  • Publication number: 20190198232
    Abstract: In a multilayer coil component, a ferrite element body includes a first element body portion and a second element body portion adjacent to each other in an axial direction of the multilayer coil, in which a dielectric constant of the second element body portion is lower than a dielectric constant of the first element body portion, and a magnetic permeability of the second element body portion is higher than a magnetic permeability of the first element body portion. The inventors newly found that the first element body portion and the second element body portion contribute to coil characteristics when a coil winding portion is provided to extend over the first element body portion and the second element body portion. In the multilayer coil component, desired coil characteristics can be obtained by adjusting proportions of the first element body portion and the second element body portion in the ferrite element body.

  • Publication number: 20190198227
    Abstract: The inventors have newly found that, even when a composition of a first element body portion and a composition of a second element body portion are different from each other, a high bonding strength at an interface between the first element body portion and the second element body portion can be obtained when both the first element body portion and the second element body portion contain Zn2SiO4 as a constituent component. That is, when the first element body portion and the second element body portion contain Zn2SiO4, a bonding strength at the interface is improved compared to a case in which the first element body portion and the second element body portion do not contain Zn2SiO4.

  • Publication number: 20170309389
    Abstract: An electronic component includes: an element body in which a plurality of insulator layers are stacked; a coil in which a plurality of inner conductors installed in the element body are electrically connected to each other; and an outer electrode that is disposed on an outer surface of the element body, is electrically connected to the coil, and includes at least a baked electrode layer. The inner conductor connected to the outer electrode includes a connection conductor that electrically connects the baked electrode layer to the inner conductor. The connection conductor includes a protruding portion that protrudes from the outer surface of the element body to the outer electrode. The protruding portion includes a metal having a smaller diffusion coefficient than a metal of a main component included in the baked electrode layer. The inner conductors have a lower electric resistance value than the metal included in the protruding portion.
