Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

A noise removal portion is introduced as an intermediary element between the coil portion and external environment. This noise removal portion, when viewed from a direction perpendicular to the winding direction of the coil portion, has an area that is 10% to (90-W%) of a total area W%, where W is the width of the coil portion in the winding direction. This specific area ratio ensures effective noise suppression while maintaining device performance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The noise removal portion is strategically positioned and sized to provide localized noise suppression exactly where needed. By configuring the noise removal portion to have a specific area ratio (10% to (90-W%) of total area W%) when viewed from the direction perpendicular to the winding direction, the design achieves targeted noise removal without affecting overall device performance.

Solution Approach 1:

The noise removal portion is merged with the coil component body as an integrated structure. When viewed from a direction perpendicular to the winding direction of the coil portion, the noise removal portion occupies a specific area ratio (10% to (90-W%) of total area W%), and this integrated design eliminates the need for separate noise removal components, thereby reducing overall device complexity while maintaining effective noise suppression.

Solution Approach 1:

The design optimizes the area parameter of the noise removal portion by defining it as a specific ratio (10% to (90-W%) of total area W%) when viewed from the direction perpendicular to the winding direction. This parameter-based approach ensures that the noise removal portion is large enough to be effective while consuming minimal component area, achieving optimal noise removal efficiency within constrained space.
