Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional coil components fail to achieve desired resonance operations due to magnetic coupling with nearby wiring and electronic components, limiting the size reduction of printed circuit boards.

Innovation Solution

A coil component with a magnetic resin disposed on the mounting surface to suppress magnetic flux leakage and prevent magnetic coupling, while maintaining detection sensitivity by not covering the detecting surface, allowing for a reduction in board size and improved detection sensitivity.

1Area of stationary object

If the coil component is disposed on a printed circuit board with wiring and electronic components in the vicinity, then the board can be compact, but magnetic coupling occurs between the coil component and nearby components, preventing desired resonance operation

Solution Approach 1:

The magnetic resin is selectively disposed only on the mounting surface side of the coil conductor, creating a localized magnetic field confinement structure. This allows the coil component to maintain strong coupling with nearby components for compact board design while the magnetic resin prevents unwanted magnetic flux leakage, enabling desired resonance operation to be achieved.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Reliability

If magnetic resin is disposed on the mounting surface side of the coil conductor, then magnetic flux leakage is suppressed and desired inductance is acquired, but the magnetic resin may interfere with detection sensitivity on the detecting surface side

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The coil component structure is segmented into two distinct surfaces: the mounting surface side where magnetic resin is disposed to suppress magnetic flux leakage and ensure desired inductance, and the detecting surface side where no magnetic resin is disposed to maintain detection sensitivity. This segmentation allows both requirements to be satisfied simultaneously.

AI summary

A coil component includes a mounting surface that is a side mounted on a mounting board and a detecting surface that is a side generating a magnetic field to detect a distance from a detected conductor. The coil component has a coil conductor formed into a spiral shape, and a magnetic resin disposed on the mounting surface side of the coil conductor without being disposed on the detecting surface side of the coil conductor.
