Abstract
An inductor component includes a body that includes a magnetic layer, an inductor wire that is provided in the body, and a vertical wire that is provided in the body and that extends to a first principal surface from a contact portion of the vertical wire that is in contact with the inductor wire. The vertical wire is in contact with the inductor wire in such a manner as to extend over a first side surface and a third side surface of the inductor wire.
Claims20
An inductor component comprising:
- a body that includes a magnetic layer and that has a first principal surface and a second principal surface;
- an inductor wire that extends along a predetermined plane in the body;
- and
- a vertical wire that is provided in the body, that is in contact with the inductor wire, and that extends to the first principal surface from a contact portion of the vertical wire that is in contact with the inductor wire,
- wherein
- the second principal surface is located on a side opposite to the first principal surface with the inductor wire interposed between the second principal surface and the first principal surface,
- a direction along both a transverse section of the inductor wire and the predetermined plane is defined as a width direction of the inductor wire, the transverse section of the inductor wire being orthogonal to a direction of extension of the inductor wire, and
- a direction orthogonal to the width direction of the inductor wire, among directions along the transverse section of the inductor wire, is defined as a thickness direction of the inductor wire, and
- the inductor wire includes:
- a first side surface that is located on a first side in the width direction,
- a second side surface that is located on a second side in the width direction,
- a third side surface that is located between the first side surface and the second side surface in the width direction, and that is located closer to the first principal surface in the thickness direction than both the first side surface and the second side surface, and
- a fourth side surface that is located between the first side surface and the second side surface in the width direction, and that is located closer to the second principal surface in the thickness direction than both the first side surface and the second side surface, and
- the vertical wire is in contact with the inductor wire so as to extend over the first side surface and the third side surface.
