Abstract
A coil component includes a bobbin, a magnetic core, a coil, and a cover member attached onto the bobbin along an attachment direction. One of the cover member and the bobbin has a spring piece. The spring piece elastically energizes the other of the cover member and the bobbin. The spring piece extends along the attachment direction and has one end, a contact part, an entering part, and a tip end. The other of the cover member and the bobbin has a convex part and a recessed part. The recessed part is closer to the tip end than the convex part. The contact part contacts and energizes the convex part. The entering part enters the recessed part. The spring piece is bent to generate an energizing force. The cover member energizes the bobbin upward at a contact position by the energizing force.
Claims18
A coil component comprising:
- a bobbin;
- a magnetic core that is inserted into the bobbin;
- a coil that is wound around the bobbin;
- and
- a cover member that is attached onto the bobbin along an attachment direction,
- wherein the cover member has a spring piece, and the spring piece of the cover member elastically energizes the bobbin along a first direction parallel to a mounting surface,
- the spring piece extends along the attachment direction and has one end and a tip end opposite to the one end, and the spring piece has a cantilever structure in which the one end is supported,
- the spring piece further has a contact part and an entering part, the entering part is located closer to the tip end of the spring piece than the contact part, and the entering part is located further in the first direction than the contact part,
- the bobbin has a convex part and a recessed part, the recessed part is recessed in the first direction, and the recessed part is located further in the first direction than the convex part,
- the recessed part is located closer to the tip end of the spring piece than the convex part along the attachment direction,
- the contact part of the spring piece is configured to contact and energize the convex part at a contact position, and the entering part of the spring piece is configured to enter into the recessed part,
- the spring piece is bent to generate an energizing force, and the cover member is configured to energize the bobbin upward at the contact position by the energizing force,
- the spring piece is aligned with the convex part along the first direction, and
- the spring piece is pressed by a tip of the convex portion and is elastically deformed in a direction opposite to the first direction.
