  • Publication number: 20230170129
    Abstract: A coil component includes a core having first and second flange portions, and a top plate. Convex first and second spacer portions are in a lower main surface of the top plate that faces the first and second flange portions and are in contact with top surfaces of the first and second flange portions to form gaps between the top surfaces of the flange portions and the lower main surface of the top plate. A stage portion is in a region of the lower main surface of the top plate that faces the winding core portion of the core, and the first and second spacer portions are connected to each other via the stage portion. The spacer portions and the stage portion form a convex portion having a relatively large area to prevent the spacer portions from being scraped and damaged in a polishing process for deburring or chamfering.
