  • Patent number: 11043329
    Abstract: In a planar coil element, a dead space in a non-overlapping region is reduced by designing a total width of a first resin wall and a first turn located in the non-overlapping region to be narrow, more specifically, by designing the total width to be narrower than a total width of a second turn outside the first turn and a second resin wall located inside the turn and also than a total width of a third turn on the outer side and a third resin wall located inside the turn. As a result, a volume of a magnetic element body in a magnetic core portion of a coil can be increased, and an, inductance value, which is a magnetic characteristic, can also be improved.

  • Patent number: 10847312
    Abstract: In a planar coil element, since an overlapping portion of a fourth resin wall of a first conductor pattern protrudes from an end surface of a main body portion, restriction on a width of the overlapping portion is relaxed, and the wide overlapping portion is realized. Therefore, an improvement in a withstand voltage between the second external terminal electrode formed on the end surface and an outermost turn of the first conductor pattern is realized. Similarly, regarding the second conductor pattern, the improvement in the withstand voltage between the first external terminal electrode formed on the end surface and an outermost turn of the second conductor pattern is realized.
