Inductive element and LC filter
The present disclosure provides an inductive element capable of lowering a Q-value. An inductive element includes a first cover and a second cover covering an annular core, and a first winding and a second winding wound around a region of the core, the first cover and the second cover. The first cover covers a part of an inner circumferential surface of the core, a part of an outer circumferential surface and an end surface on one end side in an axial direction. The second cover covers a part of the inner circumferential surface of the core, a part of the outer circumferential surface an end surface on the other end side in the axial direction.
1. An inductive element comprising:
an annular core;
a first cover and a second cover covering the core; and
a first winding and a second winding wound around a region of the core and the first and second covers, wherein
when a direction in which an axis which is surrounded by the annular core extends is defined as an axial direction,
the core includes an inner circumferential surface, an outer circumferential surface, an end surface on one end side in the axial direction, and an end surface on the other end side,
the first cover covers a part of the inner circumferential surface of the core, a part of the outer circumferential surface thereof, and the end surface on the one end side of the core, and includes an inner end surface extending over the inner circumferential surface of the core and an outer end surface extending over the outer circumferential surface thereof,
the second cover covers a part of the inner circumferential surface of the core, a part of the outer circumferential surface thereof, and the end surface on the other end side thereof, and includes an inner end surface extending over the inner circumferential surface of the core and an outer end surface extending over the outer circumferential surface thereof,
the inner end surfaces of the first and second covers are spaced apart from each other, and
the outer end surfaces of the first and second covers are spaced apart from each other,
wherein
the inner end surfaces of the first and second covers are spaced apart from each other by a predetermined interval over their entire areas, and
the outer end surfaces of the first and second covers are spaced apart from each other by a predetermined interval over their entire areas,
wherein the interval between the inner end surfaces of the first and second covers is larger than the interval between the outer end surfaces of the first and second covers.
2. The inductive element according to claim 1 , wherein the first and second windings are spaced apart from each other by a predetermined interval.
