There is a need. Therefore, a manufacturing process that twists the conductor is required, and there was a problem in improving productivity. Moreover, since the T-core has a certain thickness, there is a problem that it is difficult to further reduce the height. An object of one aspect of the present invention is to provide an inductor whose manufacturing process can be simplified.

第1の態様は、導体が巻回されてなる巻回部および巻回部から引き出される一対の引き出し部を有するコイルと、コイルを内包し、磁性粉および樹脂を含む磁性部からなり、底面および底面と隣接し互いに対向する端面を有する素体と、素体の少なくとも底面に配置され、一対の引き出し部とそれぞれ電気的に接続された一対の外部電極と、を備えるインダクタである。コイルは、巻回部の巻軸方向を素体の底面に対して交差させて配置される。導体は、延伸方向に直交する断面が厚みおよび幅で規定される略矩形状であり、延伸方向および厚み方向で規定される一対の第1面と、延伸方向および幅方向で規定される一対の第2面とを有する。巻回部は、導体が一方の第2面を外周側、他方の第2面を内周側にして渦巻状に巻回されるとともに、最内周部で繋った2段に巻回され、導体の両端が巻回部のそれぞれの段の最外周部に位置してなる。引き出し部は、第2面を巻軸方向に対して略平行にして底面方向に引き出され、引き出し部の先端部の一方の第1面が、素体の底面で外部電極と接続される。 The first aspect consists of a coil having a winding portion formed by winding a conductor and a pair of lead portions drawn from the winding portion, and a magnetic portion containing the coil and containing magnetic powder and resin.

インダクタは、導体が巻回されてなる巻回部および巻回部から引き出される一対の引き出し部を有するコイルと、コイルを内包し、磁性粉および樹脂を含む磁性部からなり、底面および底面と隣接し互いに対向する端面を有する素体と、素体の少なくとも底面に配置され、一対の引き出し部とそれぞれ電気的に接続された一対の外部電極と、を備える。コイルは、巻回部の巻軸方向を素体の底面に対して交差させて配置される。導体は、延伸方向に直交する断面が厚みおよび幅で規定される略矩形状であり、延伸方向および厚み方向で規定される一対の第1面と、延伸方向および幅方向で規定される一対の第2面とを有する。コイルの巻回部は、導体が一方の第2面を外周側、他方の第2面を内周側にして渦巻状に巻回されるとともに、最内周部で繋り、一方の第1面と他方の第1面とを互いに対向させた2段に巻回され、導体の両端が巻回部のそれぞれの段の最外周部に位置してなる。導体の引き出し部は、導体の第2面を巻回部の巻軸方向に対して略平行にして底面方向に引き出され、引き出し部の先端部の導体の第1面が、素体の底面で外部電極と接続される。 The inductor consists of a coil having a winding portion formed by winding a conductor and a pair of lead portions drawn out from the winding portion, and a magnetic portion containing the coil and containing magnetic powder and resin, and adjacent to the bottom surface and the bottom surface. and a pair of external electrodes disposed on at least the bottom surface of the element and electrically connected to the pair of lead portions. The coil is arranged so that the winding axis direction of the winding portion intersects the bottom surface of the element body. The conductor has a substantially rectangular cross section defined by a thickness and a width in a direction orthogonal to the stretching direction, and has a pair of first surfaces defined by the stretching direction and the thickness direction and a pair of first surfaces defined by the stretching direction and the width direction. and a second surface. In the wound portion of the coil, the conductor is wound in a spiral shape with one second surface on the outer peripheral side and the other second surface on the inner peripheral side, connected at the innermost peripheral portion, and connected at the innermost peripheral portion. The conductor is wound in two stages with one surface and the other first surface facing each other, and both ends of the conductor are positioned at the outermost periphery of each stage of the winding portion. The lead-out portion of the conductor is led out toward the bottom surface with the second surface of the conductor substantially parallel to the direction of the winding axis of the winding portion, and the first surface of the conductor at the tip of the lead-out portion is the bottom surface of the element body. Connected to an external electrode.

