Coil component
A coil component includes: an element body including a main surface; a pair of external electrodes disposed on the main surface; and a coil including a coil part positioned in the element body and a pair of connecting parts exposed from the element body and each connected to a corresponding external electrode of the pair of external electrodes. Each of the pair of external electrodes includes a first surface opposing the main surface and a second surface opposing the first surface. Each of the pair of connecting parts includes a first part coupled to the second surface of the corresponding external electrode and a second part continuous with the first part and an end of the coil part.
1 . A coil component comprising:
an element body including a main surface;
a pair of external electrodes on the main surface; and
a coil including a coil part in the element body and a pair of connecting parts exposed from the element body and each connected to a corresponding external electrode of the pair of external electrodes, wherein
each of the pair of external electrodes includes a first surface opposing the main surface and a second surface opposing the first surface,
each of the pair of connecting parts includes a first part coupled to the second surface of the corresponding external electrode and a second part continuous with the first part and an end of the coil part,
each of the pair of external electrodes includes a through hole opening in the first surface and the second surface,
each of the second parts is at least partially positioned in a corresponding one of the through holes, and
each of the first parts includes a pair of portions that are opposite one another relative to the corresponding one of the through holes and extend away from one another when viewed perpendicular to the main surface.
2 . The coil component according to claim 1 , further comprising a plating layer formed on the second surface to cover the first part.
3 . The coil component according to claim 1 , wherein
the element body includes a first element body part covering the coil part and a second element body part including the main surface, and
the second element body part is positioned between the coil part and the pair of external electrodes.
4 . The coil component according to claim 3 , wherein a relative permittivity of the second element body part is lower than a relative permittivity of the first element body part.
