A chip electronic component includes spacers that each have a predetermined thickness direction dimension on a mounting surface in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface. The spacers each contain, as a main component, an intermetallic compound containing at least one high-melting-point metal selected from Cu and Ni, and Sn defining a low-melting-point metal.

Chip electronic component

A multilayer ceramic electronic component includes a laminate including external electrodes connected to a pair of metal terminals through a bonding material. Each of the pair of metal terminals includes a terminal body, an extension portion, and a mounting portion. The terminal body includes side-surface ribs, opposed to the side surfaces of the electronic component body. The bonding material is provided between the side-surface ribs and the external electrode opposed to the side-surface rib and is not provided between the terminal body and the end surface center portion of the external electrode.

Multilayer ceramic electronic component

A ceramic electronic component has a ceramic element assembly, external electrodes, and metal terminals. The external electrodes are arranged on the surface of the ceramic element assembly. The external electrodes contain a sintered metal. The metal terminals are electrically connected to the external electrodes, respectively. The external electrode and the metal terminal are directly diffusion-bonded by diffusion of metal in the metal terminals into the external electrodes. The above arrangement provides a ceramic electronic component having highly reliable metal particle bonding and a method for manufacturing the same.

Ceramic electronic component and method for manufacturing the same

In a ceramic capacitor, first and second electrode terminals each include a bonded-to-substrate portion, a first bonded-to-electrode portion bonded to a first edge of one of first and second external electrodes, a second bonded-to-electrode portion bonded to a second edge of the one of first and second external electrodes and disposed at a distance from the first bonded-to-electrode portion in the first directions, and a connecting portion connecting the first and second bonded-to-electrode portions and the bonded-to-substrate portion. W/Wis about 0.3 or more, and h/L is about 0.1 or more.
