  • Publication number: 20210125786
    Abstract: Each of a supporting-terminal-equipped capacitor chip and a mounted structure thereof includes a capacitor chip and first and second supporting terminals that each have electric conductivity. A maximum diameter size of the first supporting terminal when viewed in an axial direction is larger than a maximum length size of a portion of a first outer electrode on a second main surface in a length direction. A maximum diameter size of the second supporting terminal when viewed in the axial direction is larger than a maximum length size of a portion of a second outer electrode on the second main surface in the length direction.

  • Publication number: 20210127493
    Abstract: A mounted structure of a supporting-terminal-equipped capacitor chip includes first and second supporting terminals. The first supporting terminal includes a first helical electrically conductive portion extending in a first axial direction along a main surface. The second supporting terminal includes a second helical electrically conductive portion extending in a second axial direction along the main surface. The first helical electrically conductive portion is electrically connected to a first outer electrode at an outer peripheral side surface of the first helical electrically conductive portion. The second helical electrically conductive portion is electrically connected to a second outer electrode at an outer peripheral side surface of the second helical electrically conductive portion.

  • Publication number: 20210125785
    Abstract: A supporting-terminal-equipped capacitor chip includes a capacitor chip, and first and second supporting terminals that are electrically conductive and hold the capacitor chip therebetween. A portion of the capacitor chip other than a first connection portion and the first supporting terminal are separated from each other. A portion of the capacitor chip other than a second connection portion and the second supporting terminal are separated from each other. The first connection portion is located on the first main surface adjacent to a first end surface. The second connection portion is located on the first main surface adjacent to a second end surface.
