ELECTRONIC COMPONENT AND METHOD OF MOUNTING THE SAME

摘要

An electronic component in which an external electrode and a substrate body are in close contact with each other with higher contact strength. An electronic component (10) has (a) an insulative substrate body (12), (b) at least one groove (14) formed in at least one main surface (12a) of the substrate body (12), and (c) at least one external electrode (20) formed on at least the one main surface (12a) of the substrate body (12) and having a portion (24) entering at least a portion of the groove (14).
