Abstract

A multilayer component includes a dielectric ceramic material that can be co-sintered with a varistor ceramic to form a monolithic multilayer component according to the invention. The multilayer component therefore includes a layer of a varistor ceramic and another layer of a dielectric. Both layers can be arranged directly adjacent to one another in the multilayer component. In the multilayer component, metallizations are arranged on or between the ceramic layers. The metallizations are structured to form conductor sections and metallized areas. The metallizations form together with the ceramic layers alongside a varistor at least one further component selected from at least one of the component functions.
