Abstract:
A small-sized inductor with desired characteristics is provided. An inductor 1 a  includes a resin layer  3  and an inductor electrode  6,  which includes an inner winding portion  6 a  and an outer winding portion  6 b.  The inner winding portion  6 a  and the outer winding portion  6 b  forming the inductor electrode 6 include the metal pins  7 a  to  7 d  and the wiring boards  8 a  to  8 d.  Here, the inner winding portion  6 a  and the outer winding portion  6 b  include the metal pins  7 a  to  7 d  and the wiring boards  8 a  to  8 d,  which have lower specific resistance than conductive paste or plating. This structure thus can reduce the resistance of the entirety of the inductor electrode  6 , and improve the characteristics of the inductor  1 a . The inductor  1 a  can reduce its size by including the inductor electrode  6  wound to have a multiplex winding structure.

Claim (Index 10):
A method for manufacturing the inductor according to  claim 2 , the method comprising:\n a step of fixing first ends of the first metal pins, the second metal pins, the third metal pins, and the fourth metal pins to a first main surface of a support plate to vertically arrange the metal pins on the first main surface of the support plate; a step of preparing\n a first plate including the third metal boards and a flat frame supporting the third metal boards, the third metal boards each having an insertion hole having a diameter smaller than each of diameters of the third metal pins and the fourth metal pins connected to the third metal boards, \n a second plate including the first metal boards and a flat frame supporting the first metal boards, the first metal boards each having an insertion hole having a diameter smaller than each of diameters of the first metal pins and the second metal pins connected to the first metal boards, \n a third plate including the second metal boards and a flat frame supporting the second metal boards, the second metal boards each having an insertion hole having a diameter smaller than each of diameters of the first metal pins and the second metal pins connected to the second metal boards, and \n a fourth plate including the fourth metal boards and a flat frame supporting the fourth metal boards, the fourth metal boards each having an insertion hole having a diameter smaller than each of diameters of the third metal pins and the fourth metal pins connected to the fourth metal boards, and inserting the metal pins into the corresponding insertion holes to arrange and fix the metal pins substantially parallel to each other at predetermined intervals sequentially at the first plate, the second plate, the third plate, and the fourth plate; \n a step of sealing the first to fourth metal pins and the first to fourth plates with resin to form a resin layer; and a step of removing the flat frames of the first to fourth plates by dicing, wherein the third metal boards and the fourth metal boards have insertion holes having a larger diameter than the metal pins at positions overlapping the first metal pins and the second metal pins when viewed in a direction perpendicular to the first main surface of the support plate.
