If the pair of projections 32 are disposed apart from the outer peripheral edge of the large diameter flange portion 13, the winding 4 is bound to parts nearer to the tip sides than the base parts of the pair of binding terminal 33.
  • the binding terminal 22 has a simple rectangular shape (straight shape) and the winding 4 is to be bound to the rectangular shaped (straight shaped) binding terminal 22, the winding 4 is firmly bound to the base parts of the pair of binding terminals 22 (bases of the parts projecting from the large diameter flange portion 13) even if the position accuracy of the binding terminal 22 in relation to the edge of the large diameter flange portion 13 is not high.
  • the winding 4 is not bound with being displaced to the tip side of the binding terminal 22.
  • the rectangular shaped binding terminal 22 in the embodiment is not required to have a high position accuracy as the position accuracy to the outer peripheral edge of the large diameter flange portion 13.
  • the pair of terminal plates 5 having the user terminals 21 and the binding terminals 22 are disposed on the large diameter flange portion 13.
  • the pair of binding terminals 22 are disposed to be oriented along the direction approximately perpendicular to the outer peripheral surfaces of the large diameter flange portion 13 and the winding shaft portion 10, that is, to be oriented along the radial direction extending from the center of the winding component 2, at positions opposite to each other across the winding shaft portion 10 in a manner to be aligned in a straight line with the winding shaft portion 10.
  • the winding 4 when the winding 4 is bound to the pair of binding terminals 22 with the tension being applied, the winding 4 is strained by the tension and bound to the base parts of the pair of binding terminals 22 (bases of the parts projecting from the large diameter flange portion 13).
  • the winding 4 is bound to the base parts of the pair of binding terminals 22 (bases of the parts projecting from the large diameter flange portion 13), regardless of the winding direction of the winding 4 in relation to the winding shaft portion 10 and so forth. Therefore, the aerial wiring portion protruding outside the outer peripheral edge of the large diameter flange portion 13 is not formed in the winding 4.
  • the aerial wiring portion is not formed in the lead-out part on the starting side or the lead-out part on the finishing side of the winding 4.

  • the winding 4 is hard to be disconnected.
  • the winding 4 is hard to be disconnected even if the lead-out part on the starting side or the lead-out part on the finishing side of the winding 4 is not made to have a twisted line structure or is not fixed with an adhesive.
  • the antenna device 1 according to the embodiment does not need a twisting process of a line or bonding process for preventing a disconnection of the lead-out part of the winding 4, and does not cause increases of a number of processes or of a cost due to such processes.
  • the antenna device 1 according to the embodiment can be formed by the number of processes and the cost similar to those of another coil element using a winding 4.

  • the antenna device is mounted on the printed circuit board and the like via a side on which the pair of binding terminals 22 are disposed.
  • the pair of binding terminals 22 and both end portions of the winding 4 bound thereto tend to interfere with another member such as a printed circuit board. Therefore, in general, it is necessary to bend the pair of binding terminals 22 and the like so that the pair of binding terminals 22 are apart from the printed circuit board and the like farther than the pair of user terminals 22 in a mounted state. Also in order to make it harder for the winding 4 to hit the large diameter flange portion 13 and the like due to the vibration and the like, it is desirable to substantially bend the pair of binding terminals 22.
  • the winding 4 is bound to the base of the binding terminal 22 and the aerial wiring portion is not formed. It is not necessary to substantially bend the pair of binding terminals 22 and the like in order to reduce a possibility of disconnection.
  • the pair of binding terminals 22 and the like may be slightly bent to the extent not to interfere with another member such as a printed circuit board. Therefore, the pair of binding terminals 22 and the pair of user terminals 21 are insert-molded at the time of the resin molding, whereby the pair of binding terminals 22 and the pair of user terminals 21 can be accurately positioned and easily disposed on the large diameter flange portion 13 and the like at the time of the resin molding.

  • the pair of binding terminals 22 are both disposed to be oriented along the direction perpendicular to the outer peripheral surfaces of the large diameter flange portion 13 and the winding shaft portion 10, that is, to be oriented along the radial direction extending from the center of the winding component 2.
  • only one of the pair of binding terminals 22 can be disposed to be oriented along the direction perpendicular to the outer peripheral surfaces of the large diameter flange portion 13 and the winding shaft portion 10, that is, to be oriented along the radial direction extending from the center of the winding component 2.
  • the large diameter flange portion 13 of the winding component 2 is formed into the disk shape having the cut-out portion 14 while the winding shaft portion 10 is formed into the cylindrical shape.
