Abstract
An inductor includes a body including a magnetic body having a coil embedded therein and containing magnetic powder. The coil has a winding portion in which a conductive wire is wound around and has a pair of lead portions taken out from the winding portion. The inductor also includes a pair of outer electrodes formed on the body. In the inductor, each of the lead portions is exposed from at least one side surface of the magnetic body and is coupled to a corresponding outer electrode. In addition, with respect to a position at which each of the lead portions is exposed from the at least one side surface of the magnetic body, a magnetic powder content in a region closer to one of the principal surfaces is higher than a magnetic powder content in a region closer to the other one of the principal surfaces.
