Coil component and method for manufacturing coil component

A coil component comprising:

• a drum-shaped core including a core portion that extends in a length direction of the coil component and a first flange portion provided on a first end portion of the core portion in the length direction;
• a first wire and a second wire which each have a first end and a second end, the first wire and the second wire being wound around the core portion;
• a first terminal electrode that is provided on the first flange portion and to which the first end of the first wire is connected;
• and
• a second terminal electrode that is provided on the first flange portion and to which the first end of the second wire is connected,
• wherein:
• the first flange portion includes:
• an inner surface that faces toward the core portion,
• an end surface that faces away from the inner surface,
• a bottom surface and a top surface that face away from each other in a height direction that is orthogonal to the length direction,
• a pair of side surfaces that face away from each other in a width direction that is orthogonal to the length direction and the height direction,
• a first main portion provided on the first end portion of the core portion,
• a first leg portion and a second leg portion that project from the first main portion in the height direction, and
• a main-portion bottom surface of the first main portion that faces toward the bottom surface, and a pair of inside surfaces of the first leg portion and the second leg portion that face each other,
• wherein the first main portion, the first leg portion, and the second leg portion surround and define a first crotch portion when viewed from the end surface, and the bottom surface includes a first bottom surface of the first leg portion and a second bottom surface of the second leg portion,
• the first terminal electrode and the second terminal electrode each include a base electrode on a surface of the first flange portion and a plating layer that covers the base electrode,
• the base electrode includes a bottom-surface base electrode portion on the bottom surface, an end-surface base electrode portion on the end surface, and a side-surface base electrode portion on each of the side surfaces,
• the end-surface base electrode portion has a height greater than a height of the first crotch portion,
• the side-surface base electrode portion has a height less than the height of the first crotch portion,
• the base electrode further includes an inner-surface base electrode portion on the inner surface,
• the height of the end-surface base electrode portion is equal to a height of the inner-surface base electrode portion,
• the height of the inner-surface base electrode portion is greater than the height of the first crotch portion and less than a height of a lower surface of the core portion,
• the base electrode includes an inside-surface base electrode portion on each of the inside surfaces, and
• the inside-surface base electrode portion has a height less than a height of the inside surfaces.
