Patent number: 8077003Abstract: A coil component includes a first coil winding wound around a first axis, a second coil winding wound around a second axis and juxtaposed to the first coil winding, a connecting member for electrically connecting second terminals that are one end of the first coil winding and one end of the second coil winding, and a heat conductive member mounted on the connecting member and having electrical insulation properties and heat conductivity. The first and second coil windings are each wound such that magnetic flux is generated by a current flowing through the first and second coil windings to pass through an opening of the first coil winding and through an opening of the second coil winding in an opposite direction to the direction passing the opening of the first coil winding. Accordingly, heat generated in the first and second coil windings is dissipated from the heat conductive member.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2010Date of Patent: December 13, 2011Assignee: TDK CorporationInventor: Akira Ikezawa

Patent number: 8072305Abstract: Primary and secondary coils are provided in the first through section and a coil group is also provided in the second through section. Hence, the surface area over which the coil group extends within a plane which is perpendicular to the through sections is greater than in the case where all of the coils are provided in a single through section. The surface area which is not covered by the magnetic body cores of the platelike members increases. In cases where the surface area of the members is large, the heat radiation characteristic is enhanced. Hence, the cooling efficiency of the transformer improves. In cases where there is a plurality of coil groups which are magnetically coupled to one another in particular, because it is difficult to move the heat produced in the plurality of coil groups through heat conduction, heat transfer, or heat radiation, a heat radiation structure of this kind is effective.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2008Date of Patent: December 6, 2011Assignee: TDK CorporationInventor: Wataru Nakahori
