Abstract

A coil component includes a body including magnetic metal powder particles and an insulating resin; a coil portion embedded in the body; and first and second external electrodes respectively disposed on the body to be spaced apart from each other and respectively connected to both end portions of the coil portion. A magnetic metal powder particle exposed from a surface of the body, among the magnetic metal powder particles, has a plating prevention film formed on at least a portion of a surface thereof and containing metal ions of the exposed magnetic metal powder particle.
