Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
124 words
An electronic component device comprising: a component body including at least one coil and having leads attached thereto; a protecting elastic body in which said component body is entirely embedded, the leads of said component body passing through said elastic body and outside thereof; a base plate having side portions; means for coupling said protecting elastic body and said base plate, said coupling means being provided on said protecting elastic body and on said base plate; external terminals attached to said side portions of said base plate and electrically connected to said leads; said external terminals having free end portions; and encapsulation means surrounding said base plate and said protecting elastic body; the free end portions of said external terminals extending outside said encapsulation.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
124 words
An electronic component device comprising: a component body including at least one coil and having leads attached thereto; a protecting elastic body in which said component body is entirely embedded, the leads of said component body passing through said elastic body and outside thereof; a base plate having side portions; means for coupling said protecting elastic body and said base plate, said coupling means being provided on said protecting elastic body and on said base plate; external terminals attached to said side portions of said base plate and electrically connected to said leads; said external terminals having free end portions; and encapsulation means surrounding said base plate and said protecting elastic body; the free end portions of said external terminals extending outside said encapsulation.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
18 words
An electronic component device according to claim 1, wherein said protecting elastic body is formed of silicone rubber.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
35 words
An electronic component device according to claim 1, wherein said coupling means comprises a through-aperture formed in said base plate, and an engagement protrusion provided on said protecting elastic body and elastically engaging said through-aperture.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
50 words
An electronic component device according to claim 1, wherein grooves are formed in said side portions of said base plate, said leads being inserted through said grooves; and first conductor patterns are provided around said grooves, said leads being electrically connected to said external terminals through said first conductor patterns.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
46 words
An electronic component device according to claim 4, wherein recesses are formed in said side portions of said base plate, said external terminals being fitted in said recesses; said grooves being in communication with said recesses respectively; and second conductor patterns are provided around said recesses.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
41 words
An electronic component device according to claim 5, wherein said first conductor pattern provided around each of said grooves is contiguous with said second conductor pattern provided around that one of said recesses which is in communication with said each groove.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
61 words
An electronic component device according to claim 5, wherein said first conductor pattern provided around at least one of said grooves is separate from said second conductor pattern provided around that one of the recesses which is in communication with said groove and connected to the second conductor pattern provided around another one of said recesses through a third conductor pattern.
