Abstract: A wire-wound type chip coil can take various inductance values while maintaining its outer dimension at a specified fixed value. A chip coil is formed by winding at least two conductive wires regularly in a single layer around a core made of a magnetic material and firmly connecting both ends of each conductive wire to terminal electrodes disposed on respective flanges of the core. This makes it possible to obtain a great current capacity. Furthermore, the inductance decreases because of an increase in the magnetic path length. A great number of different inductance values can be easily obtained by properly selecting parameters including the number of substantially parallel conductive wires, the diameter of each conductive wire, and the number of turns.

Abstract: After an air-core coil has been set inside a molding die, the molding die is filled with a magnetic powder which is coated with at least two types of resin layers. A pure iron powder having an average particle size of about 20 &mgr;m or less is desirable for the magnetic powder. A thermosetting resin is used for the inner resin layer and a thermoplastic resin is used for the outer resin layer of the resin layers of two kinds with which the surface of the magnetic powder is coated. Then, a substantially rectangular molded body in which the air-core coil is embedded is formed by molding the magnetic powder under a molding pressure of about 1 to about 10 tons/cm2. Next, a magnetic body is formed by heat-treatment of the molded body.
