Patent ID: 7839621

Claim:
An electronic component comprising: an element body with a dielectric property having a first principal face and a second principal face facing each other, and a first side face and a second side face extending so as to couple the first principal face and the second principal face to each other, and facing each other; a first electrode laid on the first principal face of the element body; a second electrode laid on the second principal face of the element body and facing the first electrode; a first lead conductor electrically connected to the first electrode; a second lead conductor electrically connected to the second electrode; a first lead wire electrically connected to the first lead conductor; and a second lead wire electrically connected to the second lead conductor; wherein the first lead conductor has a first portion laid on the first side face, and said first portion is connected to the first lead wire to be electrically connected to the first lead wire; wherein the second lead conductor has a first portion laid on the second side face, and said first portion is connected to the second lead wire to be electrically connected to the second lead wire; wherein the element body has a third side face and a fourth side face extending so as to couple the first principal face and the second principal face to each other, and facing each other; wherein the first lead conductor has a second portion laid on the first principal face so as to be drawn out from the first electrode and up to the first portion of the first lead conductor; wherein the second lead conductor has a second portion laid on the second principal face so as to be drawn out from the second electrode and up to the first portion of the second lead conductor; wherein the second portion of the first lead conductor and the second portion of the second lead conductor do not face each other when seen from a facing direction of the first principal face and the second principal face; wherein the second portion of the first lead portion extends from the first electrode toward the third side face; and wherein the second portion of the second lead portion extends from the second electrode toward the fourth side face.
