Patent ID: 7177138

Claim:
A chip-type electronic component comprising: a chip element body including an inner circuit element, and a pair of terminal electrodes positioned at respective end portions of the chip element body and electrically connected to the inner circuit element; wherein the chip element body has one side face acting as a mounting surface opposing a circuit substrate; wherein the pair of terminal electrodes include an electrode portion formed on the mounting surface; and wherein, assuming that a first direction is a direction orthogonal to the mounting surface, a second direction is a direction along which the pair of terminal electrodes oppose each other on the mounting surface, and a third direction is a direction orthogonal to the first and second directions, a first length of the electrode portion along the second direction from an edge portion of the mounting surface at a center region in the third direction is set longer than a second length of the electrode portion along the second direction from the edge portion of the mounting surface at both end regions in the third direction.
