and a flange part provided on an axial-direction end of the winding shaft, which has an exterior face on the opposite side of the winding shaft, first and second side faces, and first and second groove parts provided on the exterior face and having a cut-out part on each the first and second side faces; a coil part including: a winding part of a conductor wound around the winding shaft; and two lead parts of the conductor led out from the winding part; and two terminal parts formed on the exterior face of the flange part; wherein the two lead parts are led in from the cut-out parts on the first and second side faces and fitted inside the groove parts, respectively, on the exterior face, and included in the pair of terminal parts, respectively. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A coil component comprising: a core part including: a winding shaft; and a flange part provided on an axial-direction end of the winding shaft, wherein the flange part has: an exterior face on an opposite side of the winding shaft, a pair of a first side face and a second side face that are adjoining the exterior face and located opposite to each other, and first and second groove parts provided on the exterior face, which are isolated from each other or connected to each other on the exterior face, wherein the first and second groove parts extend to the first side face and the second side face, respectively, via a cut-out part provided on each of the first side face and the second side face; a coil part including: a winding part constituted by a conductor with an insulating film, which is wound around the winding shaft; and a pair of lead parts that are portions of the conductor led out from the winding part; and a pair of terminal parts formed on the exterior face of the flange part; wherein one of the pair of lead parts is led in from the cut-out part on the first side face of the flange part and fitted inside the first groove part provided on the exterior face, and included in one of the pair of terminal parts; and another of the pair of lead parts is led in from the cut-out part on the second side face of the flange part and fitted inside the second groove part provided on the exterior face, and included in another of the pair of terminal parts, wherein the first and second groove parts are connected to each other on the exterior face and represent one groove part having the cut-out parts on the first side face and the second side face, respectively. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The coil component according to claim 1, wherein the first and second groove parts are isolated from each other on the exterior face and represent two groove parts, each having the cut-out part on either the first side face or the second side face. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The coil component according to claim 2, wherein the two groove parts are aligned along one straight line roughly parallel with one side of the exterior face as viewed toward the exterior face in the axial direction of the winding shaft. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The coil component according to claim 1, wherein the first and second groove parts are provided at positions where the first and second groove parts partially overlap the winding shaft as viewed toward the exterior face in the axial direction of the winding shaft. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The coil component according to claim 4, wherein the first and second groove parts are provided in a manner fitting inside positions entirely overlapping the winding shaft in a width direction of the first and second groove parts as viewed toward the exterior face in the axial direction of the winding shaft. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The coil component according to claim 1, wherein: the winding shaft is provided in a manner that a center axis of the winding shaft is offset from a center of the exterior face; and the first and second groove parts are provided in a manner offset in a direction opposite to a direction in which the center axis is offset from the center of the exterior face. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) An electronic device comprising: the coil component of claim 1; and a circuit board on which the coil component is mounted.
