Abstract
A surface-mount inductor comprises a molded body containing a metal magnetic powder; at least one coil buried in the molded body such that lead-out end parts at both ends of the coil are at least partially exposed on a surface of the molded body; and an external terminal formed over an exposed surface of each of the lead-out end parts. A metal magnetic powder exposed portion is formed at least around the exposed surface. The external terminal at least includes a first plating layer formed over the metal magnetic powder exposed portion and the exposed surface of the lead-out end part, and a conductive paste layer formed on the first plating layer and made of a solidified conductive paste. Consequently, the surface mount inductor comprises an external terminal having high connection reliability.
