  • Patent number: 11854727
    Abstract: A powder magnetic core with terminal includes: a powder magnetic core composed of Fe-based alloy particles including Fe and an element M (M is Cr and/or Al) which is more easily oxidizable than Fe; and at least two terminals formed at an interval on a surface of the powder magnetic core. The powder magnetic core includes the Fe-based alloy particles, and an underlayer including the element M (M is Cr and/or Al), Fe and O formed on a surface of the Fe-based alloy particles. A first layer including at least one of Cr or Al and O is formed on a surface including a region in which the terminals of the powder magnetic core are formed. The terminals are formed on a surface of the first layer. Each of the terminals includes a second layer including one of Au, Ag, Cu, Ti or Cr.

  • Patent number: 11613101
    Abstract: A magnetic piece, a multilayer magnetic piece and a multilayer core with an adhesive agent of excellent saturation magnetic flux density are provided. The magnetic piece includes a soft magnetic amorphous alloy ribbon 1 and a resin layer 2 provided on at least one surface of the soft magnetic amorphous alloy ribbon. The resin layer contains a resin whose Shore D hardness is not more than 60. The resin may have a Shore D hardness of not more than 25 or may have a Shore D hardness of not less than 1.

  • Patent number: 5618464
    Abstract: A Ni ferrite sintered body comprising 48.0-50.0 mol % of Fe.sub.2 O.sub.3, 14.0-24.0 mol % of NiO and 28.0-36.0 mol % of ZnO with 50 ppm or less of P as an impurity, the sintered body having a minimum core loss of 30 kW/m.sup.3 or less at 50 kHz and 50 mT, and the segregation percentage of P in the crystal structure being 1% or less by area. The Ni ferrite sintered body preferably has an average crystal grain size of 3-30 .mu.m, the percentage of crystal grain particles larger than two times the average crystal grain size being preferably 10% or less based on the total number of the crystal grain particles in a crystal structure.
