Patent ID: 7629872

Claim:
A chip-type component comprising: an insulating chip substrate that includes an upper surface and a lower surface, the upper surface being provided with an electric element and a cover coat covering the element; and terminal electrode films for the element, the films being formed at opposite ends of the insulating substrate and having a portion extending on the lower surface of the insulating substrate; wherein the lower surface of the substrate is provided with an insulating projection between the terminal electrode films, the projection including a peak portion positioned at or near a center of the insulating substrate in a longitudinal direction of the substrate along which the terminal electrode films are spaced from each other, and wherein the peak portion of the projection comprises a straight ridge extending in a width direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the insulating substrate along which the terminal electrode films are spaced from each other, the straight ridge being equal in length to a width of the lower surface of the substrate.
