Laminated Electronic Component Orthogonal Conductor Separation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing laminated electronic components face challenges in suppressing conductor separation due to stress in directions orthogonal to the lamination direction, as the uneven portions at the conductor-element body interface are ineffective in these directions.
Innovation Solution
The laminated electronic component design includes conductors with uneven portions at cross-sections orthogonal to the lamination direction, ensuring that both the conductors and the element body have engaged uneven portions to enhance adhesion and prevent separation, with the option of all or some conductor layers having these features to optimize stress resistance.

1Reliability
If all conductor layers have uneven portions at the cross section orthogonal to the first direction, then separation due to orthogonal stress is maximally suppressed, but manufacturing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent provides flexibility in implementing the uneven portions: it is sufficient that some conductor layers have uneven portions at the cross section orthogonal to the first direction, rather than requiring all conductor layers to have them. This partial implementation approach achieves the essential function of suppressing orthogonal separation while avoiding the excessive complexity that would result from uniformly applying uneven portions to every conductor layer.

AI summary
A laminated electronic component includes an element body and a pair of conductors. The element body is formed by laminating a plurality of element-body layers in a first direction. The pair of conductors is formed by laminating a plurality of conductor layers in the first direction. The pair of conductors is provided to the element body in such a way as to be separated from each other in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction. At a cross section orthogonal to the first direction, the pair of conductors has an uneven portion and the element body has an uneven portion engaged with the uneven portion of the pair of conductors.
