ELECTRONIC COMPONENT

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an electronic component which can be manufactured in a manufacture process of inexpensive cost, in which shock resistance, durability and mounting reliability can be improved, while dispensing with fine adjustment and moisture resistance and thermal resistance by the prevention of damage to the sheath material. SOLUTION: The electronic component 1 has an element 2, a pair of terminal parts 4 arranged in the element 2, and the sheath material 5 covering a part of the terminal parts 4 and the element 2. The terminal parts 4 project from corner parts at the base and sides of the sheath material 5. Tapered parts 10 are installed in corner parts projecting from the terminal parts 4 in the sheath material 5. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
