An electronic component has an element, a pair of terminal portions which
are disposed on the element, and an external covering material which
covers a part of the terminal portions and the element. The electronic
component is configured such that inclined portions are disposed on
corner portions of a bottom surface and side surfaces of the external
covering material, and the terminal portions are protruded from corner
portions where the inclined portions and the bottom surface of the
external covering material intersect.
