Abstract
An electronic component includes an element body, a pair of external electrodes respectively disposed at both ends of the element body in a first direction, and a pair of metal terminals respectively connected to the pair of external electrodes with solder. Each metal terminal includes a connection opposing the corresponding external electrode in the first direction and formed with a plurality of grooves and includes a leg extending from the connection. The connection includes a pair of end edges separated from each other in a third direction intersecting with a second direction where the leg extends from the connection. The grooves extend in a direction different from the second direction and intersecting with the third direction so that the grooves are separated from one of the pair of end edges. A surface included in the connection and defining each of the grooves is in contact with the solder.
