Electronic component, vehicle and electronic apparatus
View Patent ↗According to one embodiment, an electronic component includes a cylindrical former proper, a thick portion provided at the end of the former proper and projecting from the outer surface of the former proper, a connecting portion adjacent to the thick portion including a terminal assembly, and a wire wound around the former proper and electrically connected to the terminal assembly. The thick portion includes a first retaining portion in which the wire running from the terminal assembly to the former proper is retained.
1. An electronic component comprising:
a cylindrical former proper;
a thick portion at an end of the former proper projecting from the outer surface of the former proper and comprising a first retaining portion;
a connecting portion adjacent to the thick portion comprising a terminal assembly;
a wire electrically connected to the terminal assembly and wound around the former proper; and
a second retaining portion projecting from the connecting portion between the terminal assembly and the first retaining portion;
an insulating tape covering the wire and the former proper;
a pair of separation tapes wrapped around the former proper over the insulating tape; and
an upper layer wire wound around the former proper over the insulating tape between the pair of separation tapes,
wherein the wire running from the terminal assembly to the former proper is retained at the first retaining portion, and the second retaining portion retains the wire.
2. The electronic component of claim 1 , wherein the height of the thick portion from the outer surface of the former proper is greater than the diameter of the wire.
3. The electronic component of claim 2 , wherein
the terminal assembly includes a first terminal and a second terminal,
the wire includes a first end portion electrically connected to the first terminal, a first contact portion retained by the second retaining portion, a second contact portion retained by the first retaining portion, and a second end portion electrically connected to the second terminal.
4. The electronic component of claim 2 , wherein
the connecting portion further comprises a plurality of upper layer terminals arranged in line with the terminal assembly, and
the terminal assembly and the other terminal are positioned at an end of the line in which the terminal assembly and the upper layer terminals are arranged.
5. The electronic component of claim 1 , wherein
a thickness of each separation tape of the pair of separation tapes is greater than a diameter of the wire.
6. A vehicle comprising:
a circuit board; and
an electronic component installed in the circuit board, the electronic component comprising:
a cylindrical former proper,
a thick portion at an end of the former proper projecting from the outer surface of the former proper and comprising a first retaining portion;
a connecting portion adjacent to the thick portion comprising a terminal assembly;
a wire electrically connected to the terminal assembly and wound around the former proper;
a second retaining portion projecting from the connecting portion between the terminal assembly and the first retaining portion;
an insulating tape covering the wire and the former proper;
a pair of separation tapes wrapped around the former proper over the insulating tape; and
an upper layer wire wound around the former proper over the insulating tape between the pair of separation tapes,
wherein the wire running from the terminal assembly to the former proper is retained at the first retaining portion, and the second retaining portion retains the wire.
7. An electronic apparatus comprising:
a housing;
a circuit board in the housing; and
an electronic component installed in the circuit board, the electronic component comprising:
a cylindrical former proper,
a thick portion at an end of the former proper projecting from the outer surface of the former proper and comprising a first retaining portion,
a connecting portion adjacent to the thick portion comprising a terminal assembly;
a wire electrically connected to the terminal assembly and wound around the former proper;
a second retaining portion projecting from the connecting portion between the terminal assembly and the first retaining portion;
an insulating tape covering the wire and the former proper;
a pair of separation tapes wrapped around the former proper over the insulating tape; and
an upper layer wire wound around the former proper over the insulating tape between the pair of separation tapes,
wherein the wire running from the terminal assembly to the former proper is retained at the first retaining portion, and
the second retaining portion retains the wire.
