Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An ESD (ElectroStatic Discharge) protection component has: first and second discharge electrodes arranged so as to be opposed to each other through a gap; and a discharge inducing portion kept in contact with the first and second discharge electrodes and configured to connect the first and second discharge electrodes to each other. The discharge inducing portion has metal particles, a ceramic material containing glass, and a dielectric material having a dielectric constant higher than that of the ceramic material. A content of the dielectric material is in the range of 7.5 to 40% by volume, with respect to a total volume of the ceramic material and the dielectric material.
