Abstract

An electrical multilayer component includes a base body with at least two external electrodes. The electrical multilayer component includes at least a first and a second internal electrode, which are each electrically conductively connected to a respective external electrode. The electrical multilayer component includes at least one ceramic varistor layer encompassing at least the first internal electrode. The electrical multilayer component includes at least one dielectric layer arranged between the at least one varistor layer and the second internal electrode. The dielectric layer has at least one opening, which can be filled with a gaseous medium.
