Abstract

A multilayer inductor component includes an element body, an internal conductor, and an external electrode. The internal conductor is disposed in the element body. The external electrode is disposed on a surface of the element body and electrically connected to the internal conductor. The external electrode includes a sintered metal layer and a plating layer. The sintered metal layer is disposed on the surface of the element body. The plating layer covers the sintered metal layer. The sintered metal layer includes a thick portion and thin portions. The thick portion covers the surface of the element body. A plurality of glass particles is dispersed in the thick portion. The thin portions cover glass particles exposed on a surface of the thick portion among the plurality of glass particles and being in contact with the plating layer.
