  • Multilayer component having inductive impedance
    Patent number: 6459351
    Abstract: A laminate has a structure in which a plurality of first magnetic substances of a strong permeability, and a plurality of second magnetic substances of a low permeability or non-magnetic substances are laminated. The second magnetic substances are located so an inductance element in each of the first magnetic substances causes magnetic saturation to occur by direct currents of different magnitudes to provide a multilayer inductor having optional direct-current characteristics.
