SURGE-ABSORBING ELEMENT

Abstract: a surge-absorbing element includes a sintered body, a pair of internal electrodes, and a pair of external electrodes. the sintered body has a pair of end surfaces facing away from each other and a plurality of side surfaces each adjacent to the pair of end surfaces. the sintered body includes a functioning part having a void and an outer shell part covering the functioning part and having a lower void ratio than the functioning part. the pair of internal electrodes face each other while the functioning part is disposed between the pair of internal electrodes. each of the pair of external electrodes includes a first portion covering a corresponding one of the pair of end surfaces and second portions each covering a corresponding one of the plurality of side surfaces. a thickness of each of the second portions is greater than a thickness of the first portion.
