Solution Overview

Problem

Existing adhesives used in coil components with magnetic powder face challenges in achieving high permeability while maintaining manageable viscosity, leading to difficulties in handling and application.

Innovation Solution

An adhesive comprising a bisphenol F resin, a curing agent, and magnetic powder, with a volume ratio of magnetic powder to adhesive at 35 vol % or lower, and a number average molecular weight of the bisphenol F resin between 312 to 360 g/mol.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the proportion of magnetic powder contained in an adhesive is increased to achieve higher permeability, then the permeability is improved, but the viscosity of the adhesive becomes excessively high making it difficult to handle during application

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovepermeabilityVSAvoidhandleability
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by carefully controlling the volume ratio of magnetic powder to adhesive at 35 vol % or lower, and by specifying a narrow molecular weight range (312 to 360 g/mol) for the bisphenol F resin. These parameter optimizations balance permeability enhancement with viscosity control, ensuring the adhesive remains handleable during application while achieving sufficiently high permeability for coil component manufacturing.

2Reliability

If the viscosity of the adhesive is increased to achieve higher permeability, then the permeability is improved, but the adhesive becomes stringy between the jig and top plate during application

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent resolves this contradiction by optimizing the molecular weight parameter of the bisphenol F resin to 312 to 360 g/mol and controlling the magnetic powder volume ratio at 35 vol % or lower. These parameter changes prevent excessive viscosity increase that would cause stringiness during application, while still achieving the required permeability for functional performance in coil components.
