A composite inductor includes a block made of resin or rubber having a magnetic material dispersed therein. Spirally wound coils are buried in the block so that the coil axes of the coils are arranged in the same direction. The end portions of the coils are electrically connected to external electrodes provided on two surfaces of the block substantially at a right angle to the axes of the coils.

Composite inductor element

An inductor is constructed to achieve efficient formation of external electrodes, and exhibits high reliability of connection between the external electrodes and an internal conductor, and desired characteristics. In the method of manufacturing the inductor, a magnetic material formed by kneading a magnetic material and a resin is molded to form a magnetic material compact body in which the internal conductor is partially exposed from the external surface thereof, and then the surface of the magnetic material compact body is plated to form the external electrodes including a plated metal film and connected to the internal conductor. The surface of the magnetic material compact body is roughened, and then the external electrodes are formed via plating.

A method of manufacturing an inductor includes the step of molding a magnetic material formed by kneading a magnetic material and a resin to form a magnetic material compact body in which the internal conductor is partially exposed from the external surface thereof. Then the surface of the magnetic material compact body is plated to form the external electrodes including a plated metal film and connected to the internal conductor. The surface of the magnetic material compact body is roughened, and then the external electrodes are formed via plating.

Method of manufacturing an inductor

An method of manufacturing an inductor having a large current capacity which includes a magnetic sintered body formed via wet pressing treatment and a coil assembly disposed within the magnetic sintered body. The coil assembly is defined by a substantially cylindrical magnetic core member which is wound by a coil. Both ends of the coil of the coil assembly are respectively and electrically connected to an input electrode and an output electrode which are respectively disposed on two mutually facing end surfaces of the magnetic sintered body.

Methods of manufacturing inductors

Organic thermistor devices are produced by a first step of molding an organic thermistor material by covering a plurality of electrically conductive members to form a conductor-containing member, which is elongated in a longitudinal direction, has a pair of mutually oppositely facing side surfaces, having the conductive plates buried parallel to one another inside the organic thermistor material, each mutually adjacent pair of these conductive members being externally exposed on different ones of the side surfaces, a second step of forming a pair of electrodes elongated in the longitudinal direction on the side surfaces of the conductor-containing member, and a third step of thereafter cutting this conductor-containing member transversely at specified positions so as to divide into individual units.

Method of producing organic thermistor devices

A method of producing a bead inductor includes the steps of forming an outer portion outside of a conductor coil, and forming a molded body with the conductor coil embedded therein. The outer portion is formed outside of the conductor coil by disposing the conductor coil in a cavity defined by first and second mold portions, with first and second gates formed in the first mold portion, inserting first and second spacer pin portions, which define a spacer pin which passes through the conductor coil and extends to and closes the second gate, and supplying material containing magnetic powder into the mold cavity from the first gate. The molded body is formed by closing the first gate after the formation of the outer portion, and supplying from the second gate material containing magnetic powder into a space formed by removing the spacer pin portions.

Apparatus for manufacturing bead inductor

A bead inductor includes a conductor coil defined by a wound, coated metallic wire, and an insulation coating which is removed on both end portions thereof. The conductor coil is embedded in a molded body with the end portions of the conductor coil being exposed at both end portions of the molded body. External terminals are attached to end portions of the conductor coil at both ends of the molded body so that the external terminals are electrically connected to the end portions of the conductor coil.

Bead inductor

A bead inductor with reliable electrical characteristics and which is constructed so as to be easily mass produced includes a substantially rectangular-parallelepiped core. The core includes an axial portion and an outer peripheral portion, and a coil is formed by winding a metal wire around the axial portion. The axial portion includes a central portion and a peripheral portion. A high strength material is used for the central portion. Metal caps are disposed on both ends of the core. The caps and the coil are connected electrically. In addition, the central portion of the axial portion may be a cavity.

Method of manufacturing bead inductor

A method for efficiently and economically manufacturing an inductor using a resin based magnetic material, and a highly reliable inductor that is manufactured by the method, produces a unique inductor including a molded magnetic material member. An inner conductor is disposed in the molded magnetic material member and is exposed at a surface of the molded magnetic material member. The molded magnetic material member is formed using the resin based magnetic material in which a component that functions as nuclei for applying electroless plating is blended, followed by forming a selectively coated molded body so that the area not provided with external electrodes on the surface of the molded magnetic material member is covered with an insulating resin and applying electroless plating on the molded magnetic material member (selectively coated molded body), thereby eliminating use of a resist agent that is required in the conventional manufacturing method, as well as a resist agent removing step with an alkali and solvent and a removing step of the electroless plating film with an acid, by forming the electroless plating film as the external electrodes on the desired area.

Inductor and manufacturing method thereof

A method of manufacturing a bead inductor prevents deformation of a metal coil or dislocation of the axis position of the metal coil caused by injection pressure at the time of injecting a molten resin material from a gate. A coil is fitted onto a coil supporting pin provided on a first lower mold used for injection molding in a cavity of the mold such that the inner periphery of the coil is in close contact with the coil supporting pin. A molten, resin material is injected into the cavity. Then, the coil supporting pin and the first lower mold are removed from the molded product, and a second lower mold without a coil supporting pin is provided for replacing the first lower mold. A molten resin material is injected into the space which had been occupied by the coil supporting pin. After removing the hardened resin molded product from the mold for injection molding, the end parts of the coil are cut so as to be exposed.

Method of manufacturing inductor

An organic thermistor device has a pair of outer electrodes formed facing each other on end parts of a thermistor body made of an organic thermistor material. Metallic wires extend inside and through the thermistor body transversely to the direction in which the outer electrodes face each other such that the resistance value at normal temperatures of the device can be significantly reduced. Both exposed surfaces of the thermistor body not covered by the outer electrodes and exposed end surfaces of the metallic wires not covered by the thermistor body may be all covered by an electrically insulating layer. To produce such organic thermistor devices, an elongated wire-containing member is prepared by molding an organic thermistor material by covering metallic wires extending longitudinally parallel to one another. It is then entirely covered with an electrically insulating material but portions of it are removed from a pair of longitudinally continuous external peripheral surface areas. Outer electrodes are thereafter formed on this pair of surface areas and the wire-containing member is then cut transversely to the direction of its elongation at specified positions to divide into individual elements. The newly exposed surfaces of these individual elements by cutting may be covered by an electrically insulating material.
