  • Publication number: 20230352234
    Abstract: A coil component includes: a magnetic element body made of resin containing conductive magnetic powder; a coil part 20 obtained by alternately stacking a plurality of conductor layers and a plurality of interlayer insulating layers, the plurality of conductor layers respectively including coil conductor patterns embedded in the magnetic element body and electrode patterns exposed from the magnetic element body; external terminals provided respectively on the electrode patterns and electrode patterns; and a protective insulating layer covering the magnetic element body in such a manner as to expose the external terminals therethrough. The magnetic element body is thus covered with the protective insulating layer, so that it is possible to prevent adhesion of plating to an unnecessary portion and exposure of the coil conductor patterns even when the surfaces of the external terminals are subjected to electrolytic plating.

  • Publication number: 20230238170
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a coil component that includes: a coil part having a structure in which alternately stacking a plurality of conductor layers each including a spiral coil pattern and a plurality of insulating layers; a first magnetic layer disposed in an inner diameter area of the coil part, in an outside area of the coil part, and on one side in an axial direction of the coil part; and a second magnetic layer disposed on other side in the axial direction of the coil part. Each of the first and second magnetic layers comprises a composite magnetic material containing magnetic fillers and binder resin. The content of the magnetic filers in the first magnetic layer is higher than the content of the magnetic fillers in the second magnetic layer.

  • Publication number: 20210280353
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a coil component that includes a a coil area in which first to third coil patterns are disposed and a terminal area positioned outside the coil area. The outer peripheral end of the first coil pattern is connected to the first terminal electrode. The inner peripheral end of the first coil pattern is connected to an inner peripheral end of the second coil pattern. The outer peripheral end of the second coil pattern is connected to an outer peripheral end of the third coil pattern. A via conductor connecting the outer peripheral ends of the second and third coil patterns is disposed at a position overlapping the terminal area.
