In a terminal member, a protuberance is formed so as to protrude toward an external electrode, and thereby, a bonding portion where the terminal member is bonded to the external electrode, the bonding portion being formed with solder, is extended substantially linearly across a part of the external electrode. Preferably, the direction in which the bonding portion is elongated linearly is in parallel to that in which internal electrodes are extended. Further, it is preferable that the bonding portion is as wide as possible, and the center of the bonding portion in the width direction is as near to the center of the end-face of the capacitor body as possible.

Monolithic ceramic capacitor

A ceramic electronic part wherein widths of portions of external terminals that are joined to end surfaces of a ceramic electronic part element are made equal to or less than widths of internal electrodes disposed in the ceramic electronic part element. The joining portions of the external terminals are joined to the end surfaces of the ceramic electronic part element so as to be positioned within areas of the end surfaces of the ceramic electronic part element where the internal electrodes are exposed when viewed in a plane. The ceramic electronic part with the external terminal is a highly reliable one and makes it possible to prevent cracking of a ceramic part element even when the ceramic electronic part is large.

Ceramic electronic part

Both of the longitudinal dimension L and the widthwise dimension W of a capacitor body are at least four times the thickness-wise dimension T, respectively. Preferably, the widthwise dimension W of the capacitor body is greater than the longitudinal dimension L.
