Abstract:
A chip inductor comprising:a core having a winding core, and rectangular flanges integrally formed at either end of the winding core in its axial direction, said rectangular flanges having end surfaces and circumferential side surfaces;external electrodes consisting of a first conductive film layer formed on end surfaces and circumferential side surfaces respectively of both rectangular flanges of the core;a winding wound around the winding core having a wound-up portion and an external peripheral surface thereof, with both ends of the winding conductively fixed to the external electrodes to each form a conductively fixed portion; andan external covering material for covering the external peripheral surface of the winding wound around the winding core,wherein the external covering material is embedded into a gap between both flanges, both ends of the external covering material at both flange sides are superimposed on the first conductive film layer on the circumferential side surfaces of the flanges, and both ends of a second conductive film layer are laminated on the first conductive film layer so as to be superimposed on the external covering material of the flanges.
