  • Patent number: 10504652
    Abstract: An electronic component having excellent reliability includes a first lateral surface and two external electrodes on an outermost side in a length direction among three or more external electrodes on the first lateral surface that are thicker than the other external electrode. On a second lateral surface, two external electrodes that are located on the outermost side in the length direction among three or more external electrodes disposed on the second lateral surface are thicker than the other external electrode.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9961815
    Abstract: A series of electronic components stored in a tape include a plurality of electronic components each arranged such that a first main surface faces a bottom surface of a cavity. In each electronic component, on a first side surface, a thickness in a width direction of a first terminal electrode at a first main surface side is smaller than a thickness in the width direction of the first terminal electrode at a second main surface side, and on a second side surface, a thickness in the width direction of a second terminal electrode at the first main surface side is smaller than a thickness in the width direction of the second terminal electrode at the second main surface side.

  • Publication number: 20170229244
    Abstract: A multilayer ceramic capacitor includes a capacitor body including a first internal electrode laminated portion in which three or more first internal electrodes are laminated in a laminating direction, and a second internal electrode laminated portion in which three or more second internal electrodes are laminated in the laminating direction. The second internal electrode laminated portion is opposite to the first internal electrode laminated portion in the laminating direction.

  • Patent number: 9570234
    Abstract: In a multilayer ceramic capacitor, SG represents an average of a distance between end portions of inner electrodes in a width direction and side surfaces of a ceramic body, OT represents an average of a distance between inner electrodes closest to main surfaces and the main surfaces, ET1 represents an average of dimensions of each portion of third and fourth terminal electrodes located on the main surfaces, and ET2 represents an average of dimensions of each portion of the third and fourth terminal electrodes located on the side surfaces. A dimension of the ceramic body in the width direction is larger than a dimension of the ceramic body in the height direction and Equations (1) and (2) are satisfied: SG>OT??(1) ET1>ET2??(2).
