Original Abstract Submitted

An inductor component includes an element body; a coil provided in the element body and having a spiral shape along an axis; and first and second outer electrodes on or in the element body and electrically connected to the coil. The element body includes first and second end surfaces opposed to each other, first and second side surfaces opposed to each other, a bottom surface connected between the first and second end surfaces and between the first and second side surfaces, and a top surface opposed to the bottom surface. The element body is composed of an insulator. The axis is parallel to the bottom surface and intersects the first side surface and the second side surface. The thickness of each of first through fourth outer coil wiring layers is smaller than the thickness of each of the inner coil wiring layers.
