Gapped core, coil component using same, and method for manufacturing coil component

A gapped core comprising a main body and a segment that are obtained by a molded core including an annular magnetic body made of a magnetic material and a resin covering part that covers the magnetic body being cut at a first cutting part and a second cutting part that transect an outer peripheral surface and an inner peripheral surface and approach each other in an inner peripheral direction of the molded core, the main body having a main body-side first end face formed by cutting at the first cutting part and a main body-side second end face formed by cutting at the second cutting part, and the segment having a segment-side first end face formed by cutting at the first cutting part and a segment-side second end face formed by cutting at the second cutting part, wherein the segment is disposed in a cutout part formed between the main body-side first end face and the main body-side second end face of the main body, the main body-side first end face and the segment-side first end face and/or the main body-side second end face and the segment-side second end face oppose each other across a gap, the magnetic body is a powder compression molded body made of a magnetic material, and the resin covering part is formed by an insert-molding method or a resin powder coating method, a nonmagnetic spacer is inserted between the main body-side first end face and the segment-side first end face, and the spacer is a first resin plate that is inserted between the main body-side first end face and the segment-side first end face, the first resin plate being integrally formed with an attachment that covers at least at an inner peripheral side, an outer peripheral side or a lateral side of the segment.

• wherein the segment is disposed in a cutout part formed between the main body-side first end face and the main body-side second end face of the main body,
• the main body-side first end face and the segment-side first end face and/or the main body-side second end face and the segment-side second end face oppose each other across a gap, and
• the resin covering part has a main body-side flange part that projects toward the outer peripheral side and/or the lateral side from an end edge on the main body-side second end face side, and a segment-side flange part that projects toward the outer peripheral side and/or the lateral side from an end face on the segment-side second end face side.
