1. An electronic component with a metal terminal comprising:
one or a plurality of electronic components having an element body, and a pair of external electrodes respectively provided on a pair of end surfaces facing each other in a first direction in the element body; and
a pair of plate-shaped metal terminals having joint portions joined to the external electrodes, and leg portions provided to protrude beyond the electronic components in a second direction intersecting the first direction,
wherein the leg portion of each of the pair of metal terminals has
an extending part continuously extending in the second direction from the joint portion,
a first bent part bent from a tip of the extending part to the electronic component side at a first angle formed to be an acute angle with respect to the extending part, and
a second bent part bent from a tip of the first bent part at a second angle larger than the first angle with respect to the extending part.
