Patent ID: 8130486

Claim:
An electronic component comprising: a functional element having a first end surface having a circular shape and functioning as an electrode, a second end surface which is opposite to the first end surface along a center axis and which is parallel to the first end surface, the second end face having a circular shape and functioning as an electrode, and a side surface having a cylindrical shape extending along the center axis, wherein the functional element includes first and second electrode foils which are rolled about the center axis and which are exposed from the first and second surfaces, respectively; a first collector including a first collector plate joined to the first end surface of the functional element, and a first terminal extending from the first collector plate; a second collector including a second collector plate joined to the second end surface of the functional element, and a second terminal extending from the second collector plate; and an outer package having a rectangular parallelepiped shape for integrally covering the functional element, the first collector, and the second collector, wherein the first terminal of the first collector and the second terminal of the second collector include a first distal end portion and a second distal end portion exposed from the outer package, respectively, the outer package has a first surface and a second surface parallel to the first end surface and the second end surface of the functional element, and has first to fourth corners as seen from a direction of the center axis, the first corner is adjacent to the second corner and is positioned diagonally from the third corner, and the first terminal and the second terminal are arranged at the first corner and the second corner of the outer package, respectively.
