Electronic component and ladder filter

A electronic component served as a ladder filter (60) has a piezoelectric resonator (20a,20b,20c,20d) having reduced spurious vibrations and having a wider range of selection of the difference ΔF between the resonant frequency and the antiresonant frequency, and is designed so as to be reduced in size. The ladder filter (60) includes an insulating substrate (12) on which four pattern electrodes (14a,14b,14c,14d) are formed. Four lands (16a,16b,16c,16d) are respectively formed as portions of the four pattern electrodes. Another land is formed as a portion of the second pattern electrode. External electrodes (30a,30b) of four piezoelectric resonators (20a,20b,20c,20d) using a longitudinal vibration mode and capable of being mounted in a surface mount manner are connected to the land of the pattern electrodes by supporting members (32a,32b) made of an electroconductive material. The four piezoelectric resonators are arranged in a row in the order of a first series resonator (20a), a first parallel resonator (20b), a second parallel resonator (20c) and a second series resonator (20d).
