Coil component

A coil component comprising:

• a support member having a main surface with a coil disposed thereon, the main surface being wider than other surfaces of the support member;
• a body formed of a magnetic material, wherein the support member and coil are disposed within the body;
• and
• an external electrode disposed on an external surface of the body and contacting a lead portion of the coil,
• wherein a thickness of the support member, measured orthogonally to the surface of the support member having the coil disposed thereon, is gradually reduced in a direction towards a position closer to the external electrode from a position further from the external electrode.

A coil component comprising:

• a support member having a main surface with a coil disposed thereon;
• a body formed of a magnetic material, wherein the support member and coil are disposed within the body;
• and
• an external electrode disposed on an external surface of the body and contacting a lead portion of the coil,
• wherein a thickness of the support member, measured orthogonally to the main surface of the support member having the coil disposed thereon, is smaller at a position closer to the external electrode than at a position further from the external electrode,
• the coil includes a coil body having a plurality of coil windings and the lead portion extending from the coil body to the external electrode,
• the thickness of the support member in an area having the lead portion disposed thereon is smaller than the thickness of the support member in another area having the coil body disposed thereon, and
• an angle between the main surface of the support member and a side surface of the support member in the area having the lead portion disposed thereon is acute.

A coil component comprising:

• a body including a coil and a magnetic material, the coil disposed on a main surface of a support member and including at least one lead portion disposed on the main surface of the support member;
• and
• an external electrode disposed on at least a portion of an external surface of the body and having an internal surface contacting and electrically connected to the at least one lead portion of the coil,
• wherein a first portion of the support member having a first portion of the coil disposed thereon has a first thickness measured orthogonally to the main surface, and a second portion of the support member having a second portion of the coil disposed thereon has a second thickness different from the first thickness, and
• wherein the at least one lead portion extends to an edge of the main surface of the support member, and the main surface of the support member forms an acute angle with a side surface of the support member along the edge of the main surface of the support member having the at least one lead portion thereon.
