Abstract: A magnetic core includes a winding core and first and second flanges connected to the winding core. First and second terminal electrodes are connected to a lead frame. The first flange is bonded to the first and second terminal electrodes. Third and fourth terminal electrodes are bonded to the second flange. First and second insulation-coated conductive wires are wound about the winding core. The first and second insulation-coated conductive wires are connected to the first and second terminal electrodes and the third and fourth terminal electrodes. The lead frame is bent so as to rotate the magnetic core by 90 degrees with respect to the lead frame. A magnetic plate is bonded to the magnetic core. The magnetic core is removed from the lead frame by removing the first and second terminal electrodes from the lead frame, thereby providing a common-mode choke coil. The common-mode choke coil having stable electrical performance is produced efficiently by the above method.
