Patent ID: 8810352

Claim:
A laminated inductor element comprising: a magnetic layer defined by a lamination of a plurality of magnetic sheets; a non-magnetic layer defined by a lamination of a plurality of non-magnetic sheets, and disposed on outermost layers and in an intermediate layer of the laminated inductor element; an inductor including coils provided between the laminated sheets and connected in a lamination direction; a via hole provided in the non-magnetic layer on each of the outermost layers; an end surface electrode provided on an end surface of the laminated inductor element; a plurality of mounting electrodes located on respective surfaces of the outermost layers; and an internal wiring line configured to electrically connect the via hole and the end surface electrode; wherein the plurality of mounting electrodes includes a plurality of outer electrodes located on a principal surface of one of the outermost layers and electrically connected to semiconductor devices or passive elements mounted thereon, and a plurality of terminal electrodes located on a principal surface of another of the outermost layers and electrically connected to an outer mounting substrate; and at least some of the plurality of outer electrodes are electrically connected to the plurality of terminal electrodes through the via hole, the internal wiring line, and the end surface electrode, such that an electrical connection through the via hole does not pass through the magnetic layer.
