  • Patent number: 9404732
    Abstract: An electronic component thickness measurement method includes extracting, from a plurality of second reference lines in first image data and a plurality of second reference lines in second image data, only a second reference line at which a difference in intensity peak between respective second reference lines at a same position in the first image data and the second image data is smallest, and forming third image data including a first reference line and the extracted second reference line, and calculating a thickness of the electronic component from a distance between the first reference line and the second reference line in the third image data.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 8, 2014
    Date of Patent: August 2, 2016
    Assignee: Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd.
    Inventors: Yoshinao Nishioka, Masayoshi Haruki
  • Patent number: 9136056
    Abstract: An electronic component includes an electronic component body. The electronic component body includes a base member including two opposed end surfaces, and two outer electrodes respectively disposed on at least the two opposed end surfaces of the base member. Two connection portions of two metal terminals are respectively connected to the two outer electrodes. A relationship of 6.4? h/t is satisfied where h is a length of each of two leg portions of the two metal terminals and t is a thickness of each of the two leg portions of the two metal terminals.

  • Patent number: 8830654
    Abstract: An electronic component includes an electronic component body and metal terminals. The electronic component body includes a base member and external electrodes. The base member includes two opposed end surfaces, two opposed side surfaces, and two opposed principal surfaces. The external electrodes are disposed on the end surfaces of the base member. The metal terminals are connected to the external electrodes by bonding with solder. A relationship of about 21?Vc/Vh?about 320 is satisfied where Vc is a volume of the electronic component body and Vh is a volume of the solder provided at one of the pairs of the external electrodes and the metal terminals.
