Patent ID: 7889049

Claim:
An electronic component comprising: a layered structure including laminated ceramic layers; a first external electrode and a second external electrode disposed on a surface of the layered structure; an isolated electrode extending in a predetermined direction inside the layered structure and not being connected to the first external electrode and the second external electrode; a first internal electrode connected to the first external electrode, the first internal electrode facing a first end of the isolated electrode such that one of the ceramic layers is disposed therebetween; and a second internal electrode connected to the second external electrode, the second internal electrode facing a second end of the isolated electrode such that one of the ceramic layers is disposed therebetween; wherein when viewed in plan from a direction in which the ceramic layers are laminated, the isolated electrode includes a non-overlapping portion including a first section having a first width between opposite ends thereof and a second section having a second width between opposite ends thereof, and the first width is greater than the second width, the non-overlapping portion not overlapping the first internal electrode and the second internal electrode, the first section being in contact with at least one of the first internal electrode and the second internal electrode, the second section being in contact with the other one of the first internal electrode and the second internal electrode, the first width and the second width being perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to the predetermined direction.
