Patent ID: 8584348

Claim:
A method of making an electronic ceramic component, comprising the steps of: terminating a ceramic body to form at least one metalized terminal covering a respective end region of the ceramic body to form at least one leadless electrode; encompassing a portion of the ceramic body by an insulating resin, the step of encompassing comprising sub-steps of: preparing a liquid resin precursor comprising an element selected from a group consisting of resin solution or resin emulsion that has a surface tension adjusted by changing a resin precursor concentration; applying the liquid resin precursor to a surface of the ceramic body to cover the surface of the ceramic body partially, thereby wetting the surface of the ceramic body while not wetting the at least one metalized terminal; and curing the liquid resin precursor applied to the wetted surface of the ceramic body to form a resin coating partially covering the surface of the ceramic body after removing extra quantity of the liquid resin precursor from the not wetted at least one metalized terminal.
