Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a chip inductor; and, more particularly, to a multilayer type chip inductor employing a pair of outermost sheets having an identical terminal pattern in shape, respectively, the terminal pattern being capable of providing various positions for a via hole for electrically connecting the terminal pattern with conductor patterns of intermediate sheets.
- In general, a multilayer type chip inductor is comprised of a stack of sheets made of a plurality of ferrite or dielectric materials, having respective coil patterned conductors formed thereon and connected electrically by the via holes in series with each other in substantially zigzag fashion. Such a multilayer type chip inductor is used, for example, for suppressing noise or making a LC resonance circuit.
- Fig. 1 shows an exploded view of the conventional multilayer type chip inductor disclosed in Japanese Laid-open Utility Model Publication No. 57-100209.
- As shown, the conventional multilayer type chip inductor includes a pair of generally rectangular outermost sheets 1, 1' made of the ferrite or the dielectric material and a plurality of
intermediate sheets 2 made of the ferrite and dielectric material stacked one above the other and firmly sandwiched between the outermost sheets 1, 1'. - The outermost sheet 1 has a front surface formed with a generally L-shaped
electric terminal pattern 6. Theelectric terminal pattern 6 has alengthwise strip 6a extending along and adjacent to a longer side of the outermost sheet 1 and terminating at a generally intermediate portion of the longer side of the outermost sheet 1, and alateral strip 6b continued to thelengthwise strip 6a and extending along a shorter side of the outermost sheet 1 for electric connection with an end cap or like terminal member (not shown). - Similarly, the outermost sheet 1' has at its front surface a generally L-shaped electric terminal pattern 6' composed of a lengthwise strip 6'a and a lateral strip 6'b, wherein, the terminal pattern 6' thereof is offset 180° with respect to the
terminal pattern 6 on the outermost sheet 1 about an imaginary plane passing intermediately between the outermost sheets 1, 1' in a widthwise direction of the stack, and the lengthwise strip 6'a has at its end a via hole 4'. The via hole 4' is formed by perforating the outermost sheet 1' across the thickness thereof so as to leave a cylindrical wall (not shown). - Each of the
intermediate sheets 2 has a front and a reverse surfaces opposite to each other. The front surface of each of theintermediate sheets 2 is, respectively, formed with a generally U-shapedelectric conductor pattern 3. Each of theconductor patterns 3 has a perforated end 3a formed with avia hole 4 and anon-perforated end 3b. Similar to the above-mentioned via hole 4', thevia hole 4 is formed by perforating the respectiveintermediate sheet 2 across the thickness thereof so as to leave a cylindrical wall (not shown). The above-mentioned cylindrical walls are plated with the conductive material. - When assembling the
sheets 1, 2 and 1' together to provide a substantially complete multilayer type chip inductor, theintermediate sheets 2 are stacked one above the other in such a way that, when oneintermediate sheet 2 is turned 180° on an imaginary plane parallel thereto, the perforated end 3a and thenon-perforated end 3b thereof are, respectively, contacted with thenon-perforated end 3b and the perforated end 3a of the neighboringintermediate sheet 2 thereabove or therebelow, whereby theintermediate sheets 2 can be electrically connected with each other through thevia holes 4. With respect to the outermost sheets 1, 1', the outermost sheet 1 is positioned below the lowermostintermediate sheet 2 in such a way that thelengthwise strip 6a thereof comes into contact with the perforated end 3a of the lowermostintermediate sheet 2 through thevia hole 4, and the outermost sheet 1' is positioned above the uppermostintermediate sheet 2 in such a way that the lengthwise strip 6'a thereof comes into contact with thenon-perforated end 3b of the uppermostintermediate sheet 2 through the via hole 4' thereof, whereby theconductor patterns 3 on theintermediate sheets 2 and theterminal patterns 6, 6' on the outermost sheets 1, 1' are electrically connected with each other through thevia holes 4, 4'. - In such a multilayer type chip conductor, since the outermost sheets are, respectively, formed with the terminal patterns requiring a different mask from each other, it results in a higher production cost and complicated manufacturing processes. Furthermore, when a different inductance is desired, the shape and/or the size of the conductor pattern of the intermediate sheet must also change, which, in turn, requires the shape and/or the size of the terminal pattern of the outermost sheets to be also changed so as to electrically connect the terminal pattern with the changed conductor pattern of the intermediate sheet, again necessitating a higher production cost and complicated manufacturing processes.