コイルの引き出し部が、導体の第2面をコイルの巻軸方向に対して略平行に底面方向に引き出されて、第1面の一方が底面と略同一平面に配置されることで、導体を捻ることなく、導体の先端部の一部と外部電極とを接続できる。また、導体を折り返す必要がないため、インダクタのさらなる低背化が容易になる。 In the lead-out portion of the coil, the second surface of the conductor is pulled out in the direction of the bottom surface substantially parallel to the winding axis direction of the coil, and one of the first surfaces is arranged substantially in the same plane as the bottom surface. A portion of the tip of the conductor and the external electrode can be connected without twisting. In addition, since the conductor does not need to be folded back, the height of the inductor can be further reduced.

前記インダクタでは、引き出し部の先端部の一方の第2面が、素体の端面で外部電極と接続され、外部電極が素体の底面から端面に亘って配置されていてよい。導体の第1面の一方が素体の底面と略同一平面に配置され、また導体の外周側である第2面の一方が素体の端面と略同一平面に配置され、素体の底面から端面に亘って配置される外部電極と接続することで、導体と外部電極との接続面積が広くなりインダクタの直流抵抗が低減されるとともに、実装時の基板への固着強度が向上する。 In the inductor, one second surface of the leading end portion may be connected to the external electrode at the end surface of the element body, and the external electrode may be arranged from the bottom surface to the end surface of the element body. One of the first surfaces of the conductor is arranged substantially on the same plane as the bottom surface of the element body, and one of the second surfaces on the outer peripheral side of the conductor is arranged on substantially the same plane as the end surface of the element body. By connecting to the external electrodes arranged over the end face, the connection area between the conductor and the external electrodes is increased, the DC resistance of the inductor is reduced, and the bonding strength to the substrate during mounting is improved.

コイルは、引き出し部の先端部における導体の厚みが、巻回部における導体の厚みよりも大きく、引き出し部の先端部における導体の幅が、巻回部における導体の幅よりも小さい領域を有していてよい。引き出し部の先端部に、導体の第1面が広くなっている領域が存在し、その領域が素体の底面と略同一面に配置されることで、導体と外部電極との接続面積が広くなりインダクタの直流抵抗が低減される。 The coil has a region in which the thickness of the conductor at the leading end of the lead portion is greater than the thickness of the conductor at the winding portion, and the width of the conductor at the leading end portion of the lead portion is smaller than the width of the conductor at the winding portion. It's okay. A region where the first surface of the conductor is widened exists at the tip of the lead-out portion, and the region is arranged substantially on the same plane as the bottom surface of the element body, so that the connection area between the conductor and the external electrode is widened. As a result, the DC resistance of the inductor is reduced.

Moreover, the coating layer of the conductive wire is formed of an insulating resin such as polyimide or polyamideimide having a thickness of, for example, 2 μm or more and 10 μm or less. In order to prevent unwinding of the wound portion, a fusible layer containing a self-fusing component such as a thermoplastic resin or a thermosetting resin may be further provided on the surface of the coating layer, and the thickness thereof is 1 μm. It may be formed to have a thickness of 3 μm or more.

コイル30の巻回部32は、導体の両端が最外周部に位置し、導体が一方の第2面24が外周側になり、他方の第2面24が内周側になるように渦巻状に巻回されるとともに、最内周部で繋り、一方の第1面22と他方の第1面を互いに対向させた2段に巻回されてなる(いわゆるα巻き)。コイル30は、巻回部32の巻軸Nを素体10の底面12および上面16に交差させて素体10に内包される。 The winding portion 32 of the coil 30 has both ends of the conductor positioned at the outermost periphery, and the conductor is spiral so that one second surface 24 is on the outer peripheral side and the other second surface 24 is on the inner peripheral side. , and connected at the innermost peripheral portion, and are wound in two stages in which one first surface 22 and the other first surface are opposed to each other (so-called α winding). The coil 30 is included in the element body 10 with the winding axis N of the winding portion 32 crossing the bottom surface 12 and the top surface 16 of the element body 10 .

