Electronic component

Abstract

In an electronic component including a ceramic body and an external electrode, the external electrode includes a resin layer including a conductive powder and a plating film in direct contact with the resin layer. The plating film includes a metal with a face-centered cubic structure, and a value of F is about 0.20 or more and about 0.50 or less, where F=(P−P0)/(1−P0), P0=I0(111)/{I0(111)+I0(200)+I0(220)} and P=I(111)/{I(111)+I(200)+I(220)}, and I0 (111), I0 (200), and I0 (220) are diffraction intensities of a (111) plane, a (200) plane, and a (220) plane obtained from known powder X-ray diffraction data for a metal in the plating film, and I (111), I (200), and I (220) are diffraction intensities of a (111) plane, a (200) plane, and a (220) plane obtained from an X-ray diffraction pattern of the plating film.
