Mounting structure for an electronic component having an external terminal electrode
First Claim
1. An electronic component, comprising:
- an electronic component body having first and second main surfaces opposed to each other, and side surfaces connecting said first and second main surfaces;
wherein in said side surfaces, a plurality of grooves are arranged to have a first length and to extend from said first main surface to said second surface, in each of said grooves, a recess which has a second length that is smaller than said first length and which has an opening formed on the bottom surface of said grooves, is provided along the longitudinal direction of said grooves, and an external terminal electrode having said second length is disposed in said recess.

Abstract
A method for manufacturing an electronic component includes forming an aggregate electronic component including a plurality of electronic components and dividing the aggregate electronic component to separate the plurality of electronic components to form individual electronic components. Through-holes are formed in a laminated body providing an aggregate electronic component wherein via-hole conductors are arranged so as not pass through the aggregate electronic component in a thickness direction thereof, the via-hole conductors are divided by the through-holes, and each divided portion provides an external terminal electrode. Then, by dividing the laminated body along the dividing lines passing through the through-holes, a plurality of individual electronic components are produced.

13. An aggregate electronic component which has first and second main surfaces opposed to each other, and which is arranged so that a plurality of electronic components can be removed therefrom by dividing said aggregate electronic component in a direction that is substantially perpendicular to said main surfaces along predetermined dividing lines, said aggregate electronic component comprising:
-
via-hole conductors each of which has an axial direction dimension that is less than the thickness between said first and second main surfaces, and each of which is arranged to straddle said dividing line;
through-holes which pass through said first and second main surfaces, and each of which is arranged to divide said via-hole conductors; and
external terminal electrodes each defined by a divided portion of said via-hole conductor that is divided by said through-hole. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
