In a multilayer coil component, a plurality of coil conductors are stacked in a coil axis direction. A connecting conductor connects the coil conductors adjacent to each other in the coil axis direction. First, second, and third coil conductors are arranged in order in the coil axis direction. A main body portion extends in a circumferential direction of the coil axis. Pad portions are connected to the main body portion, are connected to the first coil conductor via the connecting conductor, overhang from the third coil conductor in a direction away from the coil axis when viewed from the coil axis direction, and are inclined with respect to a virtual plane orthogonal to the coil axis direction.

Multilayer coil component

A multilayer coil component includes: an element body formed by stacking a magnetic body layer containing a plurality of metal magnetic particles of a soft magnetic material; a first coil disposed in the element body and configured to include a plurality of first coil conductors; a second coil disposed in the element body and configured to include a plurality of second coil conductors; a first external electrode to which one end portion of each of the first coil and the second coil is connected; and a second external electrode to which the other end portion of each of the first coil and the second coil is connected.

In a multilayer coil component, first and second conductor patterns respectively have parallel parts that overlap in a lamination direction and non-parallel parts that do not overlap. The parallel parts of the first and second conductor patterns of one set are interconnected by a first through hole. The non-parallel parts of the first and second conductor patterns of sets adjacent to each other in the lamination direction are interconnected by a second through hole.

A soft magnetic metal powder or the like from which a soft magnetic metal fired body can be provided has a high magnetic permeability μ and a specific resistance ρ and is contained in a coil-type electronic component having sufficiently high inductance L and Q value and unlikely to be plating-extended and short-circuited. A soft magnetic metal powder contains soft magnetic metal particles containing at least Fe and Ni. Said soft magnetic metal powder further contains P, Si, Cr and/or M. M is at least one selected from among B, Co, Mn, Ti, Zr, Hf, Nb, Ta, Mo, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, Zn, Al, and rare earth elements. The content of each element is within a predetermined range.

Soft magnetic alloy powder, soft magnetic sintered body, and coil-type electronic component

In the multi-layer coil component, the hole portion is provided in the vicinity of the side surface of the element body, and the distance from the tip position of the external electrode to the hole portion is shorter than the distance from the tip position of the external electrode to the coil. Therefore, when a crack is generated starting from the tip position of the external electrode on the mounting surface, the crack progress toward the hole portion located at a distance closer than the coil. Therefore, in the multi-layer coil component, splitting of the coil due to the crack can be prevented.

Multi-layer coil component

In a multilayer coil component, a coil is configured by electrically connecting coil conductors respectively provided in magnetic body layers constituting an element body and metal magnetic particles have a normal particle having an ellipsoidal shape and flat particles having an ellipsoidal shape flatter in a thickness direction than the normal particle. A plurality of the normal particles and at least one of the flat particles disposed such that a surface (reference surface) including a major axis direction orthogonal to the thickness direction and a minor axis direction is along the forming surface of the coil conductor in the magnetic body layer are arranged in the lamination direction of the magnetic body layers between the coil conductors.

A multilayer coil component includes an element body containing a plurality of metal magnetic particles and a resin existing between the plurality of metal magnetic particles and a coil disposed in the element body and configured to include a plurality of electrically interconnected coil conductors. At least one of the plurality of coil conductors has a spiral shape and has conductor portions adjacent to each other when viewed from a direction along a coil axis of the coil. The conductor portion includes a straight conductor portion extending in a straight line and a connecting conductor portion connecting the straight conductor portion and constituting a corner portion of the coil conductor. The metal magnetic particles between the connecting conductor portions adjacent to each other are lower in density than the metal magnetic particles between the straight conductor portions adjacent to each other.

In a multilayer coil component, a ferrite element body includes a first element body portion and a second element body portion adjacent to each other in an axial direction of the multilayer coil, in which a dielectric constant of the second element body portion is lower than a dielectric constant of the first element body portion, and a magnetic permeability of the second element body portion is higher than a magnetic permeability of the first element body portion. The inventors newly found that the first element body portion and the second element body portion contribute to coil characteristics when a coil winding portion is provided to extend over the first element body portion and the second element body portion. In the multilayer coil component, desired coil characteristics can be obtained by adjusting proportions of the first element body portion and the second element body portion in the ferrite element body.

The inventors have newly found that, even when a composition of a first element body portion and a composition of a second element body portion are different from each other, a high bonding strength at an interface between the first element body portion and the second element body portion can be obtained when both the first element body portion and the second element body portion contain ZnSiOas a constituent component. That is, when the first element body portion and the second element body portion contain ZnSiO, a bonding strength at the interface is improved compared to a case in which the first element body portion and the second element body portion do not contain ZnSiO.

A multilayer coil electronic component having improved inductance L, Q, and strength, and which has an element in which a coil conductor and a magnetic element body are stacked. The magnetic element body includes soft magnetic metal particles and a resin. The resin fills a space between the soft magnetic metal particles. Each of soft magnetic metal particles has a soft magnetic metal particle core and an oxide film covering the soft magnetic metal particle core. A layer of the oxide film contacting the soft magnetic metal particle core is made of an oxide including Si.

Multilayer coil electronic component

In a stepwise structure formed in a multilayer coil component, a difference occurs in a shrinkage amount between a maximum film thickness portion in which the number of layers is large and a minimum film thickness portion in which the number of layers is small due to portions different in the number of layers of coil parts (that is, upper coil part, lower coil part, and connecting part) adjacent to each other like the maximum film thickness portion and the minimum film thickness portion, readily causing a crack by an inner stress due to the difference in the shrinkage amount. In a multilayer coil component according to the present disclosure, a stress relaxation part overlapping with a maximum film thickness portion whose shrinkage amount is large is provided to relax inner stress in a stepwise structure, resulting in prevention of a crack.

A ferrite composition includes a main component and an accessory component. The main component includes 43.0 to 51.0 mol % of iron oxide in terms of FeO, 5.0 to 15.0 mol % of copper oxide in terms of CuO, 1.0 to 24.9 mol % of zinc oxide in terms of ZnO, and a remaining part of nickel oxide. The accessory component includes 0.2 to 3.0 pts. wt. of silicon compound in terms of SiO, 3.0 to 8.0 pts. wt. of cobalt compound in terms of CoO(excluding 3.0 pts. wt.), and 0.2 to 8.0 pts. wt. of bismuth compound in terms of BiOwith respect to 100 pts. wt. of the main component.

Ferrite composition, ferrite sintered body, electronic device, and chip coil

In a multilayer coil component, an end of a lower coil layer and an end of a connecting part are directly overlapped, and the end of the lower coil layer includes a contact edge positioned on a side of the connecting part and being in contact with the connecting part and a non-contact edge positioned on a side opposite to the connecting part and not being in contact with the connecting part. Then, the contact edge and the non-contact edge are not overlapped when viewed from a laminated direction. Consequently, a propagation distance of a crack becomes longer as compared with the case where an end face is parallel to the laminated direction, effectively suppressing advance of the crack. Suppressed advance of a crack in this manner makes the multilayer coil component provide a high component strength as a whole.

A soft magnetic metal powder includes a plurality of soft magnetic metal grains composed of an Fe&#x2014;Si based alloy. A content of P in the Fe&#x2014;Si based alloy is 110 to 650 ppm provided that a total content of Fe and Si is 100 mass %. A soft magnetic metal fired body includes soft magnetic metal fired grains composed of an Fe&#x2014;Si based alloy. A content of P in the Fe&#x2014;Si based alloy is 110 to 650 ppm provided that a total content of Fe and Si is 100 mass %.
