Abstract
An inductor component includes cores, a coil disposed in the cores, and terminal electrodes. The coil includes first metal plates disposed on an upper surface of the cores, second metal plates disposed on a lower surface of the cores, and a plurality of metal pins each passing through one of the cores in a thickness direction. The coil has a helical shape by connecting the first metal plates to the second metal plates, with the plurality of metal pins therebetween. The terminal electrodes are spaced apart along a direction in which the helical shape extends, and are connected to the coil.
