Abstract
An electronic component device includes an electronic component element 13 that is interposed between a pair of spring terminals 14 and 15. The electronic component element 13 is resiliently held by the spring terminals 14 and 15, and contact portions 17 and 18 of the spring terminals 14 and 15, which are respectively brought into contact with electrodes 13b and 13c of the electronic component element 13, are positioned on both major surfaces of the electronic component element 13 so as not to be opposed to each other. At least one groove of a set of grooves 16a to 16c is formed on at least one of the major surfaces of the electronic component element 13 for guiding the direction in which the electronic component element 13 is divided when the electronic component element 13 is destroyed by, for example, an abnormal voltage.
