Abstract: In an electronic component including a ceramic body and an external electrode, the external electrode includes a resin layer including a conductive powder and a plating film in direct contact with the resin layer. The plating film includes a metal with a face-centered cubic structure, and a value of F is about 0.20 or more and about 0.50 or less, where F=(P?P0)/(1?P0), P0=I0(111)/{I0(111)+I0(200)+I0(220)} and P=I(111)/{I(111)+I(200)+I(220)}, and I0 (111), I0 (200), and I0 (220) are diffraction intensities of a (111) plane, a (200) plane, and a (220) plane obtained from known powder X-ray diffraction data for a metal in the plating film, and I (111), I (200), and I (220) are diffraction intensities of a (111) plane, a (200) plane, and a (220) plane obtained from an X-ray diffraction pattern of the plating film.

Abstract: The automobile decorative-part (1) comprises a resin-compact (3) having a decorative-layer (2) on its surface-layer and comprises a clear-coat layer (4) for protecting said surface-layer, and that a high-gloss region (R1) of a relatively high-gloss level is mixed with a low-gloss region (R2) of a relatively low-gloss level on the surface of said decorative-part, and that a clear-coat paint is sprayed by an atomization-coating machine onto the surface of the decorative-layer (2), and that the atomization-coating machine contains an ester-based solvent of a low-boiling point as the main-solvent that has a boiling-point of 100 degrees Celsius or less and has a solid-content of 35 to 40 percent by mass, thus forming the clear-coat layer (4) that makes it partially possible to mat the gloss of the surface of the clear-coat layer, thus manufacturing a decorative-part with an excellent quality design.

Abstract: A chip ceramic semiconductor electronic component includes a ceramic body including a ceramic semiconductor, and a first surface and a second surface in contact with the first surface, the first outer electrode on the first surface of the ceramic body, and the second outer electrode covering the first outer electrode and extending onto the second surface of the ceramic body, in which an area of a first surface of the first outer electrode is less than about 0.17 mm2, and a hard particle made of a material harder than the first outer electrode is at the interface between the first and second outer electrodes.
