1. An electronic component, comprising:
an element body including a first end surface and a second end surface opposing each other and a side surface coupling the first end surface and the second end surface;
a plurality of internal conductors in the element body;
a first external electrode on the first end surface and a second external electrode on the second end surface, each including an electrode layer in which migration is relatively prone to occur; and
a first external conductor and a second external conductor disposed in a direction in which the first end surface and the second end surface oppose each other and separated from the first external electrode and the second external electrode, on the side surface, each including a conductor layer in which migration is less prone to occur than in the electrode layer,
wherein the plurality of internal conductors includes a first internal conductor electrically connected to the first external electrode and the first external conductor and a second internal conductor electrically connected to the second external electrode and the second external conductor, the first internal conductor and the second internal conductor opposing each other in a direction orthogonal to the direction in which the first end surface and the second end surface oppose each other,
the first external conductor is located between the first external electrode and the second external conductor,
the second external conductor is located between the second external electrode and the first external conductor, and
a first shortest distance between the first external electrode and the first external conductor and a second shortest distance between the second external electrode and the second external conductor are smaller than a shortest distance between the first external conductor and the second external conductor.
