An electric heating type support includes: a pillar shaped honeycomb structure being configured to a ceramic, including: an outer peripheral wall; and partition walls disposed on an inner side of the outer peripheral wall, the partition walls defining a plurality of cells, each of the cells extending from one end face to other end face to form a flow path; at least one electrode layer disposed on a surface of the outer peripheral wall of the pillar shaped honeycomb structure; and at least one electrode connecting portion provided on the at least one electrode layer, the at least one electrode connecting portion being connectable to a metal connector. The at least one electrode connecting portion has at least one independent rising portion, and a height of the at least one electrode connecting portion from a surface of the at least one electrode layer is from 1 to 6 mm.
