Optionally, the magnet 100 may be a ferrite magnet, so that the inductor device 10 has good impact resistance and durability without damage.

[0033] The two metal terminals 300 are arranged opposite to each other and at least on the side of the magnet 100. A slot 301 is provided on the side of the metal terminal 300 facing away from the magnet 100. The lead end 220 of the winding 200 passes through the metal terminal 300 and is engaged in the slot 301 to electrically connect the metal terminal 300 with the lead end 220. Specifically, the metal terminal 300 is formed by integral pressing, and the metal terminal 300 is made of a conductive material, and the conductive material includes at least one of copper, silver and nickel, but is not limited thereto; each metal terminal 300 includes a first metal part 310 and a first bending part 320 connected to the first metal part 310, the first metal part 310 is located on the side, and the first bending part 320 is located on the bottom surface 120, wherein the first metal part 310 is a side electrode, and the first bending part 320 is a bottom electrode; the card slot 301 includes a first receiving slot 302 and a second receiving slot 303 connected to the first receiving slot 302, the first receiving slot 302 is located on the first metal part 310, and the second card slot 301 is located on the first bending part 320; the lead-out end 220 arranged in the second receiving slot 303 faces away from the magnet The surface of the lead end 220 disposed in the first accommodating groove 302 away from the magnet 100 is flush with the surface of the first bent portion 320 facing away from the magnet 100, or the surface of the lead end 220 disposed in the second accommodating groove 303 away from the magnet 100 is lower than the surface of the first bent portion 320 facing away from the magnet 100; further, the surface of the lead end 220 disposed in the first accommodating groove 302 away from the magnet 100 is flush with the surface of the first metal portion 310 facing away from the magnet 100, or the surface of the lead end 220 disposed in the first accommodating groove 302 away from the magnet 100 is lower than the surface of the first metal portion 310 facing away from the magnet 100, that is, the surface of the lead end 220 facing away from the magnet 100 is not higher than the side of the metal terminal 300 facing away from the magnet 100, that is, the thickness of the lead end 220 is equal to or lower than the slot height of the slot 301. After the lead end 220 passes through the magnet 100, the lead end 220 is bent from the top surface 110 toward the bottom surface 120, and this bent portion of the lead end 220 is set in the first accommodating groove 302. Then, the lead end 220 extending out of the first accommodating groove 302 continues to be bent, and this portion of the lead end 220 is bent from the outside of the magnet 100 toward the inside of the magnet 100 to engage in the second accommodating groove 303.

[0034] In the present application, by setting the metal terminal 300 serving as an electrode at least on the side of the magnet 100, a reverse magnetic field can be generated by the induced current generated by the metal terminal 300 to offset the original magnetic field, thereby reducing the magnetic field strength passing through the metal terminal 300, and further reducing the risk of electromagnetic leakage in the inductor 10. At the same time, because the metal terminal 300 is set on the side of the magnet 100, the metal terminal 300 is exposed to the outside of the magnet 100, so that the welding position of the metal terminal 300 and the lead-out terminal 220 can be located on the side of the magnet 100 instead of at the bottom of the magnet 100, so that when performing automatic optical inspection (AOI) testing, there is no blind spot in the test, which is convenient for achieving the requirements of AOI full testing, thereby ensuring the safety and reliability of the inductor 10.

[0035] In the present application, by using the metal terminal 300 provided in the present application as an electrode instead of using the lead end 220 as an electrode, the area of ​​the electrode is increased, and at the same time, the side electrode can be tinned, so that when the inductor device 10 is mounted on the circuit board, the connection strength between the two is increased, avoiding the risk of the inductor device 10 falling off, thereby improving the service life of the product.

[0036] In the present application, the surface of the lead-out end 220 facing away from the magnet 100 arranged in the second accommodating groove 303 is set to be no higher than the surface of the first bent portion 320 facing away from the magnet 100, so as to ensure that the surface of the metal terminal 300 and the surface of the lead-out end 220 are in the same plane, that is, the coplanarity of the electrodes is reduced, thereby avoiding warping during subsequent soldering to the PCB board, thereby improving the performance of the inductor device 10.

