Abstract
A coil device includes a winding core, a flange, and a terminal fitting. The winding core is wound by a wire. The flange is formed at an end of the winding core in its axial direction. The terminal fitting is attached to the flange. The terminal fitting includes an engagement part engaged with a circumferential wall part of the flange.
Claims8
A coil device comprising:
- a winding core (i) wound by a wire, (ii) having a winding core axis that is a longitudinal axis of a winding of the wire on the winding core and (iii) having a first end surface at an end of the winding core along the winding core axis;
- a flange having (i) an inner end surface connected to the first end surface, (ii) an outer end surface spaced from and opposite to the inner end surface, (iii) a lateral exterior surface connecting the inner end surface and the outer end surface, and (iv) a mounting surface configured to face to a mounting board and arranged perpendicular to the inner end surface, the outer end surface and the lateral exterior surface;
- and
- a terminal fitting attached to the flange, wherein:
- the terminal fitting includes:
- an engagement part having (i) a first portion in contact with the inner end surface, (ii) a second portion in contact with the outer end surface, and (iii) a third portion in contact with the lateral exterior surface, and
- a protrusion plate part connected to the engagement part;
- the third portion extends between and connects the first portion and the second portion;
- the engagement part and the flange are configured such that the first portion and the second portion apply a clamping force on the inner end surface and the outer end surface to affix the engagement part to the flange;
- the protrusion plate part includes (i) a mounting part extending along the mounting surface and configured to be connected to the mounting board and (ii) a connection part extending along the lateral exterior surface between the mounting part and the engagement part;
- and
- the mounting part is connected to a lead end of the wire.
