 本発明によれば、巻回軸に沿って巻回されるコイル構造であって、積層される複数の導体板を含んで構成される第1部位と、第2部位と、第1部位と第2部位とに繋がる曲げ部とを有する第1導体部を備える。そして、曲げ部が、第1部位における複数の導体板の積層方向と、第2部位における複数の導体板の積層方向が異なるように形成される。これにより、第1導体部におけるコイルの巻回軸に直交する側面における積層方向で隣接する2つの導体板の間の境界部分に微細な窪みを形成することができる。従って、第1導体部を絶縁体部で覆う際、絶縁体部の一部を第1導体部の側面に形成された窪みに入り込んだ状態で覆うことができるので、絶縁体部の第1導体部への密着性が向上する。それ故、絶縁体部に対してコイルの巻回軸方向に直交する方向への外力が加わった場合に絶縁体部がコイルに対して外力の加わる方向へ剥離してしまうことを抑制できるので、温度変化に起因して外力が加わったときに絶縁体部が剥離しにくくコイル構造を含むインダクタ素子の特性変化が抑制される。 According to the present invention, it is a coil structure wound along a winding axis, and is composed of a plurality of laminated conductor plates, the first portion, the second portion, the first portion, and the first portion. A first conductor portion having a bent portion connected to the two portions is provided. Then, the bent portion is formed so that the stacking direction of the plurality of conductor plates at the first portion and the stacking direction of the plurality of conductor plates at the second portion are different. As a result, a fine depression can be formed at the boundary portion between the two conductor plates adjacent in the stacking direction on the side surface orthogonal to the winding axis of the coil in the first conductor portion. Therefore, when the first conductor portion is covered with the insulator portion, a part of the insulator portion can be covered in a state of being inserted into the recess formed on the side surface of the first conductor portion, so that the first conductor of the insulator portion can be covered. Adhesion to the part is improved. Therefore, when an external force is applied to the insulator portion in a direction orthogonal to the winding axis direction of the coil, it is possible to prevent the insulator portion from peeling off in the direction in which the external force is applied to the coil. When an external force is applied due to a temperature change, the insulator portion does not easily peel off, and changes in the characteristics of the inductor element including the coil structure are suppressed.

First, as shown in FIG. 2, a preparatory step for preparing two conductor substrates 171 and one conductor substrate 173 is performed. Note that, in FIG. 2, the conductor substrates 171 and 173 show an example of a conductor substrate for manufacturing the two inductor elements 1. The conductor substrates 171 and 173 are manufactured, for example, by punching a metal plate.

 次に、2つの導体基板171と導体基板173とをそれらの厚さ積層する積層工程を行う。ここでは、例えば互いに積層された2つの導体基板171の-Z方向側に導体基板173を重ね合わせる。ここで、2つの導体基板171を、Z軸方向において互いに対向する面側全体において互いに溶着する。また、導体基板171、173も、Z軸方向において互いに対向する面側全体において互いに溶着する。これにより、図3Aに示すような2つのユニット17Uを有する積層体17が形成される。このとき、導体基板171、173の枠片1611、1612が積層されることにより、枠部161、162が形成される。また、導体基板171、173の支持片1611a、1611b、1612a、1612bが積層されることにより、支持部161a、161b、162a、162bが形成される。 Next, a laminating step of laminating the two conductor substrates 171 and the conductor substrate 173 to their thickness is performed. Here, for example, the conductor substrate 173 is superposed on the −Z direction side of the two conductor substrates 171 stacked on each other. Here, the two conductor substrates 171 are welded to each other on the entire surface side facing each other in the Z-axis direction. Further, the conductor substrates 171 and 173 are also welded to each other on the entire surface side facing each other in the Z-axis direction. As a result, a laminated body 17 having two units 17U as shown in FIG. 3A is formed. At this time, the frame portions 1611 and 1612 of the conductor substrates 171 and 173 are laminated to form the frame portions 161 and 162. Further, the support portions 161a, 161b, 162a, 162b are formed by laminating the support pieces 1611a, 1611b, 1612a, 1612b of the conductor substrates 171 and 173.
 続いて、図3Bおよび図3Cに示すように、積層体17について、支持部161aおよび支持片1631c、1632cを切断する切断工程を行う。その後、導体部111、115の立上部111b、115bに相当する部分および導体部112、113、114の第2部位112b、112c、113b、113c、114b、114cに相当する部分を+Z方向へ折り曲げるとともに、導体部111、115の脚部111c、115cに相当する部分を-Z方向へ折り曲げる折り曲げ工程を行う。これにより、立上部111b、115b、脚部111c、115cおよび第2部位112b、112c、113b、113c、114b、114cが形成される。この折り曲げ工程は、積層体17に含まれる全てのユニット17Uについて行う。 Subsequently, as shown in FIGS. 3B and 3C, the laminated body 17 is subjected to a cutting step of cutting the support portion 161a and the support pieces 1631c and 1632c. After that, the portions corresponding to the rising portions 111b and 115b of the conductor portions 111 and 115 and the portions corresponding to the second portions 112b, 112c, 113b, 113c, 114b and 114c of the conductor portions 112, 113 and 114 are bent in the + Z direction. , The bending step of bending the portions corresponding to the legs 111c and 115c of the conductor portions 111 and 115 in the −Z direction is performed. As a result, the rising portions 111b, 115b, the legs 111c, 115c and the second portions 112b, 112c, 113b, 113c, 114b, 114c are formed. This bending step is performed on all the units 17U included in the laminated body 17.
