Chip-type varistor

摘要

At least two platelike electrodes are arranged on the two major surfaces of a platelike varistor element having rounded sides and corners. A pair of external electrodes are formed on the two major surfaces and are connected to the platelike electrodes. The platelike electrodes partially overlap each other. The portion of the varistor element, sandwiched between the overlapping portions of the electrodes, provides varistor characteristics.
