Abstract
A coil component includes a bobbin having a core part and a flange. The flange has a first surface on a first side and a second surface on a second side. The first surface of the flange is attached to an axial end of the core part. An end of a wire is electrically connected to a metallic terminal of a terminal-mounting member disposed on the flange. The flange is formed with a notch at a position near the terminal-mounting member, and the notch extends from a peripheral edge of the flange toward the core part. A segment of the wire near the end thereof extends from the second side to the first side of the flange through the notch and further to the core part, and this segment of the wire is hooked around the wire-supporting member in the notch.
