Abstract

A coil component includes: a body including magnetic metal particles and an insulating resin; a coil portion disposed within the body and including a lead-out portion exposed to one surface of the body; a surface insulation layer disposed on the body and having an opening exposing each of at least a portion of the lead-out portion and at least a portion of the one surface of the body; and an external electrode disposed in the opening and connected to the lead-out portion, wherein a connection metal layer in which at least some of the magnetic metal particles are connected to each other is disposed in a region of the one surface of the body, exposed in the opening, and an area of a metal component including the connection metal layer in the region is 75% or more of an area of the region.

Claims (37)

1 . A coil component comprising:

a body including magnetic metal particles and an insulating resin;

a coil portion disposed within the body and including a lead-out portion exposed to one surface of the body;

a surface insulation layer disposed on the body and having an opening exposing at least a portion of the lead-out portion and at least a portion of the one surface of the body; and

an external electrode disposed in the opening and connected to the lead-out portion,

wherein the body includes a connection metal layer in a region of the body adjacent to the one surface of the body, wherein the connection metal layer includes a connection metal layer particle in which at least some of the magnetic metal particles are connected to each other,

an area ratio of a metal component including the connection metal layer particles in the region is 75% or more of an area of the region,

the magnetic metal particles include a first magnetic metal particle and a second magnetic metal particle having a smaller diameter than the first magnetic metal particle,

a diameter of the connection metal layer particle is twice or more than a diameter of the first magnetic metal particle, and

an average particle diameter of the first and second magnetic metal particles are in a range from 0.1 μm to 30 μm.

2 . The coil component of claim 1 , wherein the one surface of the body has a level indented inwardly than a region of the body covered by the surface insulation layer.

3 . The coil component of claim 1 , further comprising a board which is placed within the body and on at least one surface of which the coil portion is disposed.

4 . The coil component of claim 3 , further comprising an insulating film disposed between the coil portion and the body.

5 . The coil component of claim 1 , wherein the coil portion is a wound coil.

6 . The coil component of claim 1 , wherein the external electrode is in contact with each of the connection metal layer and the lead-out portion.

7 . The coil component of claim 6 , wherein the lead-out portion includes a first lead-out portion exposed to the one surface of the body, and a second lead-out portion exposed to other surface of the body opposing the one surface,

the opening includes a first opening exposing each of one region of the one surface of the body and the first lead-out portion, and a second opening exposing each of one region of the other surface of the body and the second lead-out portion,

the connection metal layer is formed in each of the one region of the one surface of the body and the one region of the other surface of the body, and

the external electrode includes a first external electrode disposed in the first opening and in contact with the first lead-out portion, and a second external electrode disposed in the second opening and in contact with the second lead-out portion.

8 . The coil component of claim 7 , wherein the first and second openings are respectively extended to a connection surface of the body, connecting the one surface and the other surface of the body to each other, and spaced apart from each other in the connection surface of the body.

9 . The coil component of claim 6 , wherein the lead-out portion includes first and second lead-out portions exposed to the one surface of the body, while being spaced apart from each other,

the opening includes a first opening exposing one region of the one surface of the body and a first lead-out portion, and a second opening exposing another region of the one surface of the body and a second lead-out portion,

the connection metal layer is formed in each of the one region and the another region of the one surface of the body, and

the external electrode includes a first external electrode disposed in the first opening and in contact with the first lead-out portion, and a second external electrode disposed in the second opening and in contact with the second lead-out portion.

10 . The coil component of claim 6 , wherein the external electrode has a first electrode layer in contact with each of the connection metal layer and the lead-out portion, and a second electrode layer disposed on the first electrode layer.

11 . The coil component of claim 10 , wherein the first electrode layer comprises copper (Cu).

12 . A coil component comprising:

a body including: a first magnetic particles; a second magnetic particles having a smaller diameter than a diameter of the first magnetic metal particle; and an insulating resin;

a coil portion disposed within the body and including a lead-out portion exposed to one surface of the body;

a surface insulation layer disposed on the body and having an opening exposing at least a portion of the lead-out portion and at least a portion of the one surface of the body; and

an external electrode disposed in the opening and connected to the lead-out portion,

wherein the body includes a connection metal layer in a region of the body adjacent to the one surface of the body,

the connection metal layer includes a connection metal layer particle having a diameter that is twice or more than the diameter of the first magnetic metal particle, and

an average particle diameter of the first and second magnetic metal particles are in a range from 0.1 μm to 30 μm.

13 . The coil component of claim 12 , wherein an area of a metal component in a region of the connection metal layer is 75% or more of an entire area of the region.

14 . The coil component of claim 12 , wherein the one surface of the body has a level indented inwardly than a region of the body covered by the surface insulation layer.

15 . The coil component of claim 12 , wherein the external electrode is in contact with each of the connection metal layer and the lead-out portion.
