A coil component includes a core including a winding core portion and a pair of flange portions provided at both ends of the winding core portion, electrode portions provided in the flange portions, a wire wound around the winding core portion, and a magnetic plate fixed to the flange portions. The magnetic plate includes an annular first planar portion, a second planar portion that is located inside the inner circumference of the first planar portion and has a step between the first and the second planar portions, and a connection surface portion connecting the inner circumference of the first planar portion to the outer circumference of the second planar portion. The connection surface portion is configured by annularly disposing at least three slopes inclined with respect to the direction orthogonal to the first planar portion and has chamfered portions each being disposed between adjacent slopes.

Coil component

An inductor includes an external terminal and an element body that includes a magnetic portion containing a magnetic powder and a coil embedded in the magnetic portion. The magnetic powder has a particle size D50 at 50% of the cumulative volume of 5 μm or less, a D90/D10 of 19 or lower, and a Vickers hardness of 1000 (kgf/mm) or lower, the D90/D10 being the ratio of particle size D90 at 90% of the cumulative volume to particle size D10 at 10% of the cumulative volume in the cumulative particle size distribution by volume. In the magnetic portion, the packing density of the magnetic powder by volume is 60% or higher.

Inductor and method for producing the same

A surface mount inductor includes a molded body made of a composite material containing magnetic powder, and a metal plate including a first metal plate portion embedded in the molded body and a second metal plate portion extending from the first metal plate portion to an outside of the molded body. The second metal plate portion is extended from a side surface or mounting surface side of the molded body, is arranged along the molded body with a bent portion, and forms an external terminal arranged at least on the mounting surface side of the molded body. The external terminal includes a plating layer on a surface on an opposite side from a surface facing the molded body, and does not include a plating layer on the surface facing the molded body.

Surface mount inductor

A surface mount inductor includes a molded body made of a composite material containing a magnetic powder, and a metal plate including a first metal plate portion that is buried in the molded body and second metal plate portions that extend from the first metal plate portion to outside the molded body. The second metal plate portions each include a first bent portion that extends from a side surface of the molded body and is bent in a direction that intersects the mounting surface and a second bent portion that is bent from the direction that intersects the mounting surface toward a side surface the molded body. The second metal plate portions extend along the molded body onto the mounting surface and form an external terminal. An internal angle of each first bent portion is formed so as to be an obtuse angle.

Surface mount inductor and manufacturing method therefor

An inductor includes a main body having a bottom surface, a top surface positioned opposite to the bottom surface, four side surfaces connected to the bottom surface and the top surface, a metal body that includes a first metal portion buried in the main body and second metal portions extending outward from respective opposite longitudinal ends of the first metal portion. The second metal portions are exposed from respective opposite side surfaces of the main body. In the inductor, each second metal portion is formed into a tabular shape having a first surface with a plating layer and a second surface positioned opposite to the first surface. Each second metal portion is formed into an external terminal and includes a first bend and a second bend that are formed by bending the second metal portion.

Inductor

A surface-mount inductor includes a molded body and a metallic plate. The metallic plate has a first metallic plate portion embedded in the molded body such that an extension direction and a width direction thereof are parallel to the mounting surface; second metallic plate portions extending from both end portions, in the extension direction, of the first metallic plate portion to a bottom surface of the molded body in a direction to the mounting surface; and third metallic plate portions disposed to extend from the second metallic plate portions along the bottom surface of the molded body and be separated from side surfaces adjacent to the bottom surface of the molded body. Each of the third metallic plate portions has at least a surface exposed from the molded body. End portions of the metallic plate are embedded to be separated from the side surfaces of the molded body.
