Abstract: An electronic device includes a chip component and a metal terminal. The chip component includes an element body containing laminated internal electrodes and a terminal electrode formed outside the element body to connect with ends of the internal electrodes. The metal terminal is connectable with the terminal electrode of the chip component. The metal terminal includes an electrode facing portion, a holding portion, and a mount portion. A connection member connecting between the electrode facing portion and the end surface of the terminal electrode exists in a joint region in a predetermined range. A non-joint region is formed between an edge of the joint region and the holding portion. A non-joint gap between the electrode facing portion and the end surface of the terminal electrode becomes larger toward the holding portion in the non-joint region.

Abstract: A metal terminal is connectable to terminal electrodes of chip components arranged side by side. The metal terminal includes units corresponding to each chip. Each unit includes an electrode facing portion, a pair of upper and lower holding portions, a mount portion, and protrusions. The electrode facing portion faces the electrode of the chip. The pair of upper and lower holding portions holds the chip. The mount portion is located below the lower holding portion of the electrode facing portion. The protrusions protrude from the electrode facing portion toward the electrode. The protrusions in each unit are arranged substantially line-symmetrically to a virtual center line passing through a middle point between the upper and lower holding portions.
