  • Publication number: 20250132083
    Abstract: A laminated coil component includes a multilayer body in which a coil, which is obtained by electrically connecting a plurality of coil conductors with a via conductor interposed therebetween, is provided in an inside of an insulator portion which is obtained by laminating a plurality of insulation layers. Each of a first coil conductor and a second coil conductor that are adjacent to each other in a lamination direction and are electrically connected in series with a first via conductor interposed therebetween includes a first main surface that faces the opposite direction to the lamination direction and on which a void exists. The second coil conductor includes a second main surface that faces the lamination direction and on which another void exists, and the other void locally exists on a position opposed to the first via conductor.
