<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a varistor element which can suppress an occurrence of cracking in a varistor element assembly when a bonding wire is connected to an external electrode. <P>SOLUTION: A varistor element assembly 3 reveals varistor characteristics and has a first main surface 3a and a second main surface facing each other. Surface electrodes 31, 33 are arranged on the first main surface 3a and connected with corresponding inner electrodes via through hole conductors 25, 27. An insulation layer 5 consists of glass and is arranged on the first main surface 3a and the surface electrodes 31, 33 to cover them. External electrodes 11, 13 are arranged on the insulation layer 5 and connected with the surface electrodes 31, 33. Connection position of the surface electrodes 31, 33 and the through hole conductors 25, 27 and the center C of connection position of the bonding wire in the external electrodes 11, 13 are shifted when viewed from a direction perpendicular to the first main surface 3a. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
