A coil component includes an insulating base body and a coil conductor arranged in the base body and having a winding portion extending around a coil axis. The insulating base body includes a magnetic body portion made of a magnetic material and a magnetic gap portion made of a low-permeability material having a lower relative permeability than the magnetic material. The magnetic gap portion is shaped like a ring when seen in a direction along the coil axis and arranged within the winding portion. The magnetic body portion includes a first region positioned within the winding portion, a second region positioned opposite the first region with respect to the magnetic gap portion in the direction along the coil axis, and a third region arranged within a through hole defined by an inner peripheral surface of the magnetic gap portion, where the third region connects together the first and second regions.

Coil component

A magnetic coupling coil element in one embodiment includes a magnetic base body that includes an intermediate magnetic layer, a first magnetic layer disposed over the intermediate magnetic layer, and a second magnetic layer disposed under the intermediate magnetic layer; a first coil conductor provided in the first magnetic layer; and a second coil conductor provided in the second magnetic layer. The intermediate magnetic layer has a saturation magnetic flux density lower than saturation magnetic flux densities of the first magnetic layer and the second magnetic layer in a first region that overlaps with the first coil conductor and the second coil conductor in plan view.
