first and second terminal electrodes formed so as to be
externally engageable at a first edge end portion of the
insulating substrate;
a third terminal electrode formed so as to be externally
engageable at a second edge end portion of the insulating
substrate;
a first passive element formed on the insulating
substrate, two respective terminals thereof being connected
directly to the first and second terminal electrodes; and
a second passive element formed on the insulating
substrate, two respective terminals thereof being connected
directly to the second and third terminal electrodes;
wherein the first, second and third terminal electrodes
and the first and second passive elements are formed on one
surface of the insulating substrate.
The sole reference of record relied upon by the examiner
is:
Towers, "Hybrid Microcircuits," Pentech Press, 1979, pp.8-11,
