Abstract: In a method for manufacturing an electronic component, when conductive paste used to form outer electrodes is applied to a component body, a side surface of the component body is subjected to an affinity-reducing process to reduce an affinity for solvent, and then an end surface of the component body is dipped into the conductive paste. Accordingly, spreading of the conductive paste stops at ridge portions of the component body, and the conductive paste is applied to a large thickness. After that, the end surface of the component body is dipped deeper into the conductive paste. Also in this step, the affinity-reducing process prevents upward spreading of the conductive paste along the side surface.
