Claim:
1. An inductor configured to be mounted on a printed circuit board, the inductor comprising: a drum core comprising a cylindrical body and first and second flanges extending from opposite ends of the cylindrical body; a coil wound around the cylindrical body; a plurality of pins on which opposite ends of the coil are wound, wherein each of the plurality of pins has one end fixed to the second flange and another end configured to be fixed to the printed circuit board; and at least one projection which protrudes from the second flange in an axial direction of the cylindrical body and contacts a surface of the printed circuit board to support the inductor such that the axial direction of the cylindrical body is perpendicular to the surface of the printed circuit board, wherein the at least one projection is configured to directly project from the second flange without a base part interposed between the at least one projection and the second flange and to have a shape to keep the axial direction of the cylindrical body perpendicular to the surface of the printed circuit board without using the base part and the plurality of pins.
