Patent ID: 8098478

Claim:
An electric element comprising: n (n is a positive integer) first conductive plate; m (m is a positive integer) second conductive plate alternately laminated with the n first conductive plate; a first electrode connected to one end of the n first conductive plate; a second electrode connected to the other end of the n first conductive plate; and j (j is a positive integer) third electrode connected to the m second conductive plate, wherein: the n first conductive plate and the m second conductive plate are laminated in the direction perpendicular to the normal direction of a substrate surface on which the electric element is disposed; the n first conductive plate includes a first extended portion disposed on one end side of the first conductive plate in the longitudinal direction of the electric element and extending out in the normal direction of a substrate, and a second extended portion disposed on the other end side of the first conductive plate in the longitudinal direction of the electric element and extending out in the normal direction of the substrate; the m second conductive plate includes a third extended portion disposed between the first extended portion and the second extended portion in the longitudinal direction of the electric element and extending out in the normal direction of the substrate; the first extended portion, the second extended portion and the third extended portion are disposed on a same side of the first and second conductive plates in the normal direction of the substrate; the first electrode is connected to the n first extended portion; the second electrode is connected to the n second extended portion; the j third electrode is connected to the m third extended portion; the m third extended portion includes a fourth extended portion extending out in a first direction, in the normal direction of the substrate, from one end of the second conductive plate in the normal direction of the substrate, and a fifth extended portion extending out in a second direction opposite to the first direction, in the normal direction of the substrate, from the other end of the second conductive plate in the normal direction of the substrate; a laminated stack of the n first conductive plate and the m second conductive plate is substantially rectangular parallelepiped in shape; and the j third electrode includes a fourth electrode connected to the m fourth extended portion on a bottom surface of the rectangular parallelepiped, a fifth electrode connected to the m fifth extended portion on an upper surface of the rectangular parallelepiped, and a sixth electrode orthogonally-crossed to the bottom surface and the upper surface of the rectangular parallelepiped, disposed on at least one of the side surfaces of the rectangular parallelepiped in the direction in which the n first conductive plate and the m second conductive plate are laminated, and connected to the fourth and fifth electrodes.
