Surface-mount inductor and method for manufacturing the same
A surface-mount inductor having a coil formed by winding a wire and a molded body for accommodating the coil, wherein the coil includes: a pair of first rolls of wire of a rectangular section which are wound in a two-roll arrangement, both ends of the wire being positioned at their outermost turns; and a pair of second rolls wound in positions adjacent to and each on opposite sides of the first rolls to partially overlap the first rolls, whereby the ends of the wire are brought out from the outermost turns of the second rolls as lead ends, with winding axis of the coil being parallel with the molded body and the lead ends extending over the surface of the mounting face.
1. A surface-mount inductor having a coil formed by winding a wire and a molded body for accommodating the coil inside, the molded body being provided with a mounting face outside wherein
the coil comprises:
a pair of first rolls of wire of a rectangular section which are wound in a two-roll arrangement, both ends of the wire being positioned at their outermost turns; and
a pair of second rolls wound in positions adjacent to and each on opposite sides of the first rolls to partially overlap the first rolls, the inner diameter of the second rolls being larger than the outer diameter of the first rolls;
whereby the ends of the wire are brought out from the outermost turn of the second rolls as lead ends, a winding axis of the coil is parallel with the molded body and the lead ends extend over the surface of the mounting face.
