  • Publication number: 20240266097
    Abstract: The electronic component includes an element body, a first external electrode, and a second external electrode. The first external electrode and the second external electrode are disposed on a principal surface and are separated from each other in a first direction. The first external electrode includes a first region and a second region. The first region includes an end edge that opposes the second external electrode in the first direction and is located inside the element body. The second region is continuous with the first region and is exposed from the principal surface. The second external electrode includes a third region and a fourth region. The third region includes an edge that opposes the first region in the first direction and is located inside the element body. The fourth region is continuous with the third region and is exposed from the principal surface.

  • Publication number: 20240266108
    Abstract: An electronic component includes an element body including a first principal surface and a second principal surface opposing each other, and first and second external electrodes disposed on the first principal surface and separated from each other. The element body includes a first region including the first principal surface and a second region located between the first region and the second principal surface. The first region includes a portion located between the first and second external electrodes. The portion included in the first region is in contact with the first and second external electrodes. When viewed in a direction in which the first principal surface and the second principal surface oppose each other, the portion included in the first region covers an end of each of the first and second external electrodes. The first region has hardness greater than that of the second region.

  • Publication number: 20240234014
    Abstract: A coil component includes an element body, a coil, a first terminal electrode, and a second terminal electrode. The coil has a coil axis extending in a direction in which a pair of side surfaces face each other. The first terminal electrode and the second terminal electrode have first electrode portions exposed on end surfaces and second electrode portions exposed on a main surface, respectively, and are not exposed on each of the pair of side surfaces. In a direction in which a pair of main surfaces face each other, a distance between each of ends of the first electrode portions on the main surface side and the main surface is larger than a distance between a top portion of the coil closest to the main surface and the main surface.
