Abstract: To prevent a short-circuit failure by controlling the flow of a solder in a surface-mount type coil component. A coil component includes a coil part in which conductor layers and interlayer insulating layers are alternately stacked. The conductor layers respectively have coil conductor patterns embedded in the coil part and electrode patterns exposed from the coil part. The interlayer insulating layers each protrude from the plurality of electrode patterns at a part between the electrode patterns, and the flow of a solder in the stacking direction is suppressed by the protruding parts. This makes it possible to prevent a short-circuit failure due to the flow of a solder in the stacking direction.

Abstract: To achieve a high inductance value while reducing the entire thickness in a coil component having a structure in which spiral coil patterns are stacked. A coil component includes: a coil part having a structure in which interlayer insulating films and spirally wound coil patterns are alternately stacked in the axial direction of the coil component; and magnetic element members embedding therein the coil part. The interlayer insulating film covering, from one end side in the axial direction, one coil pattern positioned at the one end in the axial direction is higher in permeability than the interlayer insulating films. Thus, the one coil pattern positioned at the end portion is covered with the interlayer insulating film having a high permeability, so that it is possible to achieve a high inductance value while reducing the entire thickness.
