Patent ID: 8514546

Claim:
An electronic component comprising: a multilayer body having a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape including a plurality of stacked layers, a first principal surface and a second principal surface located at both ends of the multilayer body in a direction in which plurality of layers are stacked and a first side surface and a second side surface located at both ends of the multilayer body in a short side direction defined as a direction in which shorter sides of the first principal surface extend; a first capacitor conductor and a second capacitor conductor defining a portion of a capacitor in the multilayer body; a first external electrode including: a first side surface electrode connected to the first capacitor conductor and provided on the first side surface; and a first principal surface electrode having a substantially rectangular shape and being connected to the first side surface electrode, the first principal surface electrode being provided on the first principal surface so as to be in contact with a first corner of the first principal surface; and a second external electrode including: a second side surface electrode connected to the second capacitor conductor and provided on the second side surface; and a second principal surface electrode having a substantially rectangular shape and being connected to the second side surface electrode, the second principal surface electrode being provided on the first principal surface so as to be in contact with a second corner of the first principal surface opposite to the first corner; wherein the second principal surface electrode faces the first principal surface electrode in a longitudinal direction in which longer sides of the first principal surface extend; and the first side surface electrode is longer than the first principal surface electrode in the longitudinal direction and the second side surface electrode is longer than the second principal surface electrode in the longitudinal direction.
