  • Publication number: 20230326662
    Abstract: A laminated coil component includes an element body formed by laminating insulating layers in a lamination direction, a coil inside the body, and an external electrode on a surface of the body and electrically connected to the coil. The coil includes coil conductors laminated in the lamination direction and electrically connected via a via conductor penetrating the insulating layer in the lamination direction. The coil conductors include a laminated portion including adjacent coil conductors. The laminated portion has a parallel section in which all the coil conductors constituting the laminated portion overlap each other when viewed from the lamination direction. The parallel sections are connected in parallel by the via conductor. The coil is electrically connected to the same external electrode via lead-out conductors, each including a lead-out via conductor having a diameter of 100 µm or less and penetrating the insulating layer in the lamination direction.

  • Publication number: 20230317361
    Abstract: An electronic component includes an insulator portion in which insulating layers are laminated; inner conductors each having a strip shape and embedded in the insulator portion; and first and second external electrodes which face an outer surface of the insulator portion and are electrically connected to the inner conductors. Also, from 3 to 5 of the inner conductors are provided and the inner conductors being laminated with the insulating layers interposed therebetween, a total sectional area of the inner conductors is from 0.1 mm2 to 0.5 mm2, and when a thickness and a width of the inner conductor are designated as t1 and w4, respectively, a distance between the inner conductors is designated as t2, t1/w4 is designated as x, and t2/t1 is designated as y. When the number of the inner conductors is 3, (x,y) is a region surrounded by A(0.051,1.0), B(0.051,5.9), C(0.2,5.9), D(0.2,4.4), and E(0.1,1.4).

  • Publication number: 20230317362
    Abstract: An electronic component includes an insulator portion in which insulating layers are laminated; inner conductors each having a strip shape and embedded in the insulator portion; and first and second external electrodes which face an outer surface of the insulator portion and are electrically connected to the inner conductors. The insulator portion has upper and lower surfaces facing each other, first and second end surfaces facing each other, and first and second side surfaces facing each other. Each of the inner conductors has a first main surface which is a main surface on the upper surface side and a second main surface which is a main surface on the lower surface side. The inner conductors are laminated with the insulating layers interposed therebetween. Each inner conductor has a line portion and a first extended portion and a second extended portion located at both ends of the line portion.
