Abstract

A hook constituted by a guide groove formed in a substantially center of a lower surface is provided in a lower portion of a first projection (22), a terminal end (13a) of a coil (13) is bent along both right and left side surfaces and a lower surface of the first projection (22), and the terminal end (13a) is fitted and inserted to the guide groove at this time, whereby a terminal end treatment of the coil (13) is performed. Further, second projections (24) having a horizontal cross section formed in a rectangular shape are integrally formed in a center left end of a left flange (21) and a center right end of a right flange (21), an inclined surface (24a) is formed downward on right side surfaces of both of the second projections (24), and the inclined surface (24a) slides an inner peripheral edge of a second through hole at a time of inserting the second projection (24) to a second through hole in a printed circuit board side.

Dependent claims

A coil element having a bobbin and a coil wound around the bobbin and electrically connected to a wiring pattern formed on a printed circuit board, said coil element comprising:

a first projection and a second projection formed in said bobbin and respectively inserted to a first through hole and a second through hole pierced in said printed circuit board, said first through hole having the wiring pattern formed on one side of the inner periphery thereof;
a hook portion formed in said first projection and with which a terminal end portion of said coil is hooked;
and
a pressing member formed in said second projection, wherein said pressing member has an inclined surface interacting with an inner peripheral edge of said second through hole when inserted therein such that the bobbin is displaced over a surface of the printed circuit board in order to press the terminal end portion of said coil hooked over the hook portion of said first projection against the wiring pattern formed on one side of the inner periphery of said first through hole.
