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 1):
An inductor, comprising:\n a resin layer having a main surface; and an inductor electrode wound around a winding axis set in the resin layer, wherein the inductor electrode includes an inner winding portion and an outer winding portion, wherein the inner winding portion includes\n a plurality of wiring first metal boards having first ends disposed at one side of the winding axis and second ends disposed at another side of the winding axis when viewed in a direction perpendicular to the main surface, the plurality of wiring first metal boards being arranged in a winding axis direction at a first side of the winding axis in the direction perpendicular to the main surface, \n a plurality of wiring second metal boards having first ends disposed at one side of the winding axis and second ends disposed at another side of the winding axis when viewed in the direction perpendicular to the main surface, the plurality of wiring second metal boards being arranged in the winding axis direction at a second side of the winding axis in the direction perpendicular to the main surface to form a plurality of pairs with the respective first metal boards, \n a plurality of first metal pins connecting the first ends of the first metal boards to the first ends of the second metal boards paired with the first metal boards, and \n a plurality of second metal pins each connecting the second end of one of the first metal boards to the second end of one of the second metal boards adjacent to the second metal board paired with the first metal board, and \n wherein the outer winding portion includes\n a plurality of wiring third metal boards having first ends disposed at one side of the winding axis and second ends disposed at another side of the winding axis when viewed in the direction perpendicular to the main surface, the plurality of wiring third metal boards being arranged in the winding axis direction at the first side of the winding axis in the direction perpendicular to the main surface and at positions apart from the winding axis further than the first metal boards, \n a plurality of wiring fourth metal boards having first ends disposed at one side of the winding axis and second ends disposed at another side of the winding axis when viewed in the direction perpendicular to the main surface, the plurality of wiring fourth metal boards being arranged in the winding axis direction at the second side of the winding axis in the direction perpendicular to the main surface and at positions apart from the winding axis further than the second metal boards to form a plurality of pairs with the respective third metal boards, \n a plurality of third metal pins connecting the first ends of the third metal boards to the first ends of the fourth metal boards paired with the third metal boards, and \n a plurality of fourth metal pins each connecting the second end of one of the third metal boards to the second end of one of the fourth metal boards adjacent to the fourth metal board paired with the third metal board.
