  • Patent number: 7471179
    Abstract: Each terminal electrode has a welded portion at which each end portion of a conducting wire is electrically connected to each terminal electrode upon laser welding. The conducting wire is provided with an insulation coating. The insulation layer has an edge on the surface of the conducting wire. Each welded portion has a bulge portion bulging in a direction away from the core and in contact with only the edge of the insulation coating. The edge determines a shape position and size of a melted bulge portion.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 14, 2007
    Date of Patent: December 30, 2008
    Assignee: TDK Corporation

  • Patent number: 7411478
    Abstract: A coil component including a connection part not excessively welded to a terminal electrode. End portion of a conducting wire of a common mode filter is laser-welded, while being held by a holding piece and a surface of the terminal electrode. A portion melted by laser-welding includes a bulge portion which bulges in a direction away from a core. There is provided a lower insulation covering portion between a foundation and the portion corresponding to the end portion of the conducting wire. For the bulge portion, the lower insulation covering portion is provided only between the foundation and the portion corresponding to the end portion of the conducting wire, thereby preventing excessive welding to a terminal electrode.

  • Patent number: 6617948
    Abstract: A coil component is provided which includes a pot core having a bottom in which through holes are formed, a composite coil retained in the pot core, and a cover core joined to the rim of the pot core. The coil has terminals inserted in the through holes to such an extent that the lower ends thereof do not protrude beyond the bottom, the bottom having membrane external electrodes formed on the outer surface thereof and connected with the terminals. The composite coil comprises an inner coil wound around an inner leg of the pot core and an outer coil wound around the inner coil with a gap formed between the inner and outer coils so as to make larger the length of the outer coil than the case where the outer coil is directly wound around the inner coil.
