1. A surface-mount inductor, comprising:
- a winding wire;
an element body; and
an external electrode,wherein the element body comprises a magnetic powder resin comprising magnetic powders and an insulating resin, and is a rectangular parallelepiped-shaped element body having a pair of end surfaces, upper and lower surfaces, and opposed side surfaces, each of the upper, lower and side surfaces connecting between the end surfaces,wherein the winding wire is buried in such a manner as to allow each of terminal ends of the winding wire to be exposed on respective one of the end surfaces of the element body,wherein the external electrode is provided in the end surfaces, the upper and lower surfaces, and at an end portion of each of the opposed side surfaces, each of the upper, lower and side surfaces adjoining the end surfaces, andwherein the element body has an outer periphery coated with an insulating resin, except for at least the lower surface.

Abstract
A surface-mount inductor with a lower-surface electrode structure is provided. In the surface-mount inductor, a winding wire is buried in such a manner as to allow each of terminal ends of the winding wire to be exposed on a respective one of the end surfaces of an element body. An external electrode is provided in the end surfaces, the upper and lower surfaces, and at an end portion of each of the opposed side surfaces of an element body. The element body has an outer periphery coated with an insulating resin, except for at least the lower surface.

4. A method of producing a surface-mount inductor, the method comprising the steps of:
-
providing an element body in which a winding wire is buried, wherein the element body comprises a magnetic powder resin comprising magnetic powders and an insulating resin, and is a rectangular parallelepiped-shaped element body having a pair of end surfaces, upper and lower surfaces, and opposed side surfaces, each of the upper, lower and side surfaces connecting between the end surfaces, and wherein each of the terminal ends of the winding wire is exposed on respective one of the end surfaces of the element body; applying an electrically-conductive resin to the end surfaces, the upper and lower surfaces, and an end portion of each of the side surfaces; spray-coating an outer periphery of the element body with an insulating resin, except for at least the lower surface; providing a nickel plated layer on the electrically-conductive resin of the element body which is not spray-coated; and applying tin-plating to the nickel plated layer. - View Dependent Claims (5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10)
