AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

This patent aims to provide a surface mount inductor that can prevent the increase of direct current resistance and ensure good quality conformance.

Problems solved by technology

The above-described existing surface mount inductor is found to have the following problem in an actual use.
This structure thus has a problem of an increase in direct current resistance of the external terminals.
However, since the coil is disposed so that the axis of the wound portion is perpendicular to the mount surface of the compact, the feeder end portions need to be subjected to forming processing involving a considerable deformation, which causes a problem in quality of conformance

first embodiment

[0040]FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a surface mount inductor according to the first embodiment. As illustrated in FIG. 1, a surface mount inductor 1 includes a compact 10, a spiral coil 20, disposed inside the compact 10, and a first external terminal 30 and a second external terminal 40, which are disposed on the compact 10 and electrically connected to the coil 20.

[0041]The surface mount inductor 1 is electrically connected to a wire of a circuit board, not illustrated, through the first and second external terminals 30 and 40. The surface mount inductor 1 is used as, for example, an inductor or a transformer for a power circuit or a DC / DC converter circuit through which a large current flows, and installed in, for example, a car-mount advanced driver-assistance system (ADAS).

[0042]The compact 10 is substantially rectangular parallelepiped. The compact 10 has surfaces including a first end surface 11, a second end surface 12, opposing the first end surface 11, a first side surfa...

second embodiment

[0069]FIG. 4 is a bottom view of a surface mount inductor according to a second embodiment. The second embodiment differs from the first embodiment in a component of the compact. This different component will now be described below. Other components are the same as those of the first embodiment, and are thus denoted with the same reference signs as those in the first embodiment without being described.

[0070]As illustrated in FIG. 4, in a surface mount inductor 1A according to the second embodiment, an irregular interface 80 is formed on the bottom surface (mount surface) 17 of a compact 10A. FIG. 4 omits illustrations of the external terminals 30 and 40.

[0071]The irregular interface 80 includes multiple gaps arranged irregularly. The gaps are areas that do not include a magnetic powder and a resin. The irregular interface 80 can enhance the withstanding voltage at the bottom surface 17 of the compact 10A.

[0072]The irregular interface 80 extends from the exposed portion of the first ...

third embodiment

[0074]FIG. 5 is a perspective view of a surface mount inductor according to a third embodiment. The third embodiment differs from the first embodiment in a component of the coil. This different component will now be described, below. Other components are the same as those of the first embodiment, and thus are denoted with the same reference signs as those of the first embodiment without being described.

[0075]As illustrated in FIG. 5, in a coil 20B of a surface mount inductor 1B according to the third embodiment, the first feeder end portion 21 and the second feeder end portion 22 are drawn out from the wound portion 23 so as to cross each other. Thus, as in the case of the first embodiment, the first feeder end portion 21 and the second feeder end portion 22 can be drawn out in the winding direction of the wound portion 23, so that the characteristics of the coil 20 can be enhanced.

[0076]The present disclosure is not limited to the above embodiments, and may be changed in design wit...

Abstract

A surface mount inductor includes a coil including a wound portion and a feeder end portion drawn out from the wound portion, a compact that contains a magnetic powder and that encapsulates the coil, and an external terminal disposed on the compact and connected to the coil. The compact has surfaces including two pressed surfaces, opposing each other in a direction of an axis of the wound portion and formed by being pressed in the direction of the axis, and a non-pressed surface, adjacent to the two surfaces and not pressed. The coil is disposed so that the axis of the wound portion is parallel to a mount surface of the compact. The mount surface is included in the non-pressed surface, the feeder end portion is exposed from the mount surface, and the external terminal is formed on only the non-pressed surface and connected to the feeder end portion.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application claims benefit of priority to Japanese Patent Application No. 2018-069270, filed Mar. 30, 2018, the entire content of which is incorporated herein by reference.BACKGROUNDTechnical Field[0002]The present disclosure relates to a surface mount inductor and a method for manufacturing the same.Background Art[0003]An example of a surface mount inductor is described in Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2010-147272. This surface mount inductor includes a coil, a compact that encapsulates the coil therein, and external terminals disposed on the compact and connected to the coil.[0004]The coil includes a wound portion and feeder end portions drawn out from the wound portion. An axis of the wound portion is disposed to be perpendicular to the mount surface of the compact. The external terminals are disposed on the mount surface of the compact and side surfaces of the compact adjacent to the mount surface. The feeder end por...
