Abstract

A dielectric porcelain composition of the present invention includes a first component and second component. If the first component is represented by the general formula of xBaO-yNd 2 O 3 -zTiO 2 -wBi 2 O 3 (provided that x+y+z+w=100), x, y, z, and w satisfy 12≦x≦16, 12≦y≦16, 65≦z≦69, and 2≦w≦5, respectively. The second component includes 30 to 37 wt % of BaO, 33 to 46 wt % of SiO 2 , 8 to 12 wt % of La 2 O 3 , 3 to 7 wt % of Al 2 O 3 , 0 to 1 wt % of SrO, 0 to 10 wt % of Li 2 O, 0 to 20 wt % of ZnO, and 7 wt % or less of B 2 0 3 . The compounding ratio of the second component is between 10 wt % and 30 wt % when the sum of the first and second components is 100. In addition, 0.1 to 1 parts by weight of Li 2 O and 3 to 10 parts by weight of ZnO, relative to 100 parts by weight of the sum of the first and second components, is also contained as a third component. An average particle diameter of the dielectric mixed powder forming dielectric porcelain composition before firing is 0.9 μm or less.
