Abstract
An electronic component includes an electronic component element having a substantially rectangular plate disposed between upper and lower case substrates in the form of substantially rectangular plates such that the upper and lower case substrates and the electronic component element are stacked and define an integral unit. Assuming that the length of the shorter sides and the length of the longer sides of the electronic component element are a0 and b0, respectively, and that the length of the shorter sides and the length of the longer sides of the lower case substrate 3 are a1 and b1, respectively, the relationships a0<a1 and b0<b1 are satisfied.
Claims19
An electronic component comprising:
- an electronic component element including a substantially rectangular plate having terminal electrodes provided on at least two sides edges of said electronic component element;
- upper and lower case substrates each including substantially rectangular plates stacked on each other with the electronic component element disposed therebetween, such that said terminal electrodes of said electronic component element are exposed to the exterior of the electronic component at said at least two side edges;
- and
- an adhesive arranged to directly adhere the upper and lower case substrates to the electronic component element;
- wherein a0<a1 and b0<b1 are satisfied where a length of shorter sides and a length of longer sides of the electronic component element are a0 and b0, respectively, and a length of shorter sides and a length of longer sides o the lower case substrate are a1 and b1, respectively.
An electronic component comprising:
- an electronic component element having terminal electrodes provided on at least two sides edges of said electronic component element;
- upper and lower case substrates stacked on each other with the electronic component element disposed therebetween, such that said terminal electrodes of said electronic component element are exposed to the exterior of the electronic component at said at least two side edges;
- and
- an adhesive arranged to directly adhere the upper and lower case substrates to the electronic component element;
- wherein
- a size of the electronic component element is smaller than a size of at least one of the upper and lower case substrates.
