Patent ID: 7944128

Claim:
An electronic component comprising: an electronic component body having a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape and including first and second main surfaces extending along a lateral direction and a longitudinal direction, first and second side surfaces extending along the longitudinal direction and a vertical direction, and first and second end surfaces extending along the lateral direction and the vertical direction; a first outer electrode arranged so that the first end surface, a portion of the first main surface, and a portion of the first and second side surfaces are covered with the first outer electrode; a second outer electrode provided on the second end surface; a first inner electrode arranged in the electronic component body and being connected to the first outer electrode; and a second inner electrode arranged in the electronic component body and being connected to the second outer electrode; wherein the first outer electrode includes a first conductive layer that is arranged so that the first end surface, a portion of the first main surface, and a portion of the first and second side surfaces are covered with the first conductive layer and that does not include silver and a second conductive layer that is disposed on the first conductive layer so as to be positioned at an outermost layer and that includes silver; the second conductive layer includes a first contact portion that is in contact with the first main surface and the second conductive layer is not in contact with the first and second side surfaces; among the first and second inner electrodes, the inner electrode closest to the first contact portion is the second inner electrode, and the electronic component further includes a first inner conductor positioned on a virtual straight or substantially straight line connecting the second inner electrode and the first contact portion in the shortest distance; and the first inner conductor is connected only to the first outer electrode, among the first and second outer electrodes, or is connected to none of the first and second outer electrodes.
