Abstract
In an electronic component, a laminate includes a plurality of laminated ceramic layers and a mounting surface defined by outer edges of the plurality of laminated ceramic layers, the outer edges being continuously located adjacent to each other. Capacitor conductors are disposed on the ceramic layers and include exposed portions that are exposed at the mounting surface between the ceramic layers. An electroconductive layer defining an external electrode is arranged to directly cover the exposed portions and is formed by plating so as to be made of plated material. Another electroconductive layer covers the above-mentioned electroconductive layer and partially covers surfaces of the laminate, and it is made of a material including metal and one of glass and resin.
Claims4
An electronic component comprising:
- a laminate including a plurality of laminated insulator layers and a mounting surface defined by outer edges of the plurality of insulator layers, the outer edges being continuously arranged adjacent to each other;
- inner conductors disposed on the plurality of insulator layers and including exposed portions exposed at the mounting surface between the plurality of insulator layers;
- and
- an external electrode disposed on a surface of the laminate;
- wherein the external electrode includes:
- a first electroconductive layer disposed on the mounting surface to directly cover the exposed portions and being made of a plated material;
- and
- a second electroconductive layer covering at least a portion of the first electroconductive layer, covering partial surfaces of the laminate, and made of a material including metal and one of glass and resin.
