Coil component

A coil component comprising:

• a core having a winding core part, a first flange part positioned at one axial end of the winding core part, and a second flange part positioned at other axial end of the winding core part;
• a first terminal electrode provided on the first flange part;
• a second terminal electrode provided on the second flange part;
• and
• a wire wound around the winding core part, the wire having a first end connected to the first terminal electrode and a second end connected to the second terminal electrode,
• wherein the winding core part includes a first winding area positioned on the first flange part side, a second winding area positioned on the second flange part side, and a third winding area positioned between the first and second winding areas,
• wherein the third winding area is greater in length in an axial direction than each of the first and second winding areas,
• wherein the wire includes a first section wound around the first winding area, a second section wound around the second winding area, and a third section wound around the third winding area, and
• wherein the third section is less in a number of turns than each of the first and second sections.

A coil component comprising:

• a core extending in an axial direction and having a plurality of winding surfaces perpendicular to the axial direction;
• and
• a wire wound around the core,
• wherein the core includes a first winding area, a second winding area, and a third winding area positioned between the first and second winding areas,
• wherein each of the plurality of winding surfaces in each of the first and second winding areas is covered with the wire, and
• wherein at least one of the plurality of winding surfaces in the third winding area is covered with the wire, and a remaining one or ones of the plurality of winding surfaces in the third winding area is free from the wire.
