Claim 12:
13. An inductor comprising:
a magnetic body; a coil pattern embedded in the magnetic body;
a first external electrode and a second external electrode disposed on a first surface of the magnetic body to be respectively connected to both ends of the coil pattern; and
a support member disposed inside the magnetic body to support the coil pattern in a thickness direction of the magnetic body,
wherein when “a” denotes a distance from a central surface between top and bottom surfaces of the support member to a second surface of the magnetic body opposing the first surface of the magnetic body in the thickness direction, and “b” denotes a distance from the central surface of the support member to the first surface of the magnetic body in the thickness direction, b/a≥1.5, and
wherein a rest of surfaces of the magnetic body except the first surface are free of any portion of the first and second external electrodes.