図2および図3に示すように、巻回部32の上面16側の上段の最外周部からは、引き出し部34aがその先端部36aを素体の一方の側面18に向けて引き出される。巻回部32の底面12側の下段の最外周部からは、引き出し部34bがその先端部36bを素体の一方の側面18に向けて引き出される。先端部36aおよび36bは同一の側面方向に、外周側である導体の一方の第2面24を、素体の端面14から離隔して引き出される。引き出し部34aおよび34bは導体の第2面24を巻回部32の巻軸と略平行にして素体の底面方向に引き出され、先端部36aおよび36bにおいてそれぞれ導体の第1面22の一方が底面12と略同一平面に配置され、素体の底面12から露出して外部電極40と接続する。すなわち、導体は延伸方向を軸として捻られることなく、底面方向に引き出される。先端部36aおよび36bにおいて素体の底面12から露出する導体の一方の第1面22は、外部電極40とそれぞれ電気的に接続される。 As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, a lead-out portion 34a is led out from the outermost peripheral portion of the upper surface 16 side of the wound portion 32 with its tip portion 36a directed toward one side surface 18 of the base body. From the lower outermost peripheral portion of the winding portion 32 on the side of the bottom surface 12, the lead-out portion 34b is led out with its tip portion 36b toward one side surface 18 of the base body.

導体断面のアスペクト比(t/w)は1/1より大きくてもよい。この場合、巻回部はいわゆるエッジワイズ巻きされたα巻きのコイルとなる。このような導線を用いると、より容易に導体を捻じることなく底面に引き出すことができる。 The aspect ratio (t/w) of the conductor cross-section may be greater than 1/1. In this case, the winding portion becomes a so-called edgewise-wound α-winding coil. By using such a conductor, the conductor can be more easily pulled out to the bottom surface without being twisted.

(実施例2)
実施例2のインダクタを、図4を参照して説明する。図4はインダクタ200を上面側から見た部分透過斜視図である。実施例2のインダクタ200では、引き出し部の先端部36が、導体の外周側の一方の第2面24を素体の端面14と略同一平面に配置され、素体の端面14から露出して配置されること以外は、実施例1のインダクタ100と同様に構成される。
(Example 2)
The inductor of Example 2 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 4 is a partially transparent perspective view of the inductor 200 viewed from the top side. In the inductor 200 of Example 2, the leading end portion 36 of the lead portion is arranged such that the second surface 24 on the outer peripheral side of the conductor is substantially flush with the end face 14 of the element body, and is exposed from the end face 14 of the element body. It is configured in the same manner as the inductor 100 of Example 1 except that it is arranged.

インダクタ200では、引き出し部の先端部36において、コイルを形成する導体の第1面22の一方が素体の底面12と略同一平面に配置されて素体の底面12から露出する。また、導体の第2面24の一方が素体の端面14と略同一平面に配置されて素体の端面14から露出する。導体の素体から露出した面上には外部電極40が配置され、電気的に接続される。 In the inductor 200, one of the first surfaces 22 of the conductor forming the coil is arranged substantially flush with the bottom surface 12 of the element and exposed from the bottom surface 12 of the element. Also, one of the second surfaces 24 of the conductor is arranged substantially flush with the end surface 14 of the element and is exposed from the end surface 14 of the element. An external electrode 40 is arranged on the surface exposed from the conductor element body and electrically connected.

インダクタ200では導体の2つの面が外部電極40と電気的に接続されることで導体と外部電極との接続面積が広くなり、インダクタとしての直流抵抗が低減される。また、外部電極40が素体の底面12と端面14とに亘って形成され、側面方向(W方向)から見てL字状をなしている。これにより、実装する際の基板への固着強度を向上させることができる。 In the inductor 200, two surfaces of the conductor are electrically connected to the external electrode 40, thereby increasing the connection area between the conductor and the external electrode, thereby reducing the DC resistance of the inductor. Also, an external electrode 40 is formed over the bottom surface 12 and the end surface 14 of the element body, and has an L shape when viewed from the lateral direction (W direction). As a result, it is possible to improve the fixing strength to the substrate during mounting.

(実施例3)
実施例2のインダクタを、図5を参照して説明する。図5はインダクタ300を上面側から見た部分透過斜視図である。実施例3のインダクタ300では、引き出し部の先端部36が、導体の厚みが巻回部における導体の厚みよりも大きく、導体の幅が巻回部における導体の幅よりも小さい領域を有すること、および外部電極40が素体の底面12のみに配置されること以外は、実施例1のインダクタ100と同様に構成される。
(Example 3)
The inductor of Example 2 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 5 is a partially transparent perspective view of the inductor 300 viewed from the top side. In the inductor 300 of Example 3, the leading end portion 36 of the lead portion has a region in which the thickness of the conductor is greater than the thickness of the conductor in the winding portion and the width of the conductor is smaller than the width of the conductor in the winding portion; And the external electrodes 40 are arranged only on the bottom surface 12 of the element body, and are configured in the same manner as the inductor 100 of the first embodiment.

