Surface mount inductor
A surface mount inductor includes a molded body made of a composite material containing magnetic powder, and a metal plate including a first metal plate portion embedded in the molded body and a second metal plate portion extending from the first metal plate portion to an outside of the molded body. The second metal plate portion is extended from a side surface or mounting surface side of the molded body, is arranged along the molded body with a bent portion, and forms an external terminal arranged at least on the mounting surface side of the molded body. The external terminal includes a plating layer on a surface on an opposite side from a surface facing the molded body, and does not include a plating layer on the surface facing the molded body.
