Electronic component

An electronic component comprising:

• a housing formed to have a box shape;
• and
• a terminal derived from inside to outside of the housing to be exposed and extending along a wall surface of the housing;
• wherein
• the housing includes a pair of projecting portions formed by causing both external ends of end portions in an end surface on a side where the terminal is derived to project beyond the terminal, the external ends are external ends in a width direction crossing an extending direction in which the terminal extends, the end portions are located on a deriving source side in the extending direction,
• the terminal has an exposed portion which is located on an imaginary plane, or closer to the wall surface than the imaginary plane is, the imaginary plane includes a pair of corner portions of the wall surface facing the terminal and end portions of the projecting portions, the corner portions are located on a distal end side in the extending direction of the terminal and at both external ends in the width direction, and the end portions are located on a drawing side of the terminal, on the corner portions side, and on an external end side in the width direction.
