  • Publication number: 20260213068
    Abstract: Coil component 100A includes coil portion 10 including spiral-shaped first spiral conductor 11 viewed in first direction (Z1-Z2); main body 30 containing magnetic powder, covering while contacting the coil portion by exposing two ends of coil portion 10; discrete conductor 400 partially embedded in main body 30 and spaced from coil portion 10; and paired external electrodes (first and second terminal members 41, 42) exposed from main body 30, contacting ends of coil portion 10, and electrically connected through coil portion 10. When one surface along first direction (Z1-Z2) shared with first spiral conductor 11 is defined as first surface, discrete conductor 400 includes first discrete conductor 401 having first exposed surface 401a exposed from main body 30 in in-plane direction of the first surface. First discrete conductor 401 contacts one of the paired external electrodes (first or second terminal member 41, 42) at first exposed surface 401a.

  • Publication number: 20260142067
    Abstract: A coil component has a portion connecting external electrodes to a coil and exhibits excellent electrical properties. The coil component includes: a coil conductor portion having a first spiral conductor portion that has a spiral shape when viewed in a first direction (Z1-Z2 direction), and a first connecting conductor portion that has a first protrusion part protruding further than the first spiral conductor portion to at least one side in the first direction and contacts one of two end parts of the first spiral conductor portion; and a main body portion that covers the first spiral conductor portion with two intersecting surfaces arranged alongside in the first direction and contains magnetic powder. The first connecting conductor portion has a first exposed region exposed from the main body portion, and the first protrusion part has a portion formed by a continuous body extending in the first direction.

  • Publication number: 20260038732
    Abstract: A coil component exhibiting excellent electric properties even when miniaturized is provided. It includes a coil member, which includes first and second spiral conductor portions aligned in a first direction, and a first insulator portion. The first insulator portion includes a portion contacting a first back counterpart, a portion contacting a second back counterpart, a portion contacting a side part of the first spiral conductive part in the spiral direction, and a portion contacting a side part of the second spiral conductive part in the spiral direction. The first insulating part includes a first connection part, which connects a portion in contact with a side part of a first turn included in the first spiral conductor portion to a portion in contact with a side part of a second turn, which is nearest to the side part of the first turn, in the second spiral conductor portion.

  • Patent number: 8698025
    Abstract: An input device includes a first transparent substrate, a first transparent electrode layer for detecting change of a capacitance value, and a first drawn wiring layer electrically connected to an end of the first transparent electrode layer. The first transparent electrode layer is formed on an input region of the first transparent substrate, and the first drawn wiring layer is formed on a non-input region surrounding the input region. The first transparent electrode layer and the first drawn wiring layer are connected to each other through a first pad portion for connection, and a second pad portion for electrical property inspection is electrically connected to the other end of the first transparent electrode layer.

  • Publication number: 20080199331
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure may include a piezoelectric pump having: a piezoelectric vibrator including a main shim that may be formed of a conductive thin metal plate and a piezoelectric element layer that may be formed on the main shim; and a pair of ring-shaped support members that may support front and rear sides of a circumferential portion of the piezoelectric vibrator such that a pump chamber and an air chamber formed on the front and rear sides of the piezoelectric vibrator may be fluid-tightly sealed. The ring-shaped support members may support both sides of a circumferential portion of the piezoelectric element layer of the piezoelectric vibrator, and the piezoelectric vibrator may be vibrated to perform a pumping operation.
