On the surface of a ceramic sinter, at least an external electrode for
input, an external electrode for output, and external electrodes for
grounding are disposed, and the ceramic sinter includes an inductor
electrically connected to the external electrode for input and external
electrode for output, and a varistor electrically connected to the
external electrode for input and external electrodes for grounding. By
connecting the inductor to the signal line of the circuit of an
electronic appliance and connecting the varistor between the input side
of the signal line and the ground, electrostatic discharge pulses of
about 0.5 to 2 nanoseconds can be suppressed efficiently.
