Patent ID: 8692628

Claim:
A high-frequency module comprising: a substrate; and a non-reciprocal circuit element mounted on the substrate, the non-reciprocal circuit element including: a ferrite having a rectangular or substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape and including two opposing main surfaces; a pair of permanent magnets that are provided at the two main surfaces so as to apply a direct-current magnetic field to the ferrite; an input terminal, an output terminal and a ground terminal provided on any one of side surfaces of the ferrite that are perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to the two main surfaces of the ferrite; a first central electrode that is provided on the ferrite, that has one end thereof connected to the input terminal and that has another end thereof connected to the output terminal; and a second central electrode that is provided on both main surfaces of the ferrite in a state of being insulated from the first central electrode, that has one end thereof connected to the output terminal and that has another end thereof connected to the ground terminal; wherein the non-reciprocal circuit element is arranged such that another side surface different from the side surface on which the input terminal, the output terminal and the ground terminal are provided faces a mounting surface of the substrate and a wiring line electrode located on the mounting surface or an electronic component located on the mounting surface and at least one of the input terminal, the output terminal and the ground terminal are electrically connected to each other via a connection member.
