A first conductor is arranged in a first space which is formed by the middle leg, the first outer leg, part of the body portion, and the second magnetic substance core. A second conductor is arranged in a second space which is formed by the middle leg, the second outer leg, part of the body portion, and the second magnetic substance core. The middle leg is formed with a region which is lower in height than the first outer leg, in the same direction as the longitudinal direction of the first outer leg.
