  • Patent number: 6876286
    Abstract: An inductor is constructed to achieve efficient formation of external electrodes, and exhibits high reliability of connection between the external electrodes and an internal conductor, and desired characteristics. In the method of manufacturing the inductor, a magnetic material formed by kneading a magnetic material and a resin is molded to form a magnetic material compact body in which the internal conductor is partially exposed from the external surface thereof, and then the surface of the magnetic material compact body is plated to form the external electrodes including a plated metal film and connected to the internal conductor. The surface of the magnetic material compact body is roughened, and then the external electrodes are formed via plating.

  • Patent number: 6702562
    Abstract: A method of producing a bead inductor includes the steps of forming an outer portion outside of a conductor coil, and forming a molded body with the conductor coil embedded therein. The outer portion is formed outside of the conductor coil by disposing the conductor coil in a cavity defined by first and second mold portions, with first and second gates formed in the first mold portion, inserting first and second spacer pin portions, which define a spacer pin which passes through the conductor coil and extends to and closes the second gate, and supplying material containing magnetic powder into the mold cavity from the first gate. The molded body is formed by closing the first gate after the formation of the outer portion, and supplying from the second gate material containing magnetic powder into a space formed by removing the spacer pin portions.

    Abstract: An inductor and a manufacturing method for the inductor includes disposing a spacer pin defining a core, and which includes a magnetic sinter, in a mold, and placing a coil so as to surround the spacer pin. A composite material which has a permeability that is different from that of the magnetic sinter and which includes a mixture of a powdered magnetic material and a resin, is then injected into the mold to obtain a molded body having embedded therein the coil and the spacer pin. Next, external electrodes are formed on outside surfaces of the molded body such that both ends of the coil are connected to the external electrodes.
