Abstract
Provided is an ESD protection device having high insulation reliability and good discharge characteristics. An ESD protection device includes a first discharge electrode and a second discharge electrode that are disposed so as to face each other, a discharge auxiliary electrode () formed so as to span between the first discharge electrode and the second discharge electrode, and an insulator base that holds the first discharge electrode, the second discharge electrode, and the discharge auxiliary electrode (). The discharge auxiliary electrode () includes an aggregate of a plurality of metal particles () each having a core-shell structure including a core portion () that contains, as a main component, a first metal and a shell portion () that contains, as a main component, a metal oxide containing a second metal. A pore () is present in at least part of the shell portion ().
