Abstract
An inductor may include: a body, and a first and a second external electrode formed on end surfaces of the body. The body may include a coil support layer, a conductive coil formed on at least one surface of the coil support layer, a lamination part formed in a gap of the conductive coil and on an upper surface thereof, an insulating coating part formed to enclose an overall surface of the conductive coil on which the lamination part is formed, and upper and lower cover layers covering the overall surface of the conductive coil on which the insulating coating part is formed.
