Abstract
A bead inductor has excellent productivity and increased reliability in the connection between an internal conductor and external terminals. A method for manufacturing such a bead inductor includes the steps of forming an internal conductor and the external terminals as an integral, unitary member such that the external terminals are disposed at both ends of the internal conductor and electrically connected thereto; positioning the integral, unitary member in a metallic mold; and molding a resin material or a rubber material including a powdered magnetic substance in the metallic mold so as to embed the internal conductor therein.
