Claim:
1. An electronic component comprising: a laminate including a plurality of stacked dielectric layers and a mounting surface defined by continuously-arranged outer edges of the plurality of dielectric layers; a first capacitor conductor and a second capacitor conductor stacked together with the dielectric layers in opposed relation to each other, the first capacitor conductor and the second capacitor conductor respectively including a first outer edge and a second outer edge, the first outer edge including a first linear portion which extends along a first single line and a first groove and the second outer edge including a second linear portion which extends along a second single line and a second groove, the first and second linear portions extending parallel or substantially parallel to the mounting surface, the first capacitor conductor and the second capacitor conductor further respectively including a first lead-out portion and a second lead-out portion led out in a direction towards the mounting surface from the first linear portion and the second linear portion; and a first outer electrode disposed on the mounting surface, and a second outer electrode disposed on the mounting surface and not disposed on end surfaces of the laminate, which are adjacent to the mounting surface and which are each defined by continuously-arranged outer edges of the plurality of dielectric layers, the second outer electrode covering a portion where the second lead-out portion is exposed at the mounting surface; wherein the first groove is recessed from the first linear portion in a direction away from the mounting surface, in a region thereof overlapping with the second outer electrode when looking at the electronic component in a plan view from a direction normal to the mounting surface; and a value resulting from dividing a distance from the mounting surface to a bottom of the first groove by a spacing between the first outer electrode and the second outer electrode is not less than about 0.10.
