Coil bobbin, coil component and switching power source apparatus
View Patent ↗In a coil bobbin, a cover section is provided as a spacer section which abuts against a heat radiating section that functions as a heat radiating terminal of the first coil winding, from a direction following the axis line of the tubular section. Here, when performing heat radiation from the coil winding, since the cover section which abuts against the heat radiating terminal when the coil winding is fixed to the heat radiating object functions as an insulating member, then the radiation of heat from the coil winding is raised without increasing the number of parts.
1. An insulating coil bobbin comprising:
a tubular section;
a conductive coil winding having a first end portion and a second end portion, the conductive coil winding wound around the tubular section;
a heat radiating terminal provided on the conductive coil winding spaced away from the first end portion and the second end portion about an axis line of the tubular section; and
a spacer section projecting from the tubular section and abutting against the heat radiating terminal from a direction along the axis line of the tubular section.
2. The coil bobbin according to claim 1 , further comprising rotation restricting means for restricting rotation in one direction of the conductive coil winding, by projecting outwards from the tubular section and abutting against the conductive coil winding when the conductive coil winding is inserted into the tubular section and rotated.
3. The coil bobbin according to claim 2 , further comprising a flat-shaped flange section which projects outwards from a central portion of the tubular section in a plane which is perpendicular to the axis line of the tubular section,
wherein the spacer section is provided at a position of different height from the flange section, when viewed in a direction perpendicular to the axis line.
4. The coil bobbin according to claim 2 , further comprising reversal restricting means for restricting rotation in a reverse direction to the one direction, when the conductive coil winding has abutted with the rotation restricting means.
5. A coil component, comprising:
the coil bobbin according to claim 1 ;
a coil winding which is wound in one or more turns about the axis line and which is provided with a second heat radiating terminal;
a pressing member which presses the second heat radiating terminal provided on the coil winding in the axis line direction via the spacer section; and
a pair of magnetic core members which sandwich the coil winding in the axis line direction.
6. The coil component according to claim 5 , wherein the pressing member has elasticity in the pressing direction.
7. A switching power source apparatus comprising the coil component according to claim 5 .
