  • Patent number: 11929201
    Abstract: A surface mount inductor includes a coil including a wound portion and a feeder end portion drawn out from the wound portion, a compact that contains a magnetic powder and that encapsulates the coil, and an external terminal disposed on the compact and connected to the coil. The compact has surfaces including two pressed surfaces, opposing each other in a direction of an axis of the wound portion and formed by being pressed in the direction of the axis, and a non-pressed surface, adjacent to the two surfaces and not pressed. The coil is disposed so that the axis of the wound portion is parallel to a mount surface of the compact. The mount surface is included in the non-pressed surface, the feeder end portion is exposed from the mount surface, and the external terminal is formed on only the non-pressed surface and connected to the feeder end portion.

  • Patent number: 10731491
    Abstract: Bolt holes 16 are formed in a joint part 14 of a turbine housing 12, with flanged bolts 40 screwed in the bolt holes 16. A flange part 32 of a bearing housing 30 is sandwiched between bearing surfaces 44a of the flanged bolts 40 and an inner end face 14b of the joint part 14. A sealing ring 48 is interposed in an annular space s. Before the flanged bolts 40 are fastened, there is formed a height difference G equivalent to a compression allowance h for the sealing ring 48, between an outer end face 60a of the joint part 14 and a bolt receiving surface 32a of the flange part 32. The flanged bolts 40 are screwed into the bolt holes 16 until the bearing surfaces 44a make tight contact with the outer end face 60a so as to resiliently deform the sealing ring 48.
