1. A coil component comprising:
- a magnetic core containing magnetic powder;
a coil element embedded in the magnetic core, the coil element having has an end projecting from the magnetic core, the end of the coil element extending in a first direction; and
a retaining member for retaining the end of the coil element,wherein the retaining member has a main surface having a recess therein sinking toward the magnetic core,wherein the retaining member has a ridge projecting from a bottom surface of the recess in a predetermined direction and extending linearly along the bottom surface in a second direction,wherein the end of the coil element contacts a tip end portion of the ridge in the predetermined direction, and the end of the coil element is welded to the ridge at the tip end portion of the ridge, andwherein the first direction and second direction intersect with one another.
