Abstract

A noise filter includes a plurality of inductor elements connected with one another in series. The inductor element includes a ring-shaped magnetic core, a winding wound around the magnetic core, and a ground terminal disposed between the magnetic core and the winding, the ground terminal being connected to a ground. The ground terminal includes a conductive part that surrounds at least a part of an outer periphery of the magnetic core.
