Abstract: A coil component includes a first wire wound to form a first layer in a direction from a first end toward a second end, and a second wire wound around the first wire to form a second layer in the direction from the first end toward the second end while turns of the second wire fit in recesses formed between adjacent turns of the first wire. The second wire subsequently turns back from the end positioned closer to the second end toward the first end and extends to an outer side of the second layer. Then, the second wire is wound around the second layer to form a third layer while turns of the second wire fit in recesses formed between adjacent turns of the second wire in the second layer. The second wire subsequently extends to the second layer on the outer side of the first layer.
