Patent attributes
A coil component having a low profile and being conducive to high-density mounting. The coil component includes a core 2 having a coil winding portion, and first and second flanges disposed on either end of the coil winding portion. The second flange is adapted to be mounted on a circuit board, and is configured of a substantially octagonal bottom surface having first and second peripheral surfaces and first through fourth omitted peripheral surfaces. The first terminal electrode is disposed across the first omitted peripheral surface and a part of the bottom surface, and the second terminal electrode is disposed across the second omitted peripheral surface and part of the bottom surface separated from the first terminal electrode. A winding is wound over the coil winding portion and has a first end electrically connected to the first terminal electrode at the first omitted peripheral surface, and a second end electrically connected to the second terminal electrode at the second omitted peripheral surface.
