Abstract:
1. An electronic component comprising: an element body having a pair of end faces opposing each other, a pair of main faces opposing each other while extending so as to connect the pair of end faces to each other, and a pair of side faces opposing each other while extending so as to connect the pair of main faces to each other; an outer electrode, formed on one end face of the pair of end faces, for covering a portion of the main and side faces adjacent to the one end face; and an insulating layer that covers at least a surface of an electrode portion of the outer electrode located on a side face side of the outer electrode without covering portions of the main faces that are not covered by the outer electrode, wherein the electrode portion has a sintered electrode layer; the insulating layer is directly formed on the sintered electrode layer and completely covers a surface of the sintered electrode layer; and a portion of the sintered electrode layer is not covered with the insulating layer, and a plating layer is directly formed on the portion of the sintered electrode layer.
