A surface-mountable component is disclosed. The surface-mountable component may include a substrate having a side surface and a top surface that is perpendicular to the side surface. The component may include an element layer formed on the top surface of the substrate. The element layer may include a thin-film element and a contact pad electrically connected with the thin-film element. The contact pad may extend to the side surface of the substrate. The component may include a terminal that is electrically connected with the contact pad at a connection area. The connection area may be parallel with the top surface of the substrate. The terminal may have a visible edge surface that is approximately aligned with the side surface of the substrate. The visible edge surface may be visible for inspection when the surface-mountable component is mounted to a mounting surface.
