Coil component and electronic/electric apparatus

Abstract

A coil component exhibits an excellent overall characteristic when used as an inductance element. The coil component includes first and second coil conductors aligned in a first direction, each of which has a first spiral portion moving around an axis extending along the first direction and away from the axis; a via member electrically connecting the first coil conductor and the second coil conductor; a first terminal member electrically connected to the first coil conductor; and a second terminal member electrically connected to the second coil conductor. The first spiral portion has a first high winding part, and a first low winding part having a number of turns less than that of the first high winding part. A turn in the first low winding part has a portion having a turn width greater than that of a turn in the first high winding part when viewed in the first direction.
