Abstract
A coil component which can secure the insulation and strength of a ferrite core and reserve a winding region sufficiently is provided. By coating a surface of an Mn—Zn-based ferrite core with a glass film, this coil component can secure the insulation between the ferrite core and a terminal electrode. Coating with the glass film also ensures the strength of the ferrite core, thereby inhibiting cracks from occurring in boundary parts between a winding core part and flanges. In the coil component, at least one of the thickness of the glass film covering the surface of the winding core part and the thickness of the glass film covering the inner side face of the flange is smaller than the thickness of the glass film in the remaining part. Thus suppressing the thickness of the glass film on the surface of the winding core part and on the inner side face of the flange can sufficiently secure a winding region M.
