Inductor

1. An inductor comprising:

a body including a support member including a through-hole, an internal coil disposed on the support member, and an encapsulant encapsulating the support member and the internal coil; and

an external electrode disposed on an external surface of the body and connected to the internal coil,

wherein the external electrode includes a conductive resin layer and a double conductive layer of a first conductive layer and a second conductive layer, disposed between the conductive resin layer and the internal coil,

wherein the first conductive layer is disposed on a side surface of the body without extending onto at least one of an upper or lower surface of the body,

wherein the second conductive layer includes a first portion disposed on the side surface and a second portion having a reduced-thickness which extends from the first portion onto the upper and lower surfaces, and

wherein the conductive resin layer is disposed on the second portion.

2. The inductor of claim 1 , wherein the conductive resin layer includes a resin and metal particles dispersed in the resin.

3. The inductor of claim 1 , wherein the conductive resin layer is a silver (Ag)-epoxy resin layer.

4. The inductor of claim 1 , wherein an end portion of the support member exposed to the outside of the body is in indirect contact with the conductive resin layer.

5. The inductor of claim 1 , wherein the first conductive layer is in direct contact with the internal coil and is made of a single metal or an alloy.

6. The inductor of claim 5 , wherein the first conductive layer and the internal coil are made of the same material.

7. The inductor of claim 5 , wherein the first conductive layer contains copper (Cu).

8. The inductor of claim 1 , wherein each of both end portions of the support member in contact with the external electrode includes a penetrating portion.

9. The inductor of claim 8 , wherein the penetrating portion is filled with a lead out portion of the internal coil.

10. The inductor of claim 1 , further comprising a nickel layer disposed on the conductive resin layer and a tin layer disposed on the nickel layer.

11. The inductor of claim 10 , wherein the nickel layer extends beyond the conductive resin layer on the upper surface and the lower surface of the body, and the tin layer extends beyond the nickel layer on the upper surface and the lower surface of the body.

12. The inductor of claim 1 , wherein the second conductive layer covers a surface of the first conductive layer and is in contact with the conductive resin layer.

13. The inductor of claim 12 , wherein the second conductive layer is disposed on corners surrounded by the conductive resin layer.

14. The inductor of claim 12 , wherein the second conductive layer contains nickel (Ni).

15. The inductor of claim 12 , wherein the second conductive layer contains a noble metal.

16. The inductor of claim 12 , further comprising an insulating layer disposed on a surface of the internal coil, in contact with the first conductive layer, and arranged between the internal coil and encapsulant.

17. The inductor of claim 16 , wherein the conductive resin layer extends beyond the second conductive layer on the upper surface and the lower surface of the body.

18. The inductor of claim 17 , further comprising a nickel layer disposed on the conductive resin layer and a tin layer disposed on the nickel layer, wherein the nickel layer extends beyond the conductive resin layer on the upper surface and the lower surface of the body, and the tin layer extends beyond the nickel layer on the upper surface and the lower surface of the body.

19. The inductor of claim 12 , wherein the second conductive layer includes a first layer and a second layer.
