Abstract

A multilayer coil component includes a multilayer body formed by stacking a plurality of insulating layers in a length direction and that has a built-in coil, and a first outer electrode and a second outer electrode that are electrically connected to the coil. The coil is formed by a plurality of coil conductors stacked in the length direction being electrically connected to each other. The first and second outer electrodes respectively cover parts of first and second end surfaces and parts of a first main surface. Two coil conductors are stacked in order to form one turn of the coil. Adjacent land portions of coil conductors in the stacking direction are connected to each other through via conductors. In a plan view from a width direction, the land portions are disposed in an upper half of the multilayer body on the opposite side from the first main surface.

Claims (19)

1. A multilayer coil component comprising:

a multilayer body that is formed by stacking a plurality of insulating layers on top of one another in a length direction and that has a coil built into the inside thereof; and

a first outer electrode and a second outer electrode that are electrically connected to the coil;

wherein the coil is formed by a plurality of coil conductors stacked in the length direction together with the insulating layers being electrically connected to each other,

the multilayer body has a first end surface and a second end surface, which face each other in the length direction, a first main surface and a second main surface, which face each other in a height direction perpendicular to the length direction, and a first side surface and a second side surface, which face each other in a width direction perpendicular to the length direction and the height direction,

the first outer electrode extends along and covers a portion of the first end surface and a portion of the first main surface,

the second outer electrode extends along and covers a portion of the second end surface and a portion of the first main surface,

the first main surface is a mounting surface,

a stacking direction of the multilayer body and an axial direction of the coil are parallel to the first main surface,

two coil conductors from the plurality of coil conductors that are stacked to define one turn of the coil,

each of the coil conductors from the plurality of coil conductors include a line portion and a land portion arranged at an end of the line portion, and the land portions of the coil conductors that are adjacent to each other in the stacking direction are connected to each other through via conductors, and

in a plan view from the width direction, the land portions are disposed in an upper half of the multilayer body on the opposite side from the first main surface.

2. The multilayer coil component according to claim 1 , wherein the number of stacked coil conductors is in a range from 40 to 60.

3. The multilayer coil component according to claim 1 , wherein a distance between coil conductors that are adjacent to each other in the stacking direction is in a range from 3 μm to 10 μm.

4. The multilayer coil component according to claim 1 , wherein a length of a region in which the coil conductors are arranged in the stacking direction is in a range from 85% to 95% of a length of the multilayer body.

5. The multilayer coil component according to claim 2 , wherein a distance between coil conductors that are adjacent to each other in the stacking direction is in a range from 3 μm to 10 μm.

6. The multilayer coil component according to claim 2 , wherein a length of a region in which the coil conductors are arranged in the stacking direction is in a range from 85% to 95% of a length of the multilayer body.

7. The multilayer coil component according to claim 3 , wherein a length of a region in which the coil conductors are arranged in the stacking direction is in a range from 85% to 95% of a length of the multilayer body.

8. The multilayer coil component according to claim 5 , wherein a length of a region in which the coil conductors are arranged in the stacking direction is in a range from 85% to 95% of a length of the multilayer body.
