Abstract
A chip type electronic component includes a main body having opposite first and second end surfaces and a lower surface defining a first plane. First and second electrode portions are respectively connected to the first and second end surfaces of the main body. Each of the first and second electrode portions includes a lower surface. Each lower surface of the first and second electrode portions includes a first planar face extending adjacent the main body in a second plane which is parallel to the first plane defined by the main body, and a second planar face extending adjacent the first planar face in a third plane which extends upwardly at an angle relative the second plane away from the main body. Accordingly, upon mounting of the chip type electronic component to a planar circuit board, a space is provided between the second planar face of each of the first and second electrode portions for accommodating solder materials.
