Patent ID: 7012501

Claim:
An electrical component comprising: a base body; and outer contacts on an exterior of the base body; wherein the base body comprises: dielectric layers that are stacked and that contain ceramic; electrode layers that are stacked; a first resistor between two of the dielectric layers, the first resistor being connected to the outer contacts, the first resistor comprising a layer that forms a first path between outer contacts, and the first resistor being above the electrode layers; and a second resistor between two of the dielectric layers, the second resistor being connected to the outer contacts, the second resistor comprising a layer that forms a second path between outer contacts, and the second resistor being below the electrode layers; wherein the dielectric layers comprise a ceramic layer, the ceramic layer comprising a varistor ceramic, and wherein a sintering temperature of the ceramic layer is between 950° C. and 1200° C.
