Abstract
A chip inductor has a magnetic member which is formed by sintering and a coiled conducting wire which is embedded in the magnetic member. The magnetic member has a clearance in each axial end portion thereof such that each terminal end portion of the coiled conducting wire is exposed to an outside of the magnetic member in a linear configuration. An external electrode is formed on each end portion of the magnetic member such that the external electrode penetrates into the clearance into contact with the terminal end portions of the coiled conducting wire.
