Abstract:
An electronic component comprising a coil having interconnected segments buried on faces of laminations in a rectangular-parallelepiped laminated chip and first and second terminal electrodes respectively located at opposite first and second ends of the chip,first and second lead out conductors respectively connected between opposite first and second ends of the coil and the first and second terminal electrodes,having a longitudinal axis extending at right angles to the faces of the laminations and on a straight line joining central points of the opposed end surfaces of the chip where said terminal electrodes are located,the chip having a size and shape enabling mounting thereof on a circuit board surface in a position such that the coil axis extends parallel to the circuit board surface,the coil having a winding locus as seen in the direction of said coil axis and projected on an end face of the chip perpendicular to the coil axis, andthe winding locus and leadout conductors being positioned such that when the electronic component is mounted on a circuit board with the coil axis parallel to the circuit board surface, the winding locus and the distance between the leadout components and the circuit board remain unchanged despite a reversal in the position of the electronic component on the circuit board.
