Abstract
A wire-wound type chip coil can take various inductance values while maintaining its outer dimension at a specified fixed value. A chip coil is formed by winding at least two conductive wires regularly in a single layer around a core made of a magnetic material and firmly connecting both ends of each conductive wire to terminal electrodes disposed on respective flanges of the core. This makes it possible to obtain a great current capacity. Furthermore, the inductance decreases because of an increase in the magnetic path length. A great number of different inductance values can be easily obtained by properly selecting parameters including the number of substantially parallel conductive wires, the diameter of each conductive wire, and the number of turns.

11. A method of adjusting a characteristic of a wire-wound type chip coil comprising the step of:
-
providing a wire-wound type chip coil including a core, flanges having a terminal electrode and respectively disposed on both ends of the core, a conductive wire wound around the core, both ends of the conductive wire being electrically connected to the respective terminal electrodes in parallel; and
adjusting the space between adjacent wires wound around the core so as to adjust the inductance between the terminal electrodes. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
