An electronic component such as a capacitor includes a substrate having
first and second principal surfaces, a dielectric layer overlaying the
first principal surface of the substrate, a first electrode, and a second
electrode. There is a passivation layer overlaying the first and second
electrodes, a first opening being formed in the passivation layer over
the first electrode and a second opening being formed in the passivation
layer over the second electrode. A first bottom electrode termination is
positioned in the first opening and a second bottom electrode termination
is positioned in the second opening. The first bottom electrode
termination is electrically connected to the first electrode and the
second bottom electrode termination is electrically connected to the
second electrode. A standoff is positioned between the first bottom
electrode termination and the second bottom electrode termination and
attached to the passivation layer to thereby provide support for the
electronic component when mounted. The standoff provides resistance to
tilting.
