In the coil component, external stress applied when the upper coil structure, the lower coil structure, and the magnetic sheet are stacked is dispersed by the undulation of both main surfaces of the magnetic sheet. By dispersing the stress in this manner, a situation in which defects such as cracks occur in the coil structure is effectively suppressed.

A stacked coil component includes: an element body, a coil disposed inside the element body; and a first outer electrode and a second outer electrode which are disposed in the element body. Each of the first outer electrode and the second outer electrode includes an electrode portion which includes a joining surface joined to the element body, and a plating surface opposite to the joining surface and is formed by plating, and of which at least a part is embedded in the element body.

Since the magnetic sheet is adopted as the coil component, magnetic saturation is likely to occur in the magnetic sheet, and it is considered that the DC superimposition characteristic of the coil component is deteriorated. However, since the inner edge of the coil structure backs down with respect to the inner edge of the magnetic sheet so that the magnetic flux generated in the coil easily circulates, the deterioration of the DC superimposition characteristics due to the adoption of the magnetic sheet is suppressed.

A multilayer coil component includes a multilayer body formed by stacking a plurality of insulating layers on top of one another and that has a coil built thereinto, and a first outer electrode and a second outer electrode that are electrically connected to the coil. The coil is formed by electrically connecting a plurality of coil conductors to one another. A first main surface of the multilayer body is a mounting surface. A stacking direction of the multilayer body and an axial direction of the coil are parallel to the mounting surface. The insulating layers between the coil conductors are composed of a material containing at least one out of a magnetic material and a non-magnetic material. A content percentage of the non-magnetic material in the insulating layers changes in a direction from a first end surface toward a second end surface of the multilayer body.
