  • Publication number: 20240170202
    Abstract: To improve a coil component having a structure in which a coil part is embedded in a magnetic member. A coil component includes a coil part embedded in the magnetic members and terminal electrodes each made of a conductive paste. Conductor layers constituting the coil part respectively have coil conductor patterns and electrode patterns exposed from a mounting surface. The terminal electrode has an area provided at a position covering the electrode patterns on the mounting surface and areas provided at positions not covering the electrode patterns on the mounting surface. A part of the area constitutes a protruding part protruding in the x-direction. The terminal electrode thus has the protruding part, thereby making misalignment of mounting position in the z-direction less likely to occur at the time of mounting.

  • Publication number: 20170277986
    Abstract: There is provided an image forming apparatus. A receiving unit receives image data. A plurality of supply units supplies different sizes of recording media. A tray detecting unit detects a supply unit to be set as a supply target from the plurality of supply units. A switching unit, according to the remaining number of recording media accommodated in the supply unit, makes a switch from supply by a supply unit, of the plurality of supply units, accommodating a recording medium of a size required for image formation to supply by another supply unit detected by the tray detecting unit. An adjusting unit adjusts the image data received by the receiving unit to have the same output image size regardless of a switching operation by the switching unit.
