Coil component

A coil component comprising:

• a core including a winding core portion, a first flange portion, and a second flange portion;
• at least one wire wound around the winding core portion;
• wherein the winding core portion extends in an axial direction,
• the first flange portion and the second flange portion are at respective end portions of the winding core portion located opposite to each other in the axial direction,
• the first flange portion and the second flange portion each includes a mounting surface, a top surface, an inner end surface, an outer end surface, a first side surface, and a second side surface,
• the mounting surface facing, when the coil component is mounted on a mounting substrate, a side where the mounting substrate is located,
• the top surface facing opposite to the mounting surface,
• the inner end surface connecting the mounting surface and the top surface and facing a side where the winding core portion is located, an end portion of the winding core portion in the axial direction being located at the inner end surface,
• the outer end surface facing opposite to the inner end surface, and
• the first side surface and the second side surface connecting the inner end surface and the outer end surface and facing opposite to each other;
• a first terminal electrode on at least the mounting surface of the first flange portion;
• and
• a second terminal electrode on at least the mounting surface of the second flange portion,
• wherein the wire includes a first end portion extended from the winding core portion in an oblique direction relative to the axial direction when viewed from a side where the mounting surface is located,
• a first flattened portion is in at least a part of the first end portion and is connected to one of the first terminal electrode and the second terminal electrode,
• the first flattened portion has a shape flattened such that a direction of a major axis of a cross sectional shape of the first flattened portion is directed in a direction along the mounting surface,
• a slope is at a boundary portion between the mounting surface and the inner end surface of the first flange portion and extends so as to connect a first middle position and a second middle position, the first middle position being located between the inner end surface and the outer end surface in a direction along the mounting surface, the second middle position being located between the mounting surface and the top surface in a direction along the inner end surface,
• the first flattened portion has a shape that becomes thinner from the winding core portion toward a tip end of the wire, and
• when viewed from the side where the mounting surface is located, a center axis of a part of the first flattened portion closer to the winding core portion extend in different direction from a center axis of a part of the first flattened portion closer to the tip end of the wire.
