Chip-type electronic component and chip resistor

摘要

An object of the present invention is to provide chip electronic components excellent in mass production feasibility, of which the application state of conductive paste that makes side electrodes can be optically distinguished in the production of small-sized chip electronic components. The chip electronic component of the present invention comprises a substrate 11, and side electrodes 15 disposed at the end portions of the substrate 11, wherein the lightness of an entire surface of the side electrode 15 is not more than 6 as defined in JIS-Z8721.
