Coil component and method of manufacturing the same
First Claim
1. A coil component comprising:
- a coil having a through-hole;
a magnetic core including said coil; and
a terminal connected to said coil, wherein said magnetic core includes a top portion disposed at an upper part of said coil, a bottom portion disposed at a lower part of said coil, and a middle portion disposed at the height of said coil, an outer layer thickness of said middle portion is less than a diameter of said through-hole, while said top portion and said bottom portion are higher in density than said middle portion.

Abstract
A coil component comprising; a coil 2 having a through-hole 1, a magnetic core including the coil, and a terminal 4, wherein magnetic core comprises a top portion 11 disposed at an upper part of the coil, a bottom portion 12 disposed at a lower part of the coil, and a middle portion 13. An outer layer thickness of the middle portion (W1) is less than a diameter of the through-hole, while the top portion and the bottom portion are higher in density than the middle portion. The configuration of the present invention provides a small size coil component with less occurrence of magnetic saturation to prevent lowering of inductance even with thin top portion 11 and bottom portion 12. The coil component further has improved reliability.

12. A method of manufacturing coil component comprising the steps of:
-
encapsulating a coil having a through-hole with a magnetic core including magnetic powder; and
forming a terminal connected to said coil, wherein said encapsulating is processed such that an outer layer thickness of a middle portion including said coil is made less than a diameter of said through-hole, and a top portion of said magnetic core disposed at an upper part of said coil and a bottom portion of said magnetic core disposed at a lower part of said coil are made higher in density than said middle portion. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
