  • Publication number: 20240096533
    Abstract: The coil component includes a coil, a first core having a first magnetic permeability, and a second core having a second magnetic permeability lower than the first magnetic permeability. The first core and the second core form a magnetic path. The coil forms two or more winding windows. The first core contacts with an entirety of one side line extending in a second direction of each of the winding windows, and protrudes from both ends of one side line of at least one of the winding windows. The second core contacts with three side lines other than the one side line of each of the winding windows. A surface resistance of the first core between two points that are 20 mm away from each other is not less than 5 ? after a high-temperature storage test. A drive frequency of the coil component is not less than 20 kHz.

  • Publication number: 20230386734
    Abstract: A reactor includes a coil having a winding part, a holding member, and a magnetic core. The winding part is partially buried inside the holding member, and has an upper exposed part and a lower exposed part exposed from the holding member in the vertical direction (Z direction). The upper exposed part has an upper curved surface part. The upper curved surface part is exposed from the holding member at both sides in the horizontal direction (Y direction). The magnetic core has two outer legs. The winding part is positioned between the two outer legs in the horizontal direction. The holding member has two side walls corresponding to each of the outer legs. Each of the side walls is positioned between the corresponding outer leg and the winding part in the horizontal direction.

  • Patent number: 6181130
    Abstract: A magnetic sensor includes a bobbin having one surface provided with a toroidal groove, and a toroidal inductor accommodated in the groove. The toroidal inductor has a toroidal core and an excitation coil wound on the toroidal core. The excitation coil has a conductive pattern of a plurality of thin-film linear conductors individually extending in a radial direction on a surface of the bobbin and on inner side and bottom surfaces of the toroidal groove with a predetermined angular space, a toroidal core received in the groove, and a plurality of connecting wires each of which is bridged over the toroidal groove and toroidal core to interconnect an inner end of one of the thin-film linear conductors and an outer end of a next adjacent one of the thin-film linear conductors. The conductive pattern and the connecting wires form the excitation coil wound around the toroidal core. Thus, the toroidal inductor is formed in the toroidal groove.
