Method For Manufacturing Electronic Component With Coil

An inductor comprising:

• a T-shaped core;
• an air-core coil that is assembled with the T-shaped core, the air-core coil having:
• a coil member that is formed by winding a flat rectangular wire, the coil member having first and second sides opposite to each other, the coil member having a coil axis;
• and
• first and second leads that are formed by the flat rectangular wire and that are integrally connected to the coil member, the first and second leads respectively having:
• first and second bent members at the first side;
• first and second ends at the second side;
• and
• first and second bottom extensions respectively connected between the first and second bent members and the first and second ends;
• and
• a mixture of a composite magnetic material and a resin, the mixture embedding the T-shaped core and the air-core coil, wherein
• the first and second bent members extend in a first direction parallel to the coil axis,
• the first and second ends extend in a second direction parallel to the coil axis, and
• the first and second bottom extensions extend perpendicular to the coil axis.
