Abstract
A chip-type electronic component includes a ceramic chip body, an external electrode formed on the chip body, a conductive elastic resin film made of a mixture of metal powder and elastic resin and formed to cover the external electrode, and a metal plating film. The metal powder is exposed at an obverse surface of the conductive elastic resin film. The metal plating film is formed on the obverse surface of the conductive elastic resin film at which the metal powder is exposed.
Claims3
