Inductor element

An inductor element, comprising:

• a wire-winding portion where a conductor is wound in a coil shape;
• and
• a core portion surrounding the wire-winding portion and containing a magnetic powder and a resin,
• wherein the wire-winding portion comprises an inner circumferential surface, an outer circumferential surface, and a first end surface and a second end surface opposite to each other in a winding axis center of the wire-winding portion,
• wherein a winding-wire inner circumferential neighboring region is defined as a region of the core portion within a predetermined distance from the inner circumferential surface toward the winding axis center,
• wherein a winding-wire first end-surface neighboring region is defined as a region of the core portion within a predetermined distance from the first end surface toward an outward direction parallel to the winding axis center,
• wherein a winding-wire second end-surface neighboring region is defined as a region of the core portion within a predetermined distance from the second end surface toward the outward direction,
• wherein an inner-core central region is defined as a region of the core portion within a predetermined distance from the winding axis center toward an existing region of the wire-winding portion in an outward direction perpendicular to the winding axis center, and
• wherein Sα−Sβ1≥5.0% is satisfied, where Sα(%) is an area ratio of a magnetic powder in the inner-core central region, and Sβ1(%) is an area ratio of the magnetic powder in the winding-wire inner circumferential neighboring region.
