Abstract
A ceramic electronic part includes at least one chip ceramic electronic part body having terminal electrodes and terminals provided on both sides. Each terminal is composed of a metal plate bent into a u shape. The outer face of a first leg of each bent terminal faces and is attached to a terminal electrode, and a second leg is attached to a substrate. The inner face of the bent terminal is provided with a solder-phobic surface not having affinity for solder, and the outer face of the bent terminal is provided with a solder-philic surface having high affinity for solder.
Claims35
A method for forming a ceramic electronic part, said method comprising the steps of:
- providing a chip ceramic electronic part body having first and second terminal electrodes;
- attaching first and second terminals to the first and second terminal electrodes, each terminal comprising a metal plate bent into generally U-shape to define first and second opposing legs the first and second legs having solder-phobic opposing surfaces which face toward one another and solder-philic non-opposing surfaces which face away from one another.
A method, comprising the steps of:
- forming a ceramic electronic part including a plurality of ceramic electronic part bodies each of which includes a pair of terminal electrodes, a first terminal electrode of each ceramic electronic part body being aligned with one electrode from the remaining ceramic electronic part bodies to form a first set of aligned terminal electrodes, a second terminal electrode of each ceramic electronic part body being aligned with the other electrode from the remaining ceramic electronic part bodies to form a second set of aligned terminal electrodes:
- and
- attaching first and second terminals to said first and second sets of aligned terminal electrodes, respectively, each terminal comprising a metal plate bent into a generally U-shape to define first and second legs having solder-phobic opposing surfaces which face toward one another and solder-philic non-opposing surfaces which face away from one another.
