Original Abstract Submitted

An inductor component includes a base body, a coil inside the base body and helically wound along the axis, and first and second outer electrodes in the base body and electrically connected to the coil. The base body includes first and second end surfaces opposite each other, first and second side surfaces opposite 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 opposite the bottom surface. The first and second outer electrodes are at least on the bottom surface. The axis is parallel to the bottom surface and intersects with the first and second side surfaces. The coil includes coil wiring layers stacked along the axis, and a via wiring layer configured to connect adjacent ones of the coil wiring layers in an axial direction, which is a direction of the axis.
