Abstract

A coil component includes a core with a closed magnetic circuit structure, a primary-side coil wound around the core, and a secondary-side coil wound around the core, disposed in an axial direction of the primary-side coil, and magnetically coupled to the primary-side coil. The primary-side coil and the secondary-side coil each include a first coil portion, and a second coil portion electrically connected to the first coil portion. The second coil portion overlaps in an axial direction of the first coil portion and an axis of the second coil portion is eccentric from an axis of the first coil portion. A cross-sectional area of an inner magnetic path of the second coil portion in a direction orthogonal to the axis is smaller than a cross-sectional area of an inner magnetic path of the first coil portion in a direction orthogonal to the axis.

Claims (32)

1. A coil component comprising:

a core with a closed magnetic circuit structure;

a primary-side coil wound around the core; and

a secondary-side coil wound around the core, disposed in an axial direction of the primary-side coil, and magnetically coupled to the primary-side coil, wherein

the primary-side coil and the secondary-side coil each include

a first coil portion, and

a second coil portion electrically connected to the first coil portion, wherein

the second coil portion overlaps in an axial direction of the first coil portion, wherein an axis of the second coil portion is eccentric from an axis of the first coil portion, and

a cross-sectional area of an inner magnetic path of the second coil portion in a direction orthogonal to the axis is smaller than a cross-sectional area of an inner magnetic path of the first coil portion in a direction orthogonal to the axis, and wherein

the second coil portion of the primary-side coil and the second coil portion of the secondary-side coil are coplanar in a direction orthogonal to the axial direction of the primary-side coil.

2. The coil component according to claim 1 , wherein when viewed in the axial direction of the primary-side coil, the inner magnetic path of the first coil portion of the primary-side coil overlaps with the inner magnetic path of the first coil portion of the secondary-side coil, while the inner magnetic path of the second coil portion of the primary-side coil does not overlap with the inner magnetic path of the second coil portion of the secondary-side coil.

3. The coil component according to claim 2 , wherein the second coil portion of the primary-side coil and the second coil portion of the secondary-side coil are arranged in parallel in the direction orthogonal to the axis of the primary-side coil.

4. The coil component according to claim 2 , wherein a cross-sectional area of a conductor of the first coil portion is different from a cross-sectional area of a conductor of the second coil portion.

5. The coil component according to claim 2 , wherein a pitch of the conductor of the second coil portion is narrower than a pitch of the conductor of the first coil portion.

6. The coil component according to claim 5 , wherein an aspect ratio of the conductor of the second coil portion is larger than an aspect ratio of the conductor of the first coil portion.

7. The coil component according to claim 1 , wherein the core is made of an organic resin containing a magnetic material and has a magnetic permeability of 40 or less.

8. A coil component comprising:

a core with a closed magnetic circuit structure;

a primary-side coil wound around the core; and

a secondary-side coil wound around the core, disposed in an axial direction of the primary-side coil, and magnetically coupled to the primary-side coil, wherein

the primary-side coil and the secondary-side coil each include

a first coil portion, and

a second coil portion electrically connected to the first coil portion, wherein

the second coil portion overlaps in an axial direction of the first coil portion, wherein an axis of the second coil portion is eccentric from an axis of the first coil portion, and

a cross-sectional area of an inner magnetic path of the second coil portion in a direction orthogonal to the axis is smaller than a cross-sectional area of an inner magnetic path of the first coil portion in a direction orthogonal to the axis, and wherein

when viewed in the axial direction of the primary-side coil, the inner magnetic path of the second coil portion of the primary-side coil does not overlap with the inner magnetic path of the second coil portion of the secondary-side coil.

9. The coil component according to claim 8 , wherein when viewed in the axial direction of the primary-side coil, the inner magnetic path of the first coil portion of the primary-side coil overlaps with the inner magnetic path of the first coil portion of the secondary-side coil.

10. The coil component according to claim 9 , wherein the second coil portion of the primary-side coil and the second coil portion of the secondary-side coil are arranged in parallel in the direction orthogonal to the axis of the primary-side coil.

11. The coil component according to claim 9 , wherein a cross-sectional area of a conductor of the first coil portion is different from a cross-sectional area of a conductor of the second coil portion.

12. The coil component according to claim 9 , wherein a pitch of the conductor of the second coil portion is narrower than a pitch of the conductor of the first coil portion.

13. The coil component according to claim 12 , wherein an aspect ratio of the conductor of the second coil portion is larger than an aspect ratio of the conductor of the first coil portion.

14. The coil component according to claim 8 , wherein the core is made of an organic resin containing a magnetic material and has a magnetic permeability of 40 or less.
