed on a surface of the element assembly, and on the surface of the element assembly, wherein
• the metal magnetic particles include first metal magnetic particles, second metal magnetic particles, and third metal magnetic particles,
• a particle size distribution of the metal magnetic particles, calculated in accordance with a circle equivalent diameter obtained from a cross-sectional image in a cross section of the magnetic portion, has at least two peaks and at least one bottom, and metal magnetic particles larger than or equal to the bottom having a minimum frequency are defined as large metal magnetic particles,
• those of the large metal magnetic particles having a recessed portion that satisfies a predetermined condition in the cross section are defined as the second metal magnetic particles,
• those of the large metal magnetic particles not having the recessed portion are defined as the first metal magnetic particles,
• those of the metal magnetic particles smaller than the bottom having the minimum frequency are defined as the third metal magnetic particles, and
• the predetermined condition is L02>L01, where a minimum distance between distal ends at an opening of the recessed portion is L01, and a longest distance of line segments parallel to a line segment that has the minimum distance between the distal ends of the opening in line segments corresponding to chords in the recessed portion of a cross section of each of the second metal magnetic particles is L02.
