  • Patent number: 11894174
    Abstract: In a coil component, a height h1 of a pedestal portion of a resin wall corresponds to the height position of a step portion. In addition, a height of a seed portion corresponds to the plating start position at a time when a winding portion of a coil is plated and grown. The plating start position and the step portion are designed to be close to each other by the height h1 of the pedestal portion and the height h2 of the seed portion satisfying 0.3?h1/h2?10. Accordingly, although the coil component has a configuration in which the resin wall has the step portion, the inside of the step portion is sufficiently filled with a coil conductor, and thus deterioration of characteristics is suppressed.