[0037] In the present application, a first bending portion 320 located on the top surface 110 is provided on one side of the first metal portion 310, and a second accommodating groove 303 is provided on the first bending portion 320, so that the lead-out end 220 can be better connected to the metal terminal 300 and the risk of an open circuit is reduced.

[0038] In existing inductance devices, the lead-out ends of the windings are usually bent to form electrodes. However, because the electrodes are formed on the magnets, excessive force cannot be used to process the lead-out ends to avoid the risk of damage to the magnets. Moreover, after the lead-out ends are bent multiple times, it is difficult to ensure that the springback is completely consistent, which in turn makes it difficult to ensure the coplanarity of the electrodes, thereby reducing the yield of the inductance device. In the present application, by using the metal terminal 300 as the electrode, the metal terminal 300 can be pressed and formed in advance, and the pressed metal terminal 300 can be connected to the lead-out end 220 without being formed by bending, so that the coplanarity of the electrodes can be better controlled within the specification range, thereby reducing the yield of the inductance device 10. In addition, since a card slot 301 is provided on the outer surface of the metal terminal 300, and the thickness of the lead-out terminal 220 is set to be smaller than the slot height of the card slot 301 or equal to the slot height of the card slot 301, the electrode coplanarity of the inductor device is further controlled within the specification range, thereby further ensuring the yield of the inductor device 10, thereby further ensuring the performance of the inductor device 10.

[0039] In one embodiment, a notch 311 is provided at one end of the first metal portion 310 away from the first bending portion 320, and the lead end 220 passes through the notch 311 to engage in the slot 301. The notch 311 exposes a portion of the magnet 100. The setting of the notch 311 allows the lead end 220 to pass through the side of the magnet 100 without passing through the bottom surface 120 of the magnet 100, so as to facilitate the processing of the inductor device 10.

[0040] In one embodiment, the metal terminal 300 further includes a second bending portion 330, which is connected to a side of the first metal portion 310 away from the first bending portion 320, and is disposed on the top surface 110. Furthermore, two second bending portions 330 are spaced apart and are connected to the first metal portion 310 on both sides of the notch 311.

Optionally, the positions of the first side 130, the second side 140, the third side 150 and the fourth side 160 can be interchanged.

[0042] In one embodiment, the metal terminal 300 further includes a third bending portion 350 connected to the second metal portion 340, the third bending portion 350 is arranged on the top surface 110 and the bottom surface 120, the third bending portion 350 located on the bottom surface 120 is spaced apart from the first bending portion 320, and the third bending portion 350 located on the top surface 110 is spaced apart from the second bending portion 330, wherein at least one third bending portion 350 can be used as an external electrode, and the external electrode is used to be mounted on a circuit board. Furthermore, there is a recessed portion between the second metal portion 340 connected to the third bending portion 350 located on the bottom surface 120 and the first metal portion 310 connected to the first bending portion 320, and there is also a recessed portion between the second metal portion 340 connected to the third bending portion 350 located on the top surface 110 and the first metal portion 310 connected to the second bending portion 330.

[0044] In one embodiment, protrusions 331 are disposed on both sides of the end of the second bending portion 330 away from the first metal portion 310 , so that the metal terminal 300 can be well engaged with the magnet 100 .

[0045] In one embodiment, the inductor device 10 further includes a cover plate 400, which is disposed on the top surface 110. Specifically, the cover plate 400 is made of plastic, and the cover plate 400 is bonded to the top surface 110, the second bending portion 330, and the third bending portion 350 of the magnet 100 by an adhesive to protect the metal terminal 300 and the lead-out terminal 220 on the top surface 110.

[0046] In one embodiment, the metal terminal 300 also includes a connecting metal part, which is in the shape of an arc. The opposite sides of the connecting metal part are respectively connected to the first metal part 310 and the second metal part 340, and the connecting metal part is located at the junction of adjacent side surfaces of the magnet 110.
