  • Electric component comprising external electrodes and method for the production of an electric component comprising external electrodes
    Patent number: 8194388
    Abstract: An electrical component includes a ceramic base body that includes a surface that is partially ceramic, electrodes in the ceramic base body that have ends that form parts of the surface of the ceramic base body, and a bonding layer on the surface of the ceramic base body. The bonding layer has a composition such that, when the bonding layer is heated, the bonding layer is less adhesive to the ends of the electrodes than when not heated.

  • Electrical multi-layer component
    Patent number: 7012501
    Abstract: An electrical component includes a base body that contains dielectric layers. The dielectric layers are superimposed and contain ceramic. The component also includes outer contacts on an exterior of the base body, and a resistor in an interior of the base body located between two of the dielectric layers. The resistor is connected to the outer contacts, and is made from a layer that forms a path between the outer contacts. The path between the outer contacts has multiple bends.
