Solution Overview

Problem

Magnetic saturation occurs in magnetic sheets when used instead of non-magnetic PCB substrates, leading to deterioration of DC superimposition characteristics in coil components.

Innovation Solution

A coil component design featuring a metal powder-containing resin element body with overlapping coil structures and a magnetic sheet, where the inner edges of the coil structures back down relative to the magnetic sheet, allowing magnetic flux to circulate and reducing partial concentration, thereby suppressing DC superimposition characteristic deterioration.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by creating a recessed region at the inner edge of the magnetic sheet, where the magnetic sheet thickness is reduced locally. This localized structural modification allows magnetic flux to circulate more effectively in the recessed region, preventing magnetic saturation at critical locations while maintaining the overall magnetic coupling benefits of using a magnetic sheet.

AI summary

Since the magnetic sheet is adopted as the coil component, magnetic saturation is likely to occur in the magnetic sheet, and it is considered that the DC superimposition characteristic of the coil component is deteriorated. However, since the inner edge of the coil structure backs down with respect to the inner edge of the magnetic sheet so that the magnetic flux generated in the coil easily circulates, the deterioration of the DC superimposition characteristics due to the adoption of the magnetic sheet is suppressed.