- It is, therefore, a primary object of the present invention to provide a multilayer type chip inductor which removes the need for forming different terminal patterns on its outermost sheets, when a different inductance is required therefrom.
- In accordance with one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a pair of sheets having an identical terminal pattern, respectively, the terminal patterns being identical in shape, one of the terminal patterns being formed with a via hole filled with a conductive material for an electrical connection with the other thereof, wherein the sheets are arranged in such a way that when one of the sheets are turned 180° on an imaginary plane parallel thereto the terminal patterns of the sheets are allowed to be overlapped with each other, and the terminal patterns of the sheets are allowed to be electrically connected with each other through the via hole.
- In accordance with another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a pair of outermost sheets having a terminal pattern, respectively, the terminal patterns being identical in shape, one of the terminal patterns being formed with a via hole filled with a conductive material, wherein the outermost sheets are arranged in such a way that, when one of the outermost sheets is turned 180° on an imaginary plane parallel thereto, the terminal patterns of the outermost sheets are allowed to be overlapped with each other, and a t least one intermediate sheets interposed between the outermost sheets and having a conductor pattern, respectively, the conductor patterns being identical in shape, each of the conductor patterns being formed with a via hole filled with a conductive material for an electrical connection with neighboring conductor patterns, wherein the intermediate sheets are stacked one above the other and sandwiched between the outermost sheets in such a way that, when one of the intermediate sheets is turned 180° on the imaginary plane the conductor patterns thereof are allowed to be overlapped with the conductor patterns of the neighboring intermediate sheets, and the terminal patterns of the outermost sheets and the conductor patterns of the intermediate sheets are allowed to be electrically connected with each other through their via holes.
- In accordance with further another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a multilayer type chip inductor having at least one intermediate sheet formed with a conductor pattern thereon, comprising a pair of outermost sheets having a terminal pattern, respectively, wherein each of the terminal patterns includes a via hole for electrically connecting the terminal pattern to the conductor pattern of the intermediate sheet and is capable of providing various positions for the via hole so as to accommodate various conductor patterns of the intermediate sheet.

- Fig. 6 presents an exploded perspective view setting forth a modified form of the chip inductor shown in Fig. 4.
-
- There are provided in Figs. 2 to 6 a exploded perspective view of a multilayer type chip inductor in accordance with the present invention, respectively.
- Referring to Fig. 2, a multilayer type chip inductor in accordance with a first preferred embodiment of the present invention includes a pair of
sheets 10, 10' made of a ferrite and a dielectric material. Each of thesheets 10, 10' has a rectangular shape and aterminal pattern 12 having a substantially "T" shape thereon. Each of theterminal patterns 12 has alateral strip 12a extending along a shorter side of thesheet 10 or 10', and alengthwise strip 12b extending from a substantially intermediate portion of the length of thelateral strips 12a, along a longer side of thesheet 10 or 10', and terminating at a generally intermediate portion of the length of thesheet 10 or 10'. The sheet 10' has at its thelengthwise strip 12b avia hole 14 filled with a conductive material for an electrical connection with thesheet 10. - The
sheets 10, 10' are assembled in such a way that, when one of thesheets 10, 10' are turned 180° on an imaginary plane parallel thereto, theterminal patterns 12 of thesheets 10, 10' are overlapped with each other. This allows theterminal patterns 12 of thesheets 10, 10' to be electrically connected with each other through thevia hole 14. - Referring to Fig. 3, a multilayer type chip inductor in accordance with a second preferred embodiment of the present invention includes a pair of
outermost sheets 20, 20' made of the ferrite and the dielectric material, and at least oneintermediate sheets 30 made of the ferrite and the dielectric material and interposed between theoutermost sheets 20, 20'. - Each of the
