Abstract: A coil component includes a support member, an internal coil supported by the support member, and external electrodes connected to the internal coil. The external electrodes may each include a first layer coming into contact with the internal coil and a second layer disposed on a surface of the first layer. The first layer may serve as a buffer layer for improving a contact property between the internal coil and the external electrode. The second layer may be disposed to come into at least partial contact with a first end portion of the support member and a second end portion of the support member.

Abstract: An inductor includes a body having a first magnetic portion above and below a coil, and a second magnetic portion above and below the first magnetic portion. The magnetic flux density of the magnetic substance in the first magnetic portion is higher than that of the magnetic substance in the second magnetic portion.

Abstract: A thin film chip electronic component, and more particularly, a thin film power inductor includes a body including a support member including a through hole, an inner coil supported by the support member in a thickness direction, and a magnetic material sealing the support member and the inner coil; and a plurality of external electrodes disposed on an external surface of the body. The inner coil includes a coil body and first and second end portions. Each of the first and second end portions includes a connection portion extending from the coil body and a contact portion extending from the connection portion, the connection portion being a portion that changes a winding direction of the coil body, and the contact portion is directly connected to one of the plurality of external electrodes.
