Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An electronic component includes a body and a pair of terminal electrodes. The body has a pair of end faces opposing each other in a first direction, a pair of main faces opposing each other in a second direction, and a pair of side faces opposing each other in a third direction. One of the main faces serves as a mounting face. A clearance in the first direction between an end edge of a conductive resin layer and the end edge of a base metal layer at an end portion of the one of the main faces in the third direction is longer than a clearance in the first direction between the end edge of the conductive resin layer and the end edge of the base metal layer at a central portion of the one of the main faces in the third direction.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. An electronic component, comprising: a body with a rectangular parallelepiped shape, having a pair of end faces opposing each other in a first direction, a pair of main faces opposing each other in a second direction and a pair of side faces opposing each other in a third direction, in which one of the main faces serves as a mounting face; and a pair of terminal electrodes disposed on the pair of the end faces, wherein each of the pair of the terminal electrodes comprises a base metal layer disposed at least on each of the end faces and the one of the main faces, and a conductive resin layer disposed in such a way as to cover an entire end edge of the base metal layer on the one of the main faces, and a clearance in the first direction between an end edge of the conductive resin layer and the end edge of the base metal layer at an end portion of the one of the main faces in the third direction is longer than a clearance in the first direction between the end edge of the conductive resin layer and the end edge of the base metal layer at a central portion of the one of the main faces in the third direction, the clearance being a width in the first direction of an area of the one of the main faces covered by the conductive resin layer but not covered by the base metal layer. 2. The electronic component according to claim 1 , wherein a length of the base metal layer in the first direction at the end portion of the one of the main faces in the third direction is shorter than a length of the base metal layer in the first direction at the central portion of the one of the main faces in the third direction. 3. The electronic component according to claim 1 , wherein the end edge of the conductive resin layer on the one of the main faces is curved. 4. The electronic component according to claim 1 , further comprising coil conductors constituting a coil inside the body, wherein the base metal layer on the one of the main faces is spaced apart from the coil conductors when viewed from the second direction.
