Abstract

A coil component includes a first core including a support portion, a core portion protruding from the support portion, and a sidewall portion protruding from the support portion and partially surrounding the core portion, the sidewall portion including first and second sidewalls connected to each other, and surfaces of the first core opposing the first and second sidewalls being open, a winding-type coil disposed on the first core, and a second core attached to the first core.

Claims

1. A coil component, comprising:

a first core including a support portion, a core portion protruding from the support portion, and a sidewall portion protruding from the support portion and partially surrounding the core portion, the sidewall portion including first and second sidewalls connected to each other along a first edge aligned to a first corner of the support portion;

a winding-type coil disposed on the first core; and

a second core attached to the first core,

wherein an opening is provided between the first and second cores along a second edge aligned to a second corner of the support portion opposite to the first corner of the support portion.

2. The coil component of claim 1, wherein outer surfaces of the first and second sidewalls are perpendicular to each other.

3. The coil component of claim 1, wherein the coil includes a winding portion, a center of which is coupled to the core portion and first and second lead portions extend from the winding portion in different directions on the support portion.

4. The coil component of claim 3, wherein the first and second lead portions extend from the winding portion in directions perpendicular to each other on the support portion.

5. The coil component of claim 4, wherein the first and second lead portions are folded downwardly of the support portion, respectively.

6. The coil component of claim 5, wherein the first lead portion is folded once downwardly from the support portion in parallel with a direction in which the first lead portion extends in an opposite direction to the direction in which the first lead portion extends, and

the second lead portion is folded once downwardly of the support portion in a direction parallel with a direction in which the second lead portion extends in an opposite direction to the direction in which the second lead portion extends, and is folded once more in perpendicular to a direction in which the second lead portion extends.

7. The coil component of claim 5, wherein the first and second lead portions are parallel with each other below the support portion.

8. The coil component of claim 1, wherein the second core has a flat plate shape.

9. The coil component of claim 8, wherein the second core is attached to the first core with an adhesive.

10. The coil component of claim 1, wherein the first and second cores include magnetic powder particles.

11. A coil component, comprising:

a first core having a support portion, having a main planar surface and side surfaces connected to the main planar surface, and a sidewall portion extending from the main planar surface of the support portion along only two side surfaces adjacent each other from among the side surfaces;

a coil disposed on the first core and having a winding shape; and

a second core attached to the sidewall portion of the first core,

wherein the coil component includes an opening, between the second core and the support portion of the first core, co-planar with two other adjacent side surfaces of the support portion other than the two side surfaces having the sidewall portion.

12. The coil component of claim 11, wherein the two side surfaces having the sidewall portion are adjacent each other.

13. The coil component of claim 11, wherein first and second lead portions extend from the coil in directions perpendicular to each other on the support portion.

14. A coil component, comprising:

a first core including an arcuate channel and a support portion, a core portion protruding from the support portion, and a sidewall portion protruding from the support portion and partially surrounding the core portion, the sidewall portion including first and second sidewalls connected to each other;

a winding-type coil disposed on the first core and at least partially disposed within the arcuate channel; and

a second core attached to the first core,

wherein the winding-type coil is disposed between the second core and the support portion of the first core,

the winding-type coil has first and second lead portions extending outwardly, and

one sidewall of the winding-type coil between the first and second lead portions is externally exposed through an opening between the first and second cores.

15. The coil component of claim 14, wherein outer surfaces of the first and second sidewalls are perpendicular to each other.

16. The coil component of claim 14, wherein the coil includes a winding portion, a center of which is coupled to the core portion and the first and second lead portions extend from the winding portion in different directions on the support portion.

17. The coil component of claim 14, wherein the sidewall portion of the first core, including the first and second sidewalls connected to each other, is disposed between the first and second lead portions such that another sidewall of the winding-type coil between the first and second lead portions faces the sidewall portion.

18. The coil component of claim 14, wherein the one sidewall of the winding-type coil is uninterruptedly externally exposed from the first lead portion to the second lead portion through the opening between the first and second cores.
