Patent ID: 6906608

Claim:
An inductor component comprising: a magnetic core having at least one magnetic gap, each of which has a gap length of about 50 to 10,000 μm in a magnetic path; a magnet for magnetic bias arranged in the neighborhood of the magnetic gap in order to supply magnetic bias from both sides of the magnetic gap; and a coil having at least one turn applied to the magnetic core, wherein: the magnet for magnetic bias is a bonded magnet comprising a resin and a magnet powder dispersed in the resin and having a resistivity of 1 Ω·cm or more; the magnet powder comprising a rare-earth magnet powder having an intrinsic coercive force of 5 KOe or more, a Curie point of 300° C. or more, a maximum particle diameter of 150 μm or less, and an average particle diameter of 2 to 50 μm and coated with inorganic glass; and the rare-earth magnet powder is selected from the group consisting of a Sm—Co magnet powder, Nd—Fe—B magnet powder, and Sm—Fe—N magnet powder.
