1. An inductor component comprising:
an element body including a first end surface and a second end surface opposite to each other, a first side surface and a second side surface opposite to each other, a bottom surface connected between the first end surface and the second end surface and between the first side surface and the second side surface, and a top surface opposite to the bottom surface;
a coil disposed in the element body; and
a first external electrode and a second external electrode disposed on the element body and electrically connected to the coil, wherein
the coil has a helical structure in which the coil is wound while proceeding along an axis such that the axis is parallel to the bottom surface of the element body and intersects with the first side surface and the second side surface,
the coil includes multiple coil wirings laminated along the axis and each wound along a plane, and a via wiring connecting the multiple coil wirings,
the coil wirings include a wiring part extending along a plane and a pad part disposed at an end portion of the wiring part and connected to the via wiring, and
in the first coil wiring and the second coil wiring adjacent to each other in an axial direction,
the first coil wiring is located on a central side in the axial direction of the coil relative to the second coil wiring, and a first pad part of the first coil wiring is adjacent to a second wiring part of the second coil wiring in the axial direction, and
when viewed in the axial direction, a protrusion amount of the first pad part from the second wiring part to the inside of the coil is 1.4 times or less of a width dimension of the second wiring part.
