Claim 0:
1. A multilayer electronic component comprising:
a body including a dielectric layer and a plurality of internal electrodes disposed alternately with the dielectric layer therebetween and including first and second surfaces opposing each other in a first direction, third and fourth surfaces connected to the first and second surfaces and opposing each other in a second direction, and fifth and sixth surfaces connected to the first to fourth surfaces and opposing each other in a third direction; and
external electrodes disposed on the body,
wherein one end of each of the plurality of internal electrodes is connected to the third or fourth surface,
the external electrodes include a first electrode layer disposed on the third and fourth surfaces and including a conductive metal and a second electrode layer disposed on the first electrode layer, including silver (Ag) and glass, and further including one or more of palladium (Pd), platinum (Pt), and gold (Au),
the first electrode layer is disposed to cover all of one end of each of the plurality of internal electrodes connected to the third and fourth surfaces and does not extend onto the first, second, fifth, and sixth surfaces,
the body includes a capacitance forming portion including the plurality of internal electrodes alternately disposed with the dielectric layer interposed therebetween to form capacitance and cover portions disposed on upper and lower surfaces of the capacitance forming portion in the first direction, and
the first electrode layer has a thickness that tapers from a portion of the first electrode layer that overlaps the capacitance forming portion in the second direction to beyond the upper and lower surfaces of the capacitance forming portion in the first direction.
