Abstract:
An electronic component comprising:an electronic element having first and second electrodes on opposing sides relative to each other, anda support elastically bracketing the electronic element having first and second contact portions in contact with different positions on the first electrode, respectively, and third and fourth contact portions in contact with different positions on the second electrode, respectively,the first and fourth contact portions being electrically connected to the first and second electrodes, respectively, to form a conductive path to the electronic element,the second and third contact portions being in contact with the first and second electrodes in the electrically insulated state, respectively,the electronic element being supported by the first to fourth contact portions in such a manner that the first and third contact portions exert forces on the electronic element in a direction toward each other and the second and fourth contact portions exert forces on the electronic element in a direction toward each other.
