Multilayer electronic component

A multilayer electronic component constituted by a component body of multilayer structure that forms a roughly rectangular solid shape specified in terms of length, width, and height, and also by a first external electrode and a second external electrode, each having a different polarity when in use, provided on the component body, said length being a dimension along an extending direction of layers of the multilayer structure toward the first or second external electrode, said height being a dimension along a layer-stacking direction, said width being a dimension along a direction orthogonal to the length direction and the height direction, wherein:

• (1) the first external electrode has two main electrode parts that are electrically continuous with each other, where one main electrode part is positioned near a first corner on one height-direction face of the component body, and another main electrode part is positioned on another height-direction face near a third corner which is positioned on a reverse side of a second corner next to the first corner along the first external electrode on the one height-direction face of the component body;
• (2) the second external electrode has two main electrode parts that are electrically continuous with each other, where one main electrode part is positioned on the one height-direction face near a fourth corner which is diagonal to the first corner across the one height-direction face of the component body, and another main electrode part is positioned on the other height-direction face near a sixth corner which is positioned on a reverse side of a fifth corner next to the fourth corner along the second external electrode on the one height-direction face of the component body;
• (3) the one main electrode part of the first external electrode present on the one height-direction face of the component body is positionally partially opposed, via the component body in the height direction, to the other main electrode part of the second external electrode present on the other height-direction face of the component body, where a first margin area exists between an opposing area of the one main electrode part of the first external electrode and an edge connecting the first corner with the fifth corner, and a second margin area exists between an opposing area of the other main electrode part of the second external electrode and an edge connecting the sixth corner with a seventh corner on the other height-direction face positioned on a reverse side of the first corner;
• and (4) the one main electrode part of the second external electrode present on the one height-direction face of the component body is positionally partially opposed, via the component body in the height direction, to the other main electrode part of the first external electrode present on the other height-direction face of the component body, where a third margin area exists between an opposing area of the one main electrode part of the second external electrode and an edge connecting the second corner with the fourth corner, and a fourth margin area exists between an opposing area of the other main electrode part of the first external electrode and an edge connecting the third corner with an eighth corner on the other height-direction face positioned on a reverse side of the fourth corner.
