Inductor component

Abstract

To provide an inductor component capable of ensuring a high self resonant frequency and suppressing the generation of stray capacitance.SOLUTION: An inductor component includes an element assembly, a coil conductor provided inside the element assembly, and an outer electrode provided on an outer surface of the element assembly and electrically connected to the coil conductor. The element assembly includes a lower surface and a side surface. The outer electrode includes a lower portion provided at the lower surface and a side portion provided at the side surface continuously with the lower portion. The coil conductor includes: a plurality of conductor patterns provided to form a part of an annular path on each of a plurality of virtual inner surfaces intersecting both the lower and the side surface and lined up at intervals; and a connection conductor connecting two adjacent conductor patterns. When a shortest distance between the coil conductor and a boundary portion between the lower portion and the side portion is defined as a distance A and a shortest distance between the coil conductor and an end portion of the lower portion opposite to the boundary portion is defined as a distance B, B / A is 0.2 or more and 0.6 or less.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4
