10 to 11D, a method of manufacturing a multilayer surface mount inductor according to the present invention will be described.

First, a process of forming a drum-type ferrite core including at least three or more flanges spaced apart from each other and opposed to each other, and a core disposed in a central region of each flange and interconnecting each flange (S11). In this embodiment, three flanges form a dual drum type ferrite core having two winding regions (ie, a two-layer structure) (see FIG. 11A). However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and a triple drum type ferrite core having three winding regions (that is, a three-layer structure) may be formed by using four flanges, and a drum type ferrite core having more winding regions may be formed. It may be formed.

And the drum type ferrite core according to the present invention is configured to contain a ferrite component. In addition, each flange may be formed with a fixing groove for inserting and fixing the coil. In the present embodiment, four grooves are formed in each flange at a predetermined interval.

Then, a process of attaching the electrode part prepared in advance to the lower flange disposed at the lowermost end of the drum-type ferrite core is performed (S12, see FIG. 11B). Next, a process of winding a coil in each of two winding regions provided by the three flanges is performed (see S13 and FIG. 11C).

Soldering or welding the end of each coil to the electrode portion to perform a process of electrically and mechanically connecting the coil and the electrode portion (S14). At this time, the welding uses arc welding or laser welding.

After filling the filler in the inner space of the coil of the coil-shaped drum-type ferrite core, the process of curing the filler is performed (S15, see FIG. 11D). At this time, the filler is filled in a dispenser method, the filler includes an epoxy resin and a polysiloxane containing a magnetic component.

The electrode pins of the soldered or welded electrodes are bent to be in contact with the side of the flange of the drum type ferrite core (S16, see FIG. 11E).

12A to 12C are schematic configuration diagrams for evaluating the mutual inductance effect of the prior art 1, the prior art 2, and the inductor according to the present invention.

Table 1 is a measurement data comparing the mutual inductance of the multilayered surface mount inductor, the multilayered surface mount inductor, and the multilayered surface mount inductor of the present invention. (However, L1 and L2 are based on 15μH. The inductor size (L x W x T) to be compared is based on a dual inductor of 8.0mm x 8.0mmx 8.0mm.

L3: Serial connection between L1 and L2, L4 indicates parallel connection between L1 and L2.)

[Table 1]

L (μH) Conventional multilayer structure Structure Invention L1 14.13 14.35 14.83 L2 15.72 15.20 15.14 L3 42.19 58.44 39.04 L4 4.16 0.13 5.32

In the case of L3, L3 = L1 + L2 and the value should be about 30μH as shown in Table 1, but L1 + L2 + Lm (mutual inductance) is actually due to mutual inductance. do. Mutual inductance is the primary side by mutual induction

It means the proportional coefficient of the time variation of the current and the voltage induced on the secondary side.

As a result, in Table 1, the conventional multilayer inductor is about 42.19 μH, and the inductor of the present invention is about 39.04 μH, which is less affected by the conventional multilayer inductor mutual inductance. It should be said that it is less affected by the mutual inductance when it comes out close to 30 μH. When L1 and L2 are formed in the single-layer inductor, the value is 58.44 μH, indicating that the mutual inductance is very severe.

In addition, in case of L4, L4 = (1 / L1) + (1 / L2) as the parallel connection between L1 and L2, and the value should be about 7.5μH, but the effect of mutual inductance is (1 / L1) + (1 / L2) -Lm (mutual inductance).

As shown in Table 1, the conventional multilayer inductor is about 4.16 μH, and the inductor of the present invention is about 5.32 μH, and like the L3, the multilayer inductor according to the present invention has less influence of mutual inductance than the conventional multilayer inductor. It can be seen that.

Therefore, when the results of Table 1 are summarized, it can be seen that the multilayer surface mount inductor according to the present invention is least affected by mutual inductance. In other words, the inductance between the multiple inductors is excellent because of the low mutual inductance.
