  • Patent number: 9779876
    Abstract: A ceramic body is prepared that includes an inner electrode disposed inside the ceramic body and in which an end portion of the inner electrode is led to a surface of the ceramic body. An electrode layer is formed on the surface of the ceramic body so as to cover the end portion of the inner electrode, the electrode layer containing a resin, a first metal filler that contains a first metal component, and a second metal filler that contains a second metal component having a higher melting point than the first metal component. A heating step of heating the electrode layer is performed to form an electrode including a metal layer that is located on the surface of the ceramic body and that contains the first and second metal components and a metal contained in the inner electrode.

  • Patent number: 8988855
    Abstract: A ceramic electronic component includes a ceramic body and an outer electrode. The outer electrode is disposed on the ceramic body. The outer electrode includes a first conductive layer and a second conductive layer. The first conductive layer includes a resin, a first metal component, and a second metal component having a higher melting point than the first metal component. The second conductive layer is disposed on the first conductive layer. The second conductive layer is includes a plating film. An alloy particle containing the first metal component and the second metal component protrudes to the second conductive layer side from a surface of the first conductive layer.

  • Patent number: 5579213
    Abstract: A high-voltage variable resistor capable of electrically connecting a connection electrode on a circuit board and a terminal fitment to each other without using any conductive rubber or soldering. A terminal fitment which is electrically connected to a connection electrode on a circuit board without soldering is arranged between a front surface of the circuit board and an inner surface of an insulating casing. The terminal fitment is provided with a connection conductor holding section including a plurality of edges biting into an end of a connection conductor inserted into the insulating casing via each of through-holes of the insulating casing when a force in a direction of drawing the connection conductor out of the connection conductor holding section is applied to the connection conductor. The terminal fitment is integrally provided with a contact terminal section exhibiting elasticity.
