Claim Text:
1. An electronic component comprising: a capacitor element including a stack of layers including a dielectric layer and an internal electrode stacked alternately in layers, a first external electrode provided at one longitudinally end portion of the stack of layers, and a second external electrode provided at the other longitudinally end portion of the stack of layers; and a substrate-type terminal including a first major surface and a second major surface opposite to the first major surface, and including the capacitor element mounted on the first major surface; wherein the substrate-type terminal includes on the first major surface a first mounting electrode electrically connected to the first external electrode of the capacitor element and a second mounting electrode electrically connected to the second external electrode of the capacitor element; the substrate-type terminal includes on the second major surface a first connecting electrode provided for external connection and electrically connected to the first mounting electrode and a second connecting electrode provided for external connection and electrically connected to the second mounting electrode; the substrate-type terminal includes a first slit located between the first mounting electrode and the first connecting electrode, as seen in a plane, and penetrating the terminal from the first major surface to the second major surface, and a second slit located between the second mounting electrode and the second connecting electrode, as seen in a plane, and penetrating the terminal from the first major surface to the second major surface; and when viewed in a direction perpendicular to the first major surface of the substrate-type terminal, the first and second slits each have a longer side and a shorter side that extends perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to the longer side, and portions of the first mounting electrode and the first connecting electrode which are adjacent to the first slit in a direction of the shorter side of the first slit do not overlap each other and portions of the second mounting electrode and the second connecting electrode which are adjacent to the second slit in a direction of the shorter side of the second slit do not overlap each other.
