ESD PROTECTIVE DEVICE

摘要

An ESD protective device is provided which can lower a discharge start voltage. In an ESD protective device 1, first and second discharge electrodes 3 and 4 are disposed in a substrate 2 in a spaced relation with a discharge gap G interposed therebetween, and a conductor 9 is arranged around the discharge gap G. The conductor 9 has a nonlinear sectional shape in a section of the substrate 2 extending in a direction interconnecting a first principal surface 2a and a second principal surface 2b of the substrate 2 and passing the discharge gap G.
