  • Publication number: 20200303108
    Abstract: A common mode noise filter includes an insulating layer, a first coil conductor disposed on a first surface of the insulating layer and extending slenderly, and a second coil conductor disposed on a second surface of the insulating layer and extending slenderly. The second coil conductor faces the first coil conductor across the insulating layer. A portion of the second coil conductor has a cross section crossing a direction in which the portion of the second coil conductor extends slenderly. The cross section includes an apex portion facing the first coil conductor across the insulating layer and a base side portion opposite to the apex portion. A width of the apex portion is smaller than a width of the base-side portion. The common mode noise filter reduces attenuation of differential signals in high frequencies.

  • Publication number: 20100134235
    Abstract: A pair of thick first electrodes (2) are formed on an upper surface of alumina substrate (1) are formed with material having a low specific resistance. Thin second electrodes (3) that are positioned between first electrodes (2) and made of material having a high melting point are formed in a thin state. A gap (4) is formed between the second electrodes (3). First electrodes (2) forming connection electrodes are prevented from producing heat and protected from damage. The width of the gap between second electrodes (3) is narrow and accurate. This provides an electrostatic discharge (ESD) protector that is resistant to repetitive application of static electricity, reduces a peak voltage, and has a stable characteristic suppressing electrostatic discharge.
