Claim:
1. An electronic component comprising a multilayer capacitor and an interposer on which the multilayer capacitor is mounted, wherein the multilayer capacitor comprises: a multilayer body in which a plurality of dielectric layers and a plurality of internal electrodes are stacked, the multilayer body having a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape; and a plurality of external electrodes arranged on ends of the multilayer body and connected to corresponding internal electrodes out of the plurality of internal electrodes, wherein the interposer comprises: a substrate having a rectangular shape in plan view and having first and second principal surfaces of a planar shape opposed to each other, and first and second side surfaces of a planar shape extending in a first direction in which the first principal surface and the second principal surface are opposed, so as to connect the first principal surface and the second principal surface, the first and second side surfaces being opposed to each other; a plurality of first connection electrodes each of which is arranged on a corresponding one of first- and second-side-surface sides of the first principal surface and to each of which a corresponding external electrode out of the plurality of external electrodes is connected; a plurality of second connection electrodes each of which is arranged on corresponding one of first- and second-side-surface sides of the second principal surface; and a plurality of third connection electrodes each of which is arranged on a corresponding one of the first and second side surfaces and each of which connects a corresponding first connection electrode and a corresponding second connection electrode, wherein each of the first connection electrodes has a first portion located away from an edge of the first principal surface in a second direction in which the first side surface and the second side surface are opposed, and a second portion extending from the first portion to the edge and connected to the third connection electrode, wherein said second portion has a first width in the third direction perpendicular to the first direction and to the second direction, and wherein each third connection electrode of the plurality of third connection electrodes has a second width in the third direction, wherein said first and second widths are smaller than a width in the third direction of the first portion of each first connection electrode of the plurality of first connection electrodes, wherein each of the first and second side surfaces includes a first surface region on which a corresponding third connection electrode is disposed and a pair of second surface regions exposed from the third connection electrode, the first surface region is located between the pair of second surface regions in the third direction, the third connection electrodes are each arranged only on the first surface region of a respective one of the first and second side surfaces in the third direction.
