A dielectric filter including a dielectric block having two through bores, an
outer
conductor covering an outer peripheral surface of the block and one end face of
the block, an inner conductor covering an inner periphery of the block, and a pair
of input and output electrodes formed on the surface of the block, the other end
face of the block being in the form of an open end face having no conductor layer.
The pair of input and output electrodes are opposed to each other on one plane,
and a dielectric block exposing portion having no conductor layer thereon is formed
between the two electrodes. The block is provided in the other end face thereof
with one groove dividing the open end face, and an inner surface defining the groove
is provided with a conductor layer joined to the outer conductor.
