First Claim
Patent Images
1. A chip inductor comprising:
- a core having a winding core, and rectangular flanges integrally formed at either end of the winding core in its axial direction, said rectangular flanges having end surfaces and circumferential side surfaces;
external electrodes consisting of a first conductive film layer formed on end surfaces and circumferential side surfaces respectively of both rectangular flanges of the core;
a winding wound around the winding core having a wound-up portion and an external peripheral surface thereof, with both ends of the winding conductively fixed to the external electrodes to each form a conductively fixed portion; and
an external covering material for covering the external peripheral surface of the winding wound around the winding core,wherein the external covering material is embedded into a gap between both flanges, both ends of the external covering material at both flange sides are superimposed on the first conductive film layer on the circumferential side surfaces of the flanges, and both ends of a second conductive film layer are laminated on the first conductive film layer so as to be superimposed on the external covering material of the flanges.

Abstract
A winding-type chip inductor having an approximately rectangular parallelepiped shape and improved appearance is provided having external electrodes installed directly on a core which is adaptable to a bulk mounting of one-by-one system by a chip mounter. This chip inductor comprises a core consisting of a winding core and rectangular flanges, a first conductive film layer installed directly on the flanges, a winding wound around the winding core with both ends of the winding conductively fixed to the first conductive film layer, and an external covering material covering the outer periphery of the winding and shaped in a rectangular fashion.
