  • Publication number: 20230230738
    Abstract: A coil component includes an element body, a coil and a first electrode part. The element body includes a main surface which is used as a mounting surface. The coil is disposed in the element body. The first electrode part is embedded in the element body and electrically connected to the coil. The first electrode part includes a first surface exposed from the main surface and a second surface opposing the first surface. An area of the first surface is larger than an area of the second surface when viewed from a direction orthogonal to the first surface.

  • Publication number: 20230223183
    Abstract: The coil component includes an element body, a coil, a first electrode part and a second electrode part. The element body includes a main surface to be used as a mounting surface. The coil is disposed in the element body. The first electrode part and the second electrode part are spaced apart from each other in a first direction, embedded in the element body in such a way as to be exposed from the main surface, and electrically connected to the coil. The first electrode part includes a first surface exposed from the main surface and a protrusion disposed in the element body in such a way as to be spaced apart from the main surface. The protrusion protrudes more toward the second electrode part than the first surface in the first direction.

  • Patent number: 11631530
    Abstract: A multilayer coil component includes an element body and a plurality of coil conductors. The element body includes a plurality of metal magnetic particles and resin existing between the plurality of metal magnetic particles. The plurality of coil conductors is disposed in the element body, the plurality of coil conductors being separated from each other in a predetermined direction and electrically connected to each other. The plurality of metal magnetic particles included in the element body includes a plurality of metal magnetic particles having a particle size equal to or greater than one third of a distance between the coil conductors adjacent to each other in the predetermined direction and equal to or less than a half of the distance. Between the coil conductors adjacent to each other in the predetermined direction, the metal magnetic particles having the particle size are distributed along the predetermined direction.
