Abstract
In an electronic component (1), a frame (3) composed of a conductor is fixed on a circumference portion on the upper surface of a circuit board (2). The circuit board (2) and the frame (3) have a side surface (41) composed of a same surface, and the circuit board (2) is provided with terminal sections (16, 17) exposed on the side surface (41). The frame (3) has an empty space (22) over a lower surface facing the circuit board (2) and a side surface (20). The empty space (22) may be filled with an insulating material.
Claims9
An electronic component having a frame which is composed of a conductor and which is fixed on a circumference portion on an upper surface of a circuit board,
- wherein the circuit board and the frame have a side surface composed of a same surface,
- wherein the circuit board has a terminal section exposed on the side surface, and
- wherein the frame has an empty space over a lower surface facing the circuit board and the side surface.
A method for manufacturing an electronic component, the method comprising:
- a process of supplying a circuit board aggregate where a plurality of circuit boards having a terminal section of an electrode are formed;
- a process of forming a frame aggregate having a plurality of frames;
- a process of fixing the circuit board aggregate and the frame aggregate;
- and a process of cutting and dividing the fixed circuit board aggregate and frame aggregate on the frames and the terminal sections,
- wherein a process of forming, on a side of the frame facing the circuit board aggregate, a groove extending along cut surfaces of the circuit board aggregate and the frame aggregate and having a wider width than a cutting width is provided before the process of fixing the circuit board aggregate and the frame aggregate.
