Electronic component

An electronic component comprising:

• an element body;
• a pair of external electrodes respectively disposed at both ends of the element body in a first direction;
• a pair of metal terminals respectively connected to the pair of external electrodes with solder,
• the metal terminals each including:
• a connection opposing a corresponding external electrode of the pair of external electrodes in the first direction and formed with a plurality of grooves;
• and
• a leg extending from the connection,
• wherein the connection includes a pair of end edges separated from each other in a third direction intersecting with a second direction in which the leg extends from the connection,
• the plurality of grooves extends in a direction different from the second direction and intersecting with the third direction in such a manner that the plurality of grooves is separated from one of the pair of end edges, and
• a surface included in the connection and defining each of the grooves is in contact with the solder.
