Electronic component

An electronic component comprising:

• an element body including internal electrode layers and dielectric layers substantially parallel to a plane including a first axis and a second axis and alternately laminated along a third axis,
• wherein
• the element body has a pair of end surfaces opposing each other in the first axis direction, each of the end surfaces is provided with an external electrode electrically connected to the internal electrode layers,
• the dielectric layers contain main-phase grains and segregated particles,
• the main-phase grains contain a main component of the dielectric layers,
• the main component is represented by a formula ABO3, in which the symbol A represents at least one selected from the group consisting of Ba, Ca, and Sr, and the symbol B represents at least one selected from the group consisting of Ti and Zr,
• the segregated particles contain Ba, Si, Ti, and O,
• the segregated particles are present at an occurrence rate in the range of 50 to 90%,
• the occurrence rate of the segregated particles is defined as a ratio of the number of fields of view satisfying conditions
• (i) eight or more of the segregated particles are present, and
• (ii) at least one segregated particle is located at a triple junction,
• among a predetermined number of fields of view in which four or more of the dielectric layers are observed, in a cross section parallel to a plane including the first axis and the second axis of an effective region, the effective region is a region where the dielectric layers are laminated between pairs of internal electrode layers having different polarities,
• the fields of view to be observed are approximately uniformly distributed along the first axis direction, the second axis direction, and the third axis direction of the effective region,
• a ratio of the main-phase grains in the form of complete solid solutions containing RE is 70% or more of the main-phase grains,
• the segregated particles do not substantially contain RE, and
• the RE represents at least one of rare earth elements.
