Electrical component

The invention concerns an electrical LC component (50) which may in particular be a filter. The component has a ceramic body (52) which is shaped to define a trough (82). At least one through-going opening (58, 60) in the ceramic body extends from the trough to an exterior surface of the ceramic body. An inductor (56) is housed in the trough and has a wire lead (84, 86) which extends into the through-going opening and is thereby connected to a contact (62, 64) on the exterior of the ceramic body. A capacitor is formed within the ceramic body by a set of capacitor plates (72, 74) which are electrically connected to the wire inductor lead and are interleaved with a further set of capacitor prates (76) which are electrically isolated from the wire inductor lead.
