  • Publication number: 20240128020
    Abstract: In a method for manufacturing a laminated coil component, in which a laminated coil component is manufactured by laminating insulator sheets in order on which conductors having predetermined patterns are formed, the insulator sheets are laminated such that a distance in a lamination direction between a first lead-out conductor laminated first and a first coil conductor laminated next is larger than a distance in the lamination direction between a second lead-out conductor laminated last and a second coil conductor laminated immediately before the second lead-out conductor.

  • Publication number: 20230402211
    Abstract: A ferrite composition includes a main component and a sub component. The main component includes an iron oxide in terms of Fe2O3, a copper oxide in terms of CuO, a zinc oxide in terms of ZnO, and a nickel oxide as its remainder. The sub component includes a cobalt oxide in terms of Co3O4, a tin oxide in terms of SnO2, and a bismuth oxide in terms of Bi2O3. A is ?3.5 or more and 1.0 or less, provided that A=(??18)/?; is defined, in which ? is an amount of the zinc oxide represented by mol % in terms of ZnO in the main component, and ? is an amount of the cobalt oxide represented by parts by weight in terms of Co3O4 with respect to 100 parts by weight of the main component.

  • Publication number: 20230170117
    Abstract: In a multilayer coil component, a plurality of coil conductors are stacked in a coil axis direction. A connecting conductor connects the coil conductors adjacent to each other in the coil axis direction. First, second, and third coil conductors are arranged in order in the coil axis direction. A main body portion extends in a circumferential direction of the coil axis. Pad portions are connected to the main body portion, are connected to the first coil conductor via the connecting conductor, overhang from the third coil conductor in a direction away from the coil axis when viewed from the coil axis direction, and are inclined with respect to a virtual plane orthogonal to the coil axis direction.

  • Publication number: 20220310316
    Abstract: In the multi-layer coil component, the hole portion is provided in the vicinity of the side surface of the element body, and the distance from the tip position of the external electrode to the hole portion is shorter than the distance from the tip position of the external electrode to the coil. Therefore, when a crack is generated starting from the tip position of the external electrode on the mounting surface, the crack progress toward the hole portion located at a distance closer than the coil. Therefore, in the multi-layer coil component, splitting of the coil due to the crack can be prevented.

  • Patent number: 11189413
    Abstract: First internal conductors are separated from each other in a first direction. Each of the first internal conductors includes a coil portion and a pad portion having a width larger than a width of the coil portion. The pad portions adjacent to each other in the first direction are connected to each other via a through-hole conductor and overlap each other when viewed from the first direction. When viewed from the first direction, each of the coil portions includes a first portion not overlapping the pad portion adjacent in the first direction and a second portion overlapping a part of the pad portion adjacent in the first direction. A second internal conductor is disposed on the same layer as the second portion and is positioned to overlap a portion of the pad portion adjacent in the first direction not overlapping the second portion when viewed from the first direction.
