Abstract

In an embodiment, an electronic component with metal terminals includes: an electronic component 10 having a component body 11 of roughly rectangular solid shape, as well as external electrodes 12 provided on the ends thereof in the first direction d1, respectively; and metal terminals 20 provided in sets of two on each external electrode 12. Each metal terminal 20 has a first planar part 21 and a second planar part 23 oriented differently from the first planar part 21; the first planar part 21 is connected to each external electrode 12 in a manner facing one face of the component body 11; and the second planar part 23 is positioned in a manner facing at least partially, across a clearance 24, another face adjoining the one face of the component body 11, while being fixed to the component body 11 by an adhesive 40 provided in the clearance 24.

Claims

1. An electronic component with metal terminals, constituted by an electronic component on which metal terminals are provided, wherein:

the electronic component has a component body of roughly rectangular solid shape that contains internal conductors, and external electrodes provided on opposing ends of the component body, respectively;

each of the metal terminals has a first planar part and a second planar part oriented differently from the first planar part;
