  • Publication number: 20170032887
    Abstract: An electronic component includes a main body made of an insulator, a circuit element positioned inside the main body, and outer electrodes. The outer electrodes are constituted of bottom surface electrodes and post-like electrodes. The post-like electrodes are extended from a bottom surface of the main body toward the interior of the main body. Further, the post-like electrodes are embedded in the main body, and parts of the post-like electrodes are exposed to side surfaces of the main body. Furthermore, the bottom surface electrodes are made of a resin containing metal powder.

  • Publication number: 20170004918
    Abstract: A coil conductor has a central axis extending in parallel with a mounting surface. The coil conductor disposed inside a component body extends substantially helically by alternately connecting a plurality of circulating conductive layers and a plurality of via hole conductors. The circulating conductive layers each extend so as to form a part of a substantially quadrangular track having a relatively short side and a relatively long side along an interface between the insulating layers. The via hole conductors each penetrate the insulating layer in a thickness direction. The line width of a short side portion of the circulating conductive layer is wider than that of a long side portion of the circulating conductive layer.

  • Publication number: 20160379746
    Abstract: A coil component includes a core with a closed magnetic circuit structure, a primary-side coil wound around the core, and a secondary-side coil wound around the core, disposed in an axial direction of the primary-side coil, and magnetically coupled to the primary-side coil. The primary-side coil and the secondary-side coil each include a first coil portion, and a second coil portion electrically connected to the first coil portion. The second coil portion overlaps in an axial direction of the first coil portion and an axis of the second coil portion is eccentric from an axis of the first coil portion. A cross-sectional area of an inner magnetic path of the second coil portion in a direction orthogonal to the axis is smaller than a cross-sectional area of an inner magnetic path of the first coil portion in a direction orthogonal to the axis.

  • Publication number: 20160099098
    Abstract: An electronic component includes a body and a coil. The body includes first to fourth insulator layers composed of an anisotropic magnetic material, an internal magnetic circuit composed of an isotropic magnetic material and an external magnetic circuit composed of an isotropic magnetic material. The second and third insulator layers cover an upper surface and a lower surface of the coil from a z-axis direction. The internal magnetic circuit and the external magnetic circuit are adjacent to each other in a direction orthogonal to the z-axis direction. In addition, a direction of easy magnetization of the anisotropic magnetic material used in the first to fourth insulator layers is orthogonal to the z-axis direction.

  • Patent number: 8134221
    Abstract: An inductor includes a first air-bridge section and a second air-bridge section. The first air-bridge unit extends in a floating location over a substrate between a plurality of support locations on the substrate. The second air-bridge unit extends in a floating location over the first air-bridge unit between a plurality of support locations on the first air-bridge unit. This arrangement enables the first and second air-bridge sections to be connected in parallel, thus branching a flowing current. Thus, the conductor loss in each of the first and second air-bridge sections is reduced.
