Abstract:
A low capacitance chip varistor having a capacitance lower than 10 pF, comprising:at least one sheet type first support layer formed of a member having a low dielectric constant;a varitor layer including a plurality of varistor coating layers formed on the first support layer;a second support layer enclosing the varistor layer and having lateral surfaces separated from the varistor layer;a plurality of first internal electrodes connected with the varistor layer, one end of each of which extends from the respective lateral surface of the second support layer; anda pair of integrally formed external electrodes formed on the lateral surfaces of said second support layer, the varistor layer being connected with another end portion of the first internal electrodes, the plurality of varistor coating layers being spaced from one another on the first support layer in a direction extending between the pair of external electrodes and second internal electrodes embedded within the support layers connecting said spaced plurality of varister coating layers to one another, at least two varistor coating layers connected only by one of the second internal electrodes.
