At this time, the circuit board 14 does not need to cross the first coil 12 to connect with the second coil 13. The circuit board 14 can be directly connected to the first end and the second end of the second coil 13. The first end and the second end of the semi-enclosed first coil 12 are respectively located on both sides of the circuit board 14, that is, the semi-enclosed first coil 12 is arranged across the circuit board 14, thereby forming another structure of the coil device 1.
