Abstract
Abstract A polar electronic component is provided which comprises a polar element, a first lead electrically connected to a first pole of the polar element, a second lead electrically connected to a second pole of the polar element, and an insulating package enclosing the polar element together with part of the first and second leads. The first lead has two terminal legs which are bent toward the underside of the package and transversely spaced from each other by an interval. The second lead has a terminal leg which is bent toward the underside of the package and extends into the spacing between the two terminal legs of the first lead in longitudinally overlapping relation.
