Abstract

A chip-type electronic component comprises a chip element body including an inner circuit element, and a pair of terminal electrodes electrically connected to the inner circuit element. The pair of terminal electrodes are positioned at respective end portions of the chip element body. The chip element body has one side face acting as a mounting surface opposing a circuit substrate. The pair of terminal electrodes include an electrode portion formed on the mounting surface. Here, it is assumed that a first direction is a direction orthogonal to the mounting surface, a second direction is a direction along which the pair of terminal electrodes oppose each other on the mounting surface, and a third direction is a direction orthogonal to the first and second directions. A first length of the electrode portion along the second direction from an edge portion of the mounting surface at a center region in the third direction is set longer than a second length of the electrode portion along the second direction from the edge portion of the mounting surface at both end regions in the third direction.
