US Patent 10264677 Electronic component and manufacturing method therefor

An electronic component includes an electronic component element including first and second main surfaces, a heat-dissipation accelerating member on the first main surface, a sealing resin layer sealing the electronic component element, and a shielding member provided on the sealing resin layer and electrically connected to the heat-dissipation accelerating member. The heat-dissipation accelerating member includes fourth and fifth main surfaces. The electronic component includes a connecting member disposed on the fifth main surface of the heat-dissipation accelerating member and electrically connecting at least one portion of the heat-dissipation accelerating member and the shielding member. The connecting member has a higher thermal conductivity than the sealing resin layer. The contact area between the heat-dissipation accelerating member and the connecting member is smaller than the area of the fifth main surface.
