  • Patent number: 11605486
    Abstract: An inductor includes an integrated preform having a coil installed thereinside. The coil includes extension portions extending from two stages of a spiral wound portion. The integrated preform is formed by bonding together first and second preforms. The first and/or second preform is shaped like a housing including a plate-shaped bottom, a wall provided around the periphery of the bottom portion, and two cut out portions provided in the wall. The extension portions extend to outside the integrated preform via the cut out portions. The difference between a first distance from a reference surface, which is the bottom surface of the bottom of the first or second preform, to a bottom surface of one cut out portion and a second distance from the reference surface to the bottom surface of the other cut out portion is substantially an integer multiple of the width of the flat wire.
