Abstract
The present invention provides a composite magnetic body containing metallic magnetic powder and thermosetting resin and having a packing ratio of the metallic magnetic powder of 65 vol % to 90 vol % and an electrical resistivity of at least 104 Ω·cm. When a coil is embedded in this composite magnetic body, a miniature magnetic element can be obtained that has a high inductance value and is excellent in DC bias characteristics.
Claims3
A method of manufacturing a magnetic element comprising a composite magnetic body containing metallic magnetic powder and thermosetting resin and having a packing ratio of the metallic magnetic powder of 65 vol % to 90 vol % and an electrical resistivity of at least 104 Ω·cm, and a coil embedded in the composite magnetic body, the method comprising:
- obtaining a mixture including metallic magnetic powder and thermosetting resin present in an uncured state;
- heating the mixture containing the metallic magnetic powder and the thermosetting resin present in the uncured state in a range between 65° C. and 200° C.
- granulating the mixture containing the metallic magnetic powder a the thermosetting resin;
- obtaining a molded body by pressure-molding the mixture to embed the coil;
- and
- curing the thermosetting resin by heating the molded body.
