Abstract: The present invention concerns a polarized chip type electronic component comprising a body provided with a cathode contact or negative input and an anode contact or positive output. A first metallic caliper is connected to the cathode contact and a second metallic caliper is disposed opposite the first, substantially parallel to it, the second caliper being constituted by one face extended by two lateral arms, the face comprising a fold which is substantially parallel to the arms of the said caliper and on which is fixed the anode wire, an insulating packing material being disposed between the two calipers in such a way as to coat its body and its electrodes. The fold in the caliper gives an external notification of polarization.
