Abstract
The present invention provides an electronic chip component (e.g., a chip inductor) small in size, and a manufacturing method thereof capable of shaping of the outer dimensions of the component into a desirable shape. The method involves press-fitting a chip inductor element into a component storage section of a mold plate comprised of a heat resistant rubber elastic member including the component storage section, while a resin coating material is coated on the element and dried to a dry-to-touch state, thereby hardening the resin coating material and automatically shaping the chip inductor element into a desired outer shape.
Claims3
An electronic chip component comprising:
- an element having flanges on longitudinal both ends, respectively, and an outer packaging material coating a periphery of said element having a circumferential thin portion and circumferential thick portion,
- wherein a dimensional ratio (t2/t1) of a thickness (t1) of a circumferential thin portion of the outer packaging material formed on the outer periphery of the element to a thickness (t2) of a thick portion of the outer packaging material is not less than 2 so that at least part of the respective flanges are exposed.