インダクタ300では、引き出し部の先端部36において、導体が幅方向に圧縮されて厚み方向に広がっている。これにより先端部36における導体の厚みは、巻回部における導体の厚みよりも大きくなっている。一方、先端部における導体の幅は、巻回部における導体の幅よりも小さくなっている。図5では、幅方向に圧縮された領域は、導体の端部から引き出し部34に向かって形成されている。厚み方向に広がった第1面22aの一方は、素体の底面12と略同一平面に配置されて素体の底面12から露出している。素体の底面12から露出した第1面22aには、素体の底面12に配置された外部電極40が電気的に接続される。一方、圧縮されて幅が小さくなった一方の第2面24aは、素体の端面14から離隔して配置される。 In the inductor 300, the conductor is compressed in the width direction and expanded in the thickness direction at the leading end portion 36 of the lead portion. As a result, the thickness of the conductor at the tip portion 36 is greater than the thickness of the conductor at the wound portion. On the other hand, the width of the conductor at the tip is smaller than the width of the conductor at the wound portion. In FIG. 5, the widthwise compressed region is formed from the end of the conductor toward the lead-out portion 34 . One of the first surfaces 22a extending in the thickness direction is arranged substantially on the same plane as the bottom surface 12 of the element and is exposed from the bottom surface 12 of the element. An external electrode 40 arranged on the bottom surface 12 of the element is electrically connected to the first surface 22a exposed from the bottom 12 of the element. On the other hand, the second surface 24a, which has been compressed and has a reduced width, is arranged apart from the end surface 14 of the element.

インダクタ300では、外部電極40と導体の先端部36との接続面積を広くすることができ、インダクタとしての直流抵抗を低減できる。 In the inductor 300, the connection area between the external electrode 40 and the tip portion 36 of the conductor can be increased, and the direct current resistance of the inductor can be reduced.

上述したインダクタでは、外部電極は、素体の底面および端面に亘って配置されている場合を説明したが、素体の上面および側面の少なくとも一方にも形成されてもよい。導体の延伸方向の端面は素体の側面と略同一平面に配置されて素体の側面から露出していてもよい。導体の延伸方向に直交する断面は矩形状としたが、矩形状にかぎらず、角部が面取りされていてもよく、辺が半円、半楕円等の曲線で構成されてもよい。コイルの巻回部を巻軸方向から見た形状は、長円形以外の形状、例えば、円形状、楕円形状、面取りされた多角形状等であってもよい。保護層は、フィラーと樹脂を含む樹脂組成物に代えて、水ガラス等の無機材料から形成されてもよい。素体の底面の外部電極が配置されていない領域には凹部(スタンドオフ)が形成されていてよい。素体底面に設けられる凹部は、幅W方向から見て高さT方向の形状が、半円形状であってもよい。 In the inductor described above, the case where the external electrodes are arranged over the bottom surface and the end surfaces of the element body has been described, but they may be formed on at least one of the upper surface and the side surfaces of the element body. The end face of the conductor in the extending direction may be arranged substantially on the same plane as the side surface of the element body and exposed from the side surface of the element body. Although the cross section perpendicular to the extending direction of the conductor is rectangular, the shape is not limited to the rectangular shape, and the corners may be chamfered, and the sides may be curved, such as semicircular or semielliptical. The shape of the winding portion of the coil when viewed from the winding axis direction may be a shape other than an oval shape, such as a circular shape, an elliptical shape, or a chamfered polygonal shape. The protective layer may be made of an inorganic material such as water glass instead of a resin composition containing a filler and a resin. A concave portion (standoff) may be formed in a region where the external electrode is not arranged on the bottom surface of the element body. The concave portion provided on the base body bottom surface may have a semicircular shape in the height T direction when viewed from the width W direction.
