Abstract

An electrostatic discharge protection component of an array type includes ceramic insulating substrate 12; varistor region 10 which is pasted on ceramic insulating substrate 12 and then is sintered integrally with ceramic insulating substrate 12; and at least one ground outer electrode 15A and a plurality of input/output outer electrodes 15B. Varistor region 10 includes at least one ground inner electrode 14A, varistor layer 10C and the plurality of input/output outer electrodes 15B so as to form the plurality of varistors. Ground inner electrode 14A is connected with ground outer electrode 15A. This structure enables the protection component to be extremely thin.
