Multilayer varistor

Abstract

A multilayer varistor according to the present disclosure includes: a sintered compact having, on a surface thereof, at least one planar portion and at least one corner portion; an internal electrode provided inside the sintered compact; a high-resistivity layer arranged to cover the at least one planar portion and the at least one corner portion of the sintered compact at least partially; and an external electrode arranged to cover the high-resistivity layer partially and electrically connected to the internal electrode. The high-resistivity layer includes: a first high-resistivity layer covering the at least one planar portion; and a second high-resistivity layer covering the at least one corner portion. The first high-resistivity layer has a larger average thickness than the second high-resistivity layer.
