Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A chip resistor including: a rectangular parallelepiped insulating substrate; a strip-shaped resistor; a pair of front electrodes formed on a front surface of the resistor at both ends in the longitudinal direction; an insulating protective layer; and a pair of end face electrodes formed at both ends of the insulating substrate in the longitudinal direction, each of which is connected to each end face of the resistor, corresponding one of the front electrodes, and protective film; and a pair of external electrodes, wherein a cross-sectional shape of each of the front electrodes is almost a triangle in which a side of the end face has a maximum height, and a shape of an end face of each of the end face electrodes is almost a square.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A chip component comprising: a rectangular parallelepiped insulating substrate; a strip-shaped conductive film formed on a main surface of the insulating substrate along a longitudinal direction; a pair of electrodes formed on a surface of the conductive film at both ends in the longitudinal direction; an insulating protective layer that entirely covers the main surface of the insulating substrate including the conductive film and the pair of electrodes; and a pair of cap-shaped end face electrodes formed at both ends of the insulating substrate in the longitudinal direction, and each of which is connected to an end face of the conductive film, an end face of corresponding one of the pair of electrodes, and an end face of the protective film, wherein a cross-sectional shape of each of the pair of electrodes is almost a triangle in which a side of the end face has a maximum height, and a shape of an end face of each of the pair of end face electrodes is almost a square. 2. The chip component according to claim 1 , wherein the conductive film is a resistor, and the protective layer is formed of a glass coating layer that covers the resistor and a resin coating layer that covers the glass coating layer. 3. The chip component according to claim 1 , wherein a film thickness of the glass coating layer is less than a maximum height dimension of the pair of electrodes. 4. The chip component according to claim 1 , wherein the pair of electrodes is connected to corresponding one of the pair of end face electrodes via three faces of each of the pair of electrodes including an end face in the longitudinal direction of the insulating substrate and both side faces adjacent to the end face. 5. The chip component according to claim 2 , wherein the pair of electrodes is connected to corresponding one of the pair of end face electrodes via three faces of each of the pair of electrodes including an end face in the longitudinal direction of the insulating substrate and both side faces adjacent to the end face. 6. The chip component according to claim 3 , wherein the pair of electrodes is connected to corresponding one of the pair of end face electrodes via three faces of each of the pair of electrodes including an end face in the longitudinal direction of the insulating substrate and both side faces adjacent to the end face.
