Abstract

A super-thin surface-mounting-type coil component, for mounting on a hybrid IC such as a DC-DC converter, is provided. Such a surface-mounting-type component comprises a core having a flat core portion in which the ratio of thickness to width (t/w) is not greater than 1/3, flange portions extending from both ends of the core portion in a longitudinal direction to be integrated with the core portion, two or four electrode layers spacedly positioned apart from each other and formed on peripheral portions, including side surfaces of the flange portions in at least a vertical direction, of the flange portions of the core, and a winding wound on the core portion of the core, having both ends obliquely led from the side surfaces of the flange portions and conductively fixed to the electrode layers of the side surfaces by thermo-compression bonding.

Claims

1. A surface-mounting-type coil component comprising:

a core having a flat core portion in which a ratio t/w of a thickness t to a width w is not more than 1/3, and flange portions extending from both ends of said core portion in a longitudinal direction to be integrated with said core portion;

recessed grooves formed in side surfaces of said flange portions;

two or four electrode layers being formed by printing or baking which are spacedly positioned apart from each other and formed on peripheral portions, including side surfaces and recessed grooves of said flange portions in at least a vertical direction, of said flange portions of said core; and

a winding having two ends wound on said core portion of said core,

wherein said winding has both ends obliquely led aslant to the side surfaces of said flange portions and conductively fixed to said electrode layers of said recessed grooves located on the side surfaces of said flange portions by thermo-compression bonding to form a conductively fixed portion, the conductively fixed portion being covered with a resin.

2. A surface-mounting-type coil component according to claim 1, wherein the end of said winding on at least a winding-end side is conductively fixed to said electrode layer of the side surface of said flange portion of said core on an extension of the thickness of said core portion.

3. A surface-mounting-type coil component according to claim 2, wherein a height H of said flange portion of said core is not more than 1.6 mm, and a line diameter of said winding ranges from 30 μ

m to 150 μ

m.

4. A surface-mounting-type coil component according to claim 2, wherein a thickness of said electrode layer being in contact with a fixed portion of the end of said winding is not more than a line diameter of said winding.

5. A surface-mounting-type coil component according to claim 2, wherein a gap region in which said electrode layer is not formed is formed near said core portion on the peripheral portion of said flange portion of said core having said electrode layer formed thereon.

6. A surface-mounting-type coil component according to claim 2, wherein a fixed portion of said winding on said electrode layer has a wide portion having a width 1.5 to 4.0 times a line diameter of said winding.

7. A surface-mounting-type coil component according to claim 2, wherein said electrode layer is formed in a recessed groove formed in the side surface of said flange portion of said core, and a fixed portion of the end of said winding on said electrode layer is accommodated in said recessed groove.

8. A surface-mounting-type coil component according to claim 2, wherein a magnetic-powder contained-resin layer is levelly formed on a surface, on a mounting substrate side, of said winding wound on said core portion.

9. A surface-mounting-type coil component according to claim 1, wherein a height H of said flange portion of said core is not more than 1.6 mm, and a line diameter of said winding ranges from 30 μ

m to 150 μ

m.

10. A surface-mounting-type coil component according to claim 1, wherein a thickness of said electrode layer being in contact with a fixed portion of the end of said winding is not more than a line diameter of said winding.

11. A surface-mounting-type coil component according to claim 1, wherein a gap region in which said electrode layer is not formed is formed near said core portion on the peripheral portion of said flange portion of said core having said electrode layer formed thereon.

12. A surface-mounting-type coil component according to claim 1, wherein a fixed portion of said winding on said electrode layer has a wide portion having a width 1.5 to 4.0 times a line diameter of said winding.

13. A surface-mounting-type coil component according to claim 1, wherein said electrode layer is formed in a recessed groove formed in the side surface of said flange portion of said core, and a fixed portion of the end of said winding on said electrode layer is accommodated in said recessed groove.

14. A surface-mounting-type coil component according to claim 1, wherein a magnetic-powder contained-resin layer is levelly formed on a surface, on a mounting substrate side, of said winding wound on said core portion.

15. The surface-mounting-type coil component of claim 1, wherein a conductive paste containing silver powder and glass frit is affixed to the end face of each of the flange portions.

16. The surface-mounting-type coil component of claim 15, wherein the conductive paste is affixed to the end face of each of the flange portions by printing.