outermost sheets 20, 20' has a rectangular shape and aterminal pattern 22 having a substantially "T" shape thereon. Similar to theterminal pattern 12 accordance with a first preferred embodiment of the present invention, theterminal pattern 22 of each of theoutermost sheets 20, 20' has alateral strip 22a and alengthwise strip 22b. The outermost sheet 20' has at its thelengthwise strip 22b avia hole 24 filled with a conductive material for an electrical connection with theintermediate sheet 30 therebelow, as will be described in later. - The
intermediate sheets 30 have aconductor pattern 32, respectively. Theconductor patterns 32 are identical in shape, for example, ⊏-shape, respectively. Theconductor pattern 32 of each of theintermediate sheets 30 has aperforated end 32a formed with avia hole 34 and anon-perforated end 32b. Thevia hole 34 is formed by perforating the respectiveintermediate sheet 30 across the thickness thereof and filled with a conductive material for an electrical connection with neighboring patterns, for example, the terminal pattern of the outermost sheet thereabove and the conductor pattern of the intermediate sheet therebelow, or the conductor patterns of the intermediate sheets thereabove and therebelow. - The
outermost sheets 20, 20' are arranged in such a way that, when one of theoutermost sheets 20, 20' is turned 180° on an imaginary plane parallel thereto, theterminal patterns 22 thereof are allowed to be overlapped with each other; and theintermediate sheets 30 are stacked one above the other and sandwiched between theoutermost sheets 20, 20' in such a way that, when one of theintermediate sheets 30 is turned 180° on the imaginary plane, theconductor pattern 32 thereof is allowed to be overlapped with the conductor patterns of the neighboringintermediate sheets 30. To be more specific, when assembling thesheets intermediate sheets 30 are stacked in such a way that theirperforated ends 32a and thenon-perforated ends 32b are, respectively, contacted with thenon-perforated ends 32b and theperforated ends 32a of the neighboringintermediate sheets 30 through thevia holes 34. This allows theconductive patterns 32 of theintermediate sheets 30 to be electrically connected with each other. With respect to theoutermost sheets 20, 20', theoutermost sheet 20 is positioned below the lowermostintermediate sheet 30 in such a way that thelengthwise strip 22b thereof comes into contact with theperforated end 32a of the lowermostintermediate sheet 30 through thevia hole 34 of the lowermostintermediate sheet 30, and the outermost sheet 20' is positioned above the uppermostintermediate sheet 30 in such a way that thelengthwise strip 22b thereof comes into contact with thenon-perforated end 32b of the uppermostintermediate sheet 30 through thevia hole 24 thereof. This allows theterminal patterns 22 on theoutermost sheets 20, 20' and theconductor patterns 32 on theintermediate sheets 30 to be electrically connected with each other through thevia holes - Although the above discussions were presented referring to a situation where the terminal pattern of the outermost sheet has the substantially "T" shape and the conductor pattern of the intermediate sheet has a ⊏-shape, their shapes and/or sizes can be changed depending on the desired inductance. For example, as shown in Fig. 4, the
terminal patterns 22 of theoutermost sheets 20, 20' may have a rectangular shape. - When a different inductance is required, the conductor pattern of the intermediate sheet must also change in the shape and/or the size. Unlike the prior art multilayer type chip inductor, the inventive multilayer type chip inductor can easily accommodate such a change. For example, as shown in Figs. 5 and 6, when the
conductor pattern 32 of theintermediate sheet 30 increases in size in order to obtain an increased inductance, the location of thevia hole 24 of theterminal pattern 22 can be changed suitably in such a way that theterminal pattern 22 of the outermost sheet 20' is electrically connected with the changed conductor pattern in the inventive multilayer type chip inductor. In other word, in the inventive multilayer type chip inductor, the terminal pattern of the outermost sheet can be electrically connected to various conductor patterns of an intermediate sheet by simply changing the position of the via hole, eliminating the need to change the shape and/or the size of the terminal pattern of the outermost sheet. Furthermore, in the inventive multilayer type chip inductor, since the outermost sheets include an identical terminal pattern in shape, respectively, it is possible to reduce a production cost and to facilitate manufacturing processes thereof. - While the present invention has been described with respect to certain preferred embodiments only, other modifications and variations may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention as set forth in the following claims.
