Therefore, when the electronic component is soldered on, for example, a circuit board, because a fillet is formed around the curved parts 22a, 22b, 23a and 23b, the electronic component having the magnetic core 1, the winding 2 and the magnetic exterior body 4 does not easily come off from the circuit board. Further, when the electronic component is mounted, for instance, on a board, the solder fillet can be visually checked. As a result, there is also an advantage that it is convenient with respect to an inspection.

Further, the two tips 22e and 23e are covered with the resin.
  • the insulating layer does not usually exist on the cut surfaces (that is, end surfaces of the tips 22e and 23e) of the flat wire. Further, when the tips 22e and 23e touch the winding section 21, the insulating layer coated on the winding section 21 may be broken. Thus, a short circuit occurs. However, such a short circuit can be prevented by providing the covering members 41 and 42 for the tips 22e and 23e.
