  • Patent number: 6696911
    Abstract: A common-mode choke coil includes first to third spiral coils, in which the diameters of coil portions are substantially the same and the axes of the coil portions are aligned collinearly. Extended portions of the first and second coils have a flectional pattern and connect coil portions located at substantially the center in the longitudinal direction of sheets and input/output electrodes. The junctions of the extended portions and the coil portions have a folded configuration. Accordingly, the number of turns and the line length of the first coil are the same as those of the second coil.

  • Patent number: 6669796
    Abstract: In a method for manufacturing a laminated ceramic electronic component, a first transfer member and a second transfer member are prepared on a lamination stage to produce the laminated ceramic electronic component. The first transfer member includes a conductor-attached composite green sheet having a conductor on a portion of the surface thereof, including a non-magnetic ceramic region and a magnetic ceramic region, and a first carrier film that carries the conductor-attached composite green sheet. The second transfer member includes a ceramic green sheet and a carrier film that carries the ceramic green sheet. The laminated ceramic electronic component is thus produced through a first transfer step in which the ceramic green sheets are successively transferred, through a second transfer step in which the conductor-attached composite green sheet is transferred, and through a third transfer step in which the ceramic green sheet of the second transfer member is transferred.

  • Publication number: 20020105788
    Abstract: In a method of manufacturing a laminated ceramic electronic component, a first transfer sheet in which a composite green sheet having a non-magnetic ceramic area and a magnetic ceramic area is supported by a supporting film, and a second transfer sheet in which a ceramic green sheet is supported by a supporting film are prepared. The method includes the first transfer step of sequentially transferring the ceramic green sheet onto a lamination stage, the second transfer step of transferring the composite green sheet, the third transfer step of transferring the ceramic green sheet of the second transfer sheet, and the step of obtaining a laminate.

  • Patent number: 6133809
    Abstract: An LC filter is disclosed which exhibits excellent attenuation characteristics in a high-frequency range and substantially preserves its self-inductance and Q-factor. The LC filter is constructed of a laminated block formed by laminating insulating sheets each provided with a coil conductor. The coil conductors are connected in series to each other through via-holes to form a coil. Input/output external electrodes and ground external electrodes are disposed on the surfaces of the laminated block. The insulating sheets are laminated in a direction perpendicular to the input/output external electrodes and parallel to the mounting surface. The coil is axially placed perpendicular to the input/output external electrodes and parallel to the ground external electrodes and the mounting surface. A distributed capacitance is generated between the coil and each of the ground external electrodes to form a capacitor.

  • Patent number: 5561586
    Abstract: An electronic device which has, on a rectangular insulating substrate, an input electrode and an output electrode, grounding electrodes and a conductor for electrically connecting the input electrode and the output electrode. The input electrode and the output electrode are disposed on both ends of the substrate. The grounding electrodes are disposed on side surfaces of the substrate in the center, and the conductor is disposed on an upper surface of the substrate. The conductor is a conductor with a high conductivity, a resistor or a coil. A capacity is generated between the conductor and the grounding electrode. If the conductor is a resistor, an RC circuit is formed.
