  • Publication number: 20240145158
    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.

    Abstract: To suppress a decrease in mounting strength of a coil component, a coil component includes a drum core including a winding core portion, and first and second flange portions. The coil component includes a first metal terminal which includes a bonding portion, a connecting portion, and a mounting portion. The bonding portion is bonded to the first flange portion with an adhesive. The mounting portion is closest to the first positive direction side in the first metal terminal and is separated from the first flange portion toward the first positive direction side. The connecting portion connects the bonding and mounting portions. The first flange portion has a facing surface that faces the mounting portion, a bonding surface, and a first inclined surface between the facing and bonding surfaces. The distance from the facing surface increases in a direction parallel to the first axis toward the bonding surface.

  • Publication number: 20230368965
    Abstract: A coil component includes a drum core including a winding core portion, first and second flange portions, a first metal terminal attached to the first flange portion, and a first wire. The first flange portion is connected to a first end of the winding core portion in a direction along a central axis of the winding core portion. A first connection end of the first wire is joined to the first metal terminal. When viewed in a direction orthogonal to both a first positive direction and the inward direction, an acute angle formed by a virtual straight line parallel to the central axis and a tangent at an end of an inclined surface of the first metal terminal in the inward direction is larger than an acute angle formed by a virtual straight line and a tangent at an end of the inclined surface in the outward direction.

  • Publication number: 20230215619
    Abstract: A coil component includes a core including a winding core portion and flange portions; wires wound around the winding core portion; and terminal electrodes on the respective flange portions. The wires respectively have flattened portions connected to the terminal electrodes. The flattened portions each have a shape that becomes thinner from the winding core portion toward a tip end of a corresponding one of the wires. When viewed from a side where mounting surfaces are located, a center axis of a part of each of the flattened portions closer to the winding core portion and a center axis of a part of a corresponding one of the flattened portions closer to the tip end extend in different directions. The center axis of the part of each of the flattened portions closer to the tip end extends in a direction parallel to an axial direction.

  • Publication number: 20230036007
    Abstract: A coil component has a structure capable of suppressing disconnection of a center wire material of a wire and reducing inconvenience due to deterioration of an insulating film. A slope is provided at a boundary portion between a mounting surface and an inner end face of a flange portion. A terminal electrode includes a first electrode portion provided along the mounting surface, and a second electrode portion provided along the slope so as to extend from a first electrode portion to the middle of the slope. A wire is electrically and mechanically connected in both the first electrode portion and the second electrode portion. A diameter of the wire on a winding core portion is larger than a dimension of the second electrode portion in a height direction, but a dimension of the slope in a depth direction is larger than the diameter of the wire.

  • Publication number: 20220328239
    Abstract: In a coil component, a first end of a wire is connected to a first terminal electrode. Part of the wire extends in a spiral shape around a peripheral surface of a winding core portion with a center axis as an axis of helix. A region of the wire from a first point at which the wire is connected to the first terminal electrode to a second point at which the wire has been wound through one turn around the center axis is referred to as a first wire range. Within the first wire range, the wire has a first connection point at which the wire is connected to a top plate via adhesive. The wire is separated from the peripheral surface of the winding core portion at the first connection point.
