Abstract
Abstract This connection construction for an electronic component includes a circuit board, a circuit pattern on the circuit board, an external connection terminal mounted to the circuit board and connected to the circuit pattern, a ground electrode opposing the external connection terminal, and a mass of dielectric material interposed between the ground electrode and the external connection terminal. Thereby proper connection is obtained for the circuit board, without introducing any undesirable delay, or deterioration or degradation of output signal therefrom. Thus, a connection construction for an electronic component is obtained which is particularly suitable for handling high speed signals.
