  • Publication number: 20240145149
    Abstract: An inductor component includes an element body, a plurality of inductor wires, a plurality of columnar wires, and a plurality of outer electrodes. The plurality of inductor wires include a first inductor wire and a second inductor wire. The plurality of columnar wires include a plurality of first columnar wires and a plurality of second columnar wires. The plurality of outer electrodes include a plurality of first outer electrodes connected to the first columnar wires and a plurality of second outer electrodes connected to the second columnar wires. When viewed transparently in a direction orthogonal to a first principal surface, the first inductor wire has a portion overlapping the second outer electrodes.

  • Publication number: 20240145157
    Abstract: An inductor component includes an element body, a plurality of inductor wires, a plurality of columnar wires, and outer electrodes. The element body has a first principal surface. An axis parallel to the first principal surface is a first axis. Each inductor wire has a wire body, a first end pad connected to a first end of the wire body and having a large wire width relative to the wire body, and a second end pad connected to a second end of the wire body and having a large wire width relative to the wire body. Geometric centers of the first end pads of the inductor wires are on a single line that is parallel to the first axis. At least one of geometric centers of the second end pads of the inductor wires is not on a single line that is parallel to the first axis.

  • Publication number: 20240145148
    Abstract: An inductor component includes an element body. The element body includes an inductor wire extending parallel to a first principal surface of the element body, columnar wires extending in a direction intersecting the first principal surface, and outer electrodes. Each inductor wire has a wire body, a first end pad connected to a first end of the wire body, and a second end pad connected to a second end of the wire body. The first and second end pads each have a large wire width relative to the wire body. The inductor wires include first and second inductor wires. When viewed transparently in a direction orthogonal to the first principal surface, at least one of a size and shape of the second end pad of the first inductor wire differs from at least one of a size and shape of the second end pad of the second inductor wire.

  • Publication number: 20240145175
    Abstract: A passive component includes an inorganic substrate having a first main surface and a second main surface, which are opposed to each other, and contains a semiconductor material; and a passive element portion on the first main surface of the inorganic substrate so as to be in contact with the first main surface. When a cross section in a plane that passes through a center of gravity in a whole of the first main surface and is orthogonal to the first main surface is defined as a first cross section, in the first cross section, the inorganic substrate has a first side surface and a second side surface, which are connected with the first main surface and opposed to each other, and each of line roughness of the first side surface and line roughness of the second side surface is larger than line roughness of the first main surface.

  • Publication number: 20240145150
    Abstract: An inductor component includes an element body. The element body includes an inductor wire extending parallel to a first principal surface of the element body, a plurality of columnar wires extending in a direction intersecting the first principal surface, and a plurality of outer electrodes exposed from the first principal surface. When viewed transparently in a direction orthogonal to the first principal surface, a first vector extending from a geometric center of at least one selected from a plurality of first-end columnar wires toward a geometric center of a first outer electrode connected to the first columnar wire is different from a second vector extending from a geometric center of at least one selected from a plurality of second-end columnar wires toward a geometric center of a second outer electrode connected to the second columnar wire.

  • Publication number: 20240145161
    Abstract: An inductor component includes an element body, an inductor wire, and a plurality of columnar wires. The element body has a first principal surface. The inductor wire extends parallel to the first principal surface within the element body. Each columnar wire is connected to an end of the inductor wire and extends in a direction orthogonal to the first principal surface. The plurality of columnar wires are exposed from the element body at the first principal surface. A minimum distance from the first principal surface to the inductor wire is larger than or equal to 0.04 mm.
