Abstract:
1. A coil component comprising: a magnetic core integrally having a sheet part and a pillar part formed on top of the sheet part, and made of a magnetic alloy; a pair of first conductive films separately formed from respective side faces to a bottom face of the sheet part of the magnetic core; a coil integrally having a spiral part where a conductive wire is spirally wound, and one end of the conductive wire and other end of the conductive wire drawn from the spiral part, where the spiral part is placed around the pillar part of the magnetic core, and the one end of the conductive wire is joined to the one first conductive film, while the other end of the conductive wire is joined to the other first conductive film; a magnetic sheath formed wherein the magnetic sheath covers a top face of the pillar part and the side faces of the sheet part of the magnetic core, surfaces of side parts of the one and other first conductive films, and surfaces of the spiral part, one end of the conductive wire and joined part at the one end of the conductive wire, as well as other end of the conductive wire and joined part at the other end of the conductive wire, of the coil; a pair of second conductive films separately formed from respective side faces of the magnetic sheath to the bottom face of the sheet part of the magnetic core, via a bottom face of the magnetic sheath, wherein the surfaces of bottom parts of the one and other first conductive films are covered by the pair of second conductive films, respectively; and a pair of third conductive films separately formed wherein the pair of third conductive films cover the surfaces of the one and other second conductive films, respectively; wherein the one first conductive film, one second conductive film and one third conductive film constitute a first external terminal, while the other first conductive film, other second conductive film and other third conductive film constitute a second external terminal; and wherein the magnetic sheath has numerous closed voids inside.
