1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to an ESD (electrostatic discharge) protection component and a method for manufacturing the EST protection component.
2. Related Background Art
There is a known ESD protection component provided with an element body in which a plurality of insulator layers are stacked, a coil constructed by connecting a plurality of internal conductors to each other and arranged in the element body, and an ESD suppressor arranged in the element body and configured including first and second discharge electrodes arranged as separated from each other (e.g., cf. Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open Publication No. 2003-123936 (which will be referred to hereinafter as Patent Literature 1)). There is another known ESD protection component provided with an ESD suppressor configured including first and second discharge electrodes arranged as separated from each other, and a discharge inducing portion kept in contact with the first and second discharge electrodes so as to connect mutually opposed portions of the first and second discharge electrodes to each other and containing metal particles, in which a cavity portion is arranged so as to be in contact with the foregoing mutually opposed portions of the first and second discharge electrodes and with the discharge inducing portion (e.g., cf. Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open Publication No. 2011-243896 (which will be referred to hereinafter as Patent Literature 2)).
