Abstract:
1. An electronic component comprising: a substrate including a first main surface and a second main surface opposite to the first main surface, and a side connecting the first and second main surfaces; a first electrode pattern arranged to extend inwardly from an edge connecting the side and the first main surface of the substrate on the first main surface; a second electrode pattern arranged opposite to one end of the first electrode pattern through a gap of a predetermined width on the first main surface; and a third electrode pattern arranged to cover the one end of the first electrode pattern on the side of the gap and one end of the second electrode pattern on the side of the gap and to cross the gap; wherein the first, second, and third electrode patterns define electrodes on the first main surface of the substrate; and the third electrode pattern is made of a corrosion-resistant metal film, a corrosion resistance of which is superior to that of metal films from which the first and second electrode patterns are made.
