Accordingly, the area of connection between the via conductors and the corresponding terminal electrodes is increased, improving connection reliability through enhancement of tolerance for positional deviation.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2012Date of Patent: February 10, 2015Assignee: NGK Spark Plug Co., Ltd.Inventors: Daisuke Yamashita, Kazunaga Higo, Tetsuji Tsukada
