  • Publication number: 20180374618
    Abstract: A composite material molded article that includes soft magnetic powder; and resin containing the soft magnetic powder in a dispersed state, wherein when the composite material molded article is divided into nine portions in total such that, out of surfaces of the composite material molded article, an interlinkage surface that intersects a magnetic flux excited in the composite material molded article is equally divided into three portions in a vertical direction and three portions in a horizontal direction, in these portions, a density decrease ratio Dd of a density of a portion having a minimum density Dmin to a density of a portion having a maximum density Dmax, namely {(Dmax?Dmin)/Dmax}×100, is 1.2% or less.

  • Patent number: 10147536
    Abstract: Provided is a reactor that can be manufactured without holding an assembly when the assembly is fixed to a mounting plate via a bonding layer. The reactor includes a coil, a magnetic core, an interposed insulating member, a metal mounting plate, and a bonding layer. The interposed insulating member is provided with an inwardly interposed portion, a first interposed end face portion, and a second interposed end face portion. The interposed insulating member is obtained by combining a plurality of divided pieces that includes a divided piece having the first interposed end face portion, and a divided piece having the second interposed end face portion. The divided pieces are respectively provided with engaging portions that engage with each other, and the first interposed end face portion and the second interposed end face portion are each provided with a leg piece that separates the coil from the mounting plate.

  • Publication number: 20180315528
    Abstract: Provided is soft magnetic powder constituted by an Fe alloy containing Si, in which soft magnetic particles of the soft magnetic powder include a SiO2 layer formed on a surface of the particles, and a surface layer formed directly on the SiO2 layer. The surface layer includes a first material that constitutes a matrix and a second material that is dispersed in the matrix. The first material is silicone or phosphate, and the second material is silicone or phosphate and is different from the first material.

  • Publication number: 20180240578
    Abstract: Provided is a composite material molded article including soft magnetic powder and resin containing the soft magnetic powder in a dispersed state. The composite material molded article includes a parting line corresponding to a parting surface of a mold for molding the composite material molded article, and an inner core portion to be arranged inside a coil. A peripheral surface includes surfaces along a circumferential direction of a magnetic flux excited in the inner core portion by the coil, and the parting line is formed to split a peripheral direction of the peripheral surface.

  • Publication number: 20180190421
    Abstract: A reactor including: a coil that includes a winding portion; a magnetic core that includes an inner core portion that is located inside the winding portion and an outer core portion that is located outside the winding portion; an inner interposed member that is interposed between an inner surface of the winding portion and the inner core portion; and an end surface interposed member that is interposed between an end surface of the winding portion and the outer core portion. The inner interposed member is provided with first positioning portions that engage with the end surface interposed member and are located so as to respectively face a first pair of surfaces of the outer core portion to position the outer core portion, the first pair of surfaces being composed of a pair of surfaces that face each other.
