Abstract:
1. An electronic component comprising: a substrate including: a first front surface electrode that is adjacent to one side surface on the front surface of the substrate; a second front surface electrode that is adjacent to a side surface parallel or substantially parallel to the one side surface on the front surface of the substrate; a first back surface electrode that is provided on a back surface of the substrate, opposite to the first front surface electrode; a second back surface electrode that is provided on the back surface of the substrate, opposite to the second front surface electrode; a chip component mounted on the front surface and including: a first groove that is located in one of the four side surfaces, or in a corner portion defined by two of the four side surfaces, the first groove being at least partially located between the first front surface electrode and the first back surface electrode, the first groove being arranged along a direction normal to the front and back surfaces; a second groove that is located in one of the four side surfaces, or in a corner portion defined by two of the four side surfaces, the second groove being at least partially located between the second front surface electrode and the second back surface electrode, the second groove being arranged along the direction normal to the front and back surfaces; a first connecting conductor that is provided in a wall surface of the first groove, the first connecting conductor providing electrical continuity between the first front surface electrode and the first back surface electrode; and a second connecting conductor that is provided in a wall surface of the second groove, the second connecting conductor providing electrical continuity between the second front surface electrode and the second back surface electrode; wherein the first front surface electrode and the first connecting conductor are spaced apart from the one of the four side surfaces or the two of the four side surfaces defining the corner portion in which the first groove is located; and the second front surface electrode and the second connecting conductor are spaced apart from the one of the four side surfaces or the two of the four side surfaces defining the corner portion in which the second groove is located.
