Abstract
An inductor component comprising an element body including a first end surface and a second end surface opposite to each other, and a bottom surface connected between the first end surface and the second end surface; a coil disposed in the element body and including a coil conductor layer wound in a planar shape on a vertical plane for the first end surface, the second end surface, and the bottom surface; and a first external electrode and a second external electrode embedded in the element body so as to be exposed from at least the bottom surface and electrically connected to the coil. The first external electrode has an end edge extending in a direction orthogonal to the vertical plane, and the end edge is formed into an uneven shape.

An inductor component comprising:
- an element body including a first end surface and a second end surface opposite to each other, and a bottom surface connected between the first end surface and the second end surface;
- a coil disposed in the element body and including a coil conductor layer wound in a planar shape on a vertical plane for the first end surface, the second end surface, and the bottom surface;
- and
- a first external electrode and a second external electrode embedded in the element body so as to be exposed from at least the bottom surface and electrically connected to the coil, the first external electrode having a first portion extending along the bottom surface and a second portion extending along the first end surface, and a thickness of the first portion being smaller than a thickness of the second portion.
