Wire-wound type coil and winding method therefor
A common-mode choke coil includes a magnetic core, external electrodes, first and second wires, and a magnetic top. The magnetic core includes a winding core section and first and second flange sections. The external electrodes are provided on the first and second flange sections. The first wire is directly wound around the winding core section. The second wire is wound around the outside of the first wire. The first turn of the second wire is wound while being in contact with the first turn of the first wire and the first flange section.
1. A wire-wound type coil comprising:
a magnetic core including a winding core section and first and second flange sections disposed at both ends of the winding core section;
an external electrode provided on each of the first and second flange sections; and
first and second wires wound around the winding core section from a side adjacent to the first flange section toward a side adjacent to the second flange section, each of the first and second wires having an end section extending to the external electrode and bonded thereto; wherein
the first wire is directly wound around the winding core section;
the second wire is wound around an outside of the first wire such that a wire portion of the first turn of the second wire is arranged closer to the first flange section than a wire portion of the first turn of the first wire is and is in contact with both the first flange section and the wire portion of the first turn of the first wire;
a wire portion of a last turn of the first wire and a wire portion of a last turn of the second wire terminate before the second flange section without being in contact with the second flange section, and an end section of each of the wire portions of the last turns extends to and is bonded to the external electrode on the second flange section; and
the wire portion of the first turn of the second wire, that is arranged closer to the first flange section than the wire portion of the first turn of the first wire, is not in direct contact with the winding core section.
2. The wire-wound type coil according to claim 1 , further comprising a magnetic top extending between and fixed to the first and second flange sections.
