Inductor manufacturing method

An inductor manufacturing method comprising:

• making a coil with a wire member, said coil including a first end portion and a second end portion,
• bending a dependent segment from said first end portion of said coil, and bending a lateral extension from said dependent segment,
• bending a bent segment from said second end portion of said coil, and bending a lateral segment from said bent segment,
• forming a space between said coil and said lateral extension and said lateral segment of said coil,
• engaging a base member into said space between said coil and said lateral extension and said lateral segment of said coil, for forming a coil assembly,
• engaging said coil assembly into a mold cavity of a mold device,
• filling an iron powder into said mold cavity of said mold device,
• punching said coil assembly and said iron powder to form a prototype,
• disengaging said prototype from said mold cavity of said mold device,
• annealing said prototype,
• lasering said lateral extension and said lateral segment of said coil, and
• electroplating an electroplating layer to said lateral extension and said lateral segment of said coil.
