Electronic component and ladder filter

摘要

On a first major surface of a substrate 12 of a ladder filter 10, pattern electrodes 14a to 14e and lands 16a to 16e are provided. Lamination-structure piezoelectric resonators 20a1, 20a2, 20b1, and 20b2 are connected to the lands 16a to 16e. A metal cap 40 is bonded to the pattern electrodes 14d and 14e with electrically conductive adhesive at the periphery of the substrate 12 so as to cover the piezoelectric resonators. On the second major surface of the substrate 12, pattern electrodes 18a to 18c which are connected to the pattern electrode 14a, 14c, and 14d through via holes 12a to 12c are provided. The above electric component is a surface-mountable, lamination-structure piezoelectric resonator, which can be made to have a low profile, and in which a defect caused by a short-circuit is unlikely to occur, and an adverse effect on the characteristics is unlikely to happen.
