An electroceramic device formed of a body of electroceramic material and a process of making the device is disclosed. The body has an outer perimeter edge and two sides, each of the sides forming an exterior face. At least one groove is disposed on one of the exterior faces of the body, the groove extending from the edge and forming an opening on the exterior face. A lead wire is disposed in the groove and extends outwardly from the body through the edge. A metallized, electrically conductive coating is disposed on each of the exterior faces, and are electrically insulated from each other. The coating fills any voids left between the lead wire and the interior of the groove, whereby to hold the lead wires in place within the groove and form an electrical connection with the coating. Another lead wire is provided for the other coating, and that lead wire may be disposed in another similar groove.
