An electronic component which functions as a discriminator includes a piezoelectric resonator having a substrate. First and second pattern electrodes are provided on a first major surface of the substrate. First and second support members made from an electrically conductive material are provided on external electrodes provided on one side surface of a piezoelectric resonator. One end of the first support member is electrically connected to a land of the first pattern electrode via electrically conductive paste and the other end of the first support member is mechanically connected to an insulating member disposed on the substrate. One end of the second support member is electrically connected to a land of the second pattern electrode via electrically conductive paste and the other end of the second support member is mechanically connected to another insulating member disposed on the substrate.
