In an embodiment of a multilayer electronic component, one main electrode part 12a of the first external electrode 12 present on one height-direction face of the capacitor body 11 of the multilayer capacitor is partially opposed to the other main electrode part 13a of the second external electrode 13 present on the other height-direction face, while one main electrode part 13a of the second external electrode 13 present on one height-direction face of the capacitor body 11 is partially opposed to the other main electrode part 12a of the first external electrode 12 present on the other height-direction face of the capacitor body 11, and margin areas MR1 to MR4 of roughly belt shape exist between each of the opposing areas OR and each of the edges on both height-direction faces of the capacitor body 11.
