Electronic component and electronic machine

The present invention provides an electronic component. The electronic component has a portion made of a molded body containing magnetic particulates, and even if the size of which is shrunken to the degree of the minimum cross-sectional area equal to or less than 10mm2, it can still have electronic component characteristics of mechanical strength and the magnetic property based on the molded body for suitable use as an electronic component. Said electronic component includes an electronic component (inductance element 1) having a portion made of a molded body (powder magnetic core 3) containing magnetic particulates of the electronic portion, and it has a flexural strength between 20N/mm2 and 45N/mm2 and an elastic coefficient between 1kN/mm2 and 3.5kN/mm2.
