Abstract
A surface mount type electronic component includes a substantially rectangular case substrate, an electronic element mounted on the case substrate along the longitudinal direction, and a cap which is fixed onto the case substrate in such a manner as to cover the electronic element. First and second top-surface electrodes and first and second bottom-surface electrodes, which extend along the width direction of the case substrate, are arranged with a spacing on the top surface and the bottom surface of the case substrate, respectively. The first top-surface electrode and the first bottom-surface electrode are connected to each other via a first side electrode disposed on the side surface of the case substrate, and the second top-surface electrode and the second bottom-surface electrode are connected to each other via a second side electrode disposed on the side surface of the case substrate.
