The holder includes a first partition disposed between the magnetic core and a first winding wire end of each of the coil conductors, a second partition disposed between the magnetic core and a second winding wire end of each of the coil conductors, and a third partition disposed between the coil conductors. The first to third partitions are integrally formed.

Abstract: A coil component includes a magnetic core that includes a pair of wind portions, a pair of coil conductors where respective conductive wires are wound around the wind portions, and a securing member that has spring properties, includes an upper surface portion, first and second side surface portions, and first and second bottom surface portions, and secures the core while surrounding the core. With the securing member removed from the core, angles formed by the upper surface portion and first side surface portion, the upper surface portion and second side surface portion, the first side surface portion and first bottom surface portion, and the second side surface portion and second bottom surface portion are acute angles. The first and second side surface portions are formed by curved surfaces. The first and second bottom surface portions serve as mounted portions when the coil component is mounted over a mounting board.

Abstract: A winding body and method to avoid short-circuiting due to contact between conductors, and to suppress occurrence of structural defects such as cracks. A continuous thin band is folded at a folding site and wound helically. The folding site has a cutout portion, and folding at the folding site so that a conductor portion overlap another conductor portion causes the cutout portion to be formed into a recessed portion having a larger space than a gap between the conductor portions. A part of the conductor inside the folding site can be stowed in the recessed portion. The continuous thin band has a thickness desirably equal to or less than twice a skin depth with respect to a driving frequency of a coil component.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a coil component that can contribute to prevention of durability degradation of a wire. The method includes winding a plurality of wires, that are supplied from a wire supply source to a nozzle through a tensioner, around a core by revolving the core around the nozzle. Also, during the winding, the core is rotated in a direction same as or opposite to a revolution direction of the core.

Abstract: A load-control type actuator is provided, in which the impact load applied to a workpiece is reduced enabling damages in the workpiece to be small. A load-control-type actuator includes a nozzle which comes into contact with a workpiece, a nozzle holder for supporting the nozzle via a spring, and a voice-coil motor which can control a thrust driving force to the nozzle holder. The spring constant of the spring is set so that the spring reaction force of the spring within the response time of the voice-coil motor is reduced smaller than the maximum impact load when the nozzle touches the workpiece. The nozzle is suspended and supported by the spring and the initial load thereof is set to zero.
