    [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0001]
    [0002] The present invention relates to an electrical component, such as a condenser, a diode, a light emitting diode (LED), a resistor or a winding, to be mounted on a printed circuit board. [0002]
    [0003] 2. Description of the Related Art [0003]
    [0004] A prior art electrical component is of a rectangular parallelepiped having two electrodes on its ends. The electrical component is mounted on a printed circuit board by soldering the electrodes thereto. [0004]
    [0005] If the above-described electrical component, however, is polarized, i.e., one of the electrodes serves as an anode electrode and the other serves as a cathode electrode, when the electrical component is mounted to the printed circuit board in the reverse direction, the electrical component would be broken down by an eddy current created by a current flowing through the printed circuit board. At worst, the electrical component would be burned. [0005] SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
    [0006] It is an object of the present invention to provide a polarized electrical component such as a polarized condenser, a diode or an LED, capable of preventing the polarized electrical component from being mounted in the reverse direction on a printed circuit board. [0006]
    [0007] According to the present invention, in a polarized electrical component, a first electrode is provided at an inner-side bottom face of the component, and a second electrode is provided at an outer-side bottom face of the component. One of the first and second electrodes serves as an anode electrode, and the other serves as a cathode electrode. [0007]
    [0008] The polarized electrical component can be applied to a non-polarized electrical component where a first electrode is provided at an inner-side bottom face of the component and a second electrode is provided at an outer-side bottom face of the component. [0008] BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

    [0019] FIG. 6B is a plan view of a printed circuit board on which the electrical component of FIG. 6A is mounted. [0019] DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
    [0020] In FIGS. 1 and 2, which are perspective top and bottom views, respectively, illustrating a first embodiment of the electrical component according to the present invention, the electrical component is cylindrical and is constructed by an electrode I provided at an inner-side bottom face and an electrode [0020] 2 provided at an outer-side bottom face. As a result, the electrode 2 surrounds the electrode 1.
    [0021] If the electrical component is a polarized electrical component such as a polarized condenser, a diode or an LED, the electrode [0021] 1 serves as an anode electrode and the electrode 2 serves as a cathode electrode.
    [0022] Also, two openings [0022] 2 a are provided at the electrode 2 to take air thereinto.
    [0023] The method for mounting the electrical component of FIGS. 1 and 2 having a bottom configuration as illustrated in FIG. 3A mounted on a printed circuit board as illustrated in FIG. 3B is explained below. That is, the printed circuit board of FIG. 3B has a pad [0023] 21 corresponding to the electrode 1 of FIG. 3A and a pad 22 corresponding to the electrode 2 of FIG. 3B. First, solder paste is coated on the pads 21 and 22. Then, the electrical component of FIG. 3A is placed on the pads 21 and 22 of the printed circuit board of FIG. 3B by an automatic machine (not shown). Then, the electrical component of FIG. 3A and the printed circuit board of FIG. 3B are exposed to hot air flow, thus reflowing the solder paste. In this case, hot air easily reaches the electrode 1 and the pad 21 via the openings 2 a and 2 b, so that the solder paste at the pad 21 is effectively reflown.
    [0024] In FIG. 4A, which illustrates a second embodiment of the electrical component according to the present invention, the electrical component [0024] 1 is rectangular. In this case, as illustrated in FIG. 4B, the pad 21 of the printed circuit board is also rectangular. Thus, the electrical component of FIG. 4A can be easily mounted on the printed circuit board of FIG. 4B.
    [0025] In FIG. 5A, which illustrates a third embodiment of the electrical component according to the present invention, the electrical component [0025] 1 is polygonal; in this case, hexagonal. In this case, as illustrated in FIG. 5B, the pad 21 of the printed circuit board is also polygonal. Thus, the electrical component of FIG. 5A can be easily mounted on the printed circuit board of FIG. 5B.
    [0026] In FIG. 6A, which illustrates a fourth embodiment of the electrical component according to the present invention, the electrical component [0026] 1 is half-round, i.e., has a pair of half-round bottom faces. In this case, as illustrated in FIG. 6B, the pad 21 of the printed circuit board is also half-round. Thus, the electrical component of FIG. 6A can be easily mounted on the printed circuit board of FIG. 6B.
    [0027] In the above-described embodiments, the electrical component is polarized; however, the present invention can be applied to a non-polarized electrical component such as a non-polarized condenser, a resistor or a winding. [0027]
    [0028] As explained hereinabove, according to the present invention, even if an electrical component is polarized, the electrical component can be prevented from being mounted in the reverse direction on a printed circuit board, so as not to break down the electrical component. [0028]
