Abstract

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.

Claims (14)

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.
