Abstract

Abstract Dielectric sheets (2) having internal electrodes (4) and (5) formed on the respective surfaces thereof, a dielectric sheet (2) having an outgoing electrode (6) formed on the surface thereof, and dielectric sheets (2) having a shielded electrode (3) formed on the surface thereof are piled and integrally sintered to form a lamination. Grounding external electrodes are formed on the front side and the rear side of this lamination, respectively, and an input/output external electrode is formed on the left side thereof. An end portion (4a) of the internal electrodes (4) and an end portion (3a) of the shielded electrodes (3) are connected to the grounding external electrode on the front side. An end portion (5a) of the internal electrodes (5) and an end portion (3b) of the shielded electrode (3) are connected to the grounding external electrode on the rear side. An end portion (6a) of the outgoing electrode (6) is connected to the input/output external electrode on the left side. The end portion (6b) of the outgoing electrode (6) is capacitance-coupled with the adjacent internal electrode (5).
