Abstract:
A laminated inductor comprising:a laminated body including a plurality of coil conductors and insulating layers superposed on one another in a laminating direction which extends along a lateral axis of said laminated body which is perpendicular to a vertical dimension of said laminated body, said laminated body including a helical coil defined by said coil conductors being connected in series, the helical coil extending in a winding direction along the lateral axis of said laminated body; andan external input electrode and an external output electrode connected to said coil and disposed on a pair of opposite surfaces of said laminated body, said external input and output electrodes being arranged to be substantially perpendicular to the laminating direction of said laminated body and to said winding direction of said coil; whereineach of the coil conductors is inclined relative to each of two connected sides at each of the corners of the insulating layer upon which the respective coil conductor is disposed and two of the coil conductors which are connected to a respective one of the external input electrode and the external output electrode are, at all portions thereof, inclined relative to and spaced from the sides of the respective insulating layer upon which said respective one of the two coil conductors are disposed.