 次に、図1Aに示すように、4つの導体部121、122、123、124を準備する準備工程を行う。ここでは、例えば金属板を打ち抜き加工することにより4つの導体部121、122、123、124を作製する。この4つの導体部121、122、123、124を準備する準備工程は、前述の積層体17を作製および加工する工程と並行して行ってもよい。 Next, as shown in FIG. 1A, a preparatory step for preparing the four conductor portions 121, 122, 123, 124 is performed. Here, for example, four conductor portions 121, 122, 123, and 124 are manufactured by punching a metal plate. The preparatory step for preparing the four conductor portions 121, 122, 123, and 124 may be performed in parallel with the step of producing and processing the above-mentioned laminated body 17.
 続いて、導体部111の立上部111bの+Z方向側の端部および導体部112の第2部位112cの+Z方向側の端部を、導体部121に溶着する。ここで、導体部111、112は、例えばレーザ光を用いたスポット溶接技術を利用して導体部121に溶着される。同様にして、導体部115の立上部115bの+Z方向側の端部および導体部114の第2部位114bの+Z方向側の端部を、導体部124に溶着する。また、導体部112、113の第2部位112b、113cの+Z方向側の端部を、導体部122に溶着する。同様にして、導体部112の第2部位112bの+Z方向側の端部および導体部113の第2部位113cの+Z方向側の端部を、導体部123に溶着し、導体部113の第2部位113bの+Z方向側の端部および導体部114の第2部位114cの+Z方向側の端部を、導体部124に溶着する。このようにして、複数のコイル10の基となる積層体17の各ユニット17Uに導体部121、122、123、124が溶着された構造体が形成される。 Subsequently, the end of the rising portion 111b of the conductor portion 111 on the + Z direction side and the end portion of the second portion 112c of the conductor portion 112 on the + Z direction side are welded to the conductor portion 121. Here, the conductor portions 111 and 112 are welded to the conductor portion 121 by using, for example, a spot welding technique using a laser beam. Similarly, the + Z direction end of the rising portion 115b of the conductor portion 115 and the + Z direction end of the second portion 114b of the conductor portion 114 are welded to the conductor portion 124. Further, the ends of the second portions 112b and 113c of the conductor portions 112 and 113 on the + Z direction side are welded to the conductor portion 122. Similarly, the + Z direction end of the second portion 112b of the conductor portion 112 and the + Z direction end of the second portion 113c of the conductor portion 113 are welded to the conductor portion 123, and the second portion of the conductor portion 113 is welded. The + Z direction end of the portion 113b and the + Z direction end of the second portion 114c of the conductor portion 114 are welded to the conductor portion 124. In this way, a structure in which the conductor portions 121, 122, 123, and 124 are welded to each unit 17U of the laminated body 17 that is the base of the plurality of coils 10 is formed.
 その後、構造体における積層体17の導体部111、115の脚部111c、115cおよび導体部121、122、123、124を除く部位を覆う金型を構造体に固定した状態で、前述のフェライトの粉末を含む樹脂を金型内に射出した後、加熱、冷却することにより、絶縁体部100を形成する。そして、構造体を積層体17のユニット17U毎に切断することにより、複数のインダクタ素子1が生成される。 After that, in a state where the mold covering the portions other than the conductor portions 111c, 115c and the conductor portions 121, 122, 123, 124 of the conductor portions 111, 115 of the laminated body 17 in the structure is fixed to the structure, the above-mentioned ferrite is used. The insulator portion 100 is formed by injecting a resin containing powder into a mold and then heating and cooling the resin. Then, by cutting the structure for each unit 17U of the laminated body 17, a plurality of inductor elements 1 are generated.
 以上説明したように、本実施の形態に係るインダクタ素子1によれば、板状であり厚さ方向に積層された3つの導体板1111、1121、1131、1141、1151からなる導体部111、112、113、114、115を有するコイル10と、絶縁体部100と、を備える。そして、導体部111、112、113、114、115における3つの導体板1111、1121、1131、1141、1151の積層方向は、コイル10の巻回軸J1と直交している。また、積層される3つの導体板1111、1121、1131、1141、1151を含んで構成される111、112、113、114、115が、3つの導体板1111、1121、1131、1141、1151が積層される積層方向に曲がっている。これにより、導体部111、112、113、114、115におけるコイル10の巻回軸J1に直交する側面における積層方向で隣接する2つの導体板1111、1121、1131、1141、1151の間の境界部分に微細な窪みを形成することができる。従って、導体部111、112、113、114、115を絶縁体部100で覆う際、絶縁体部100の一部を導体部111、112、113、114、115の側面に形成された窪みに入り込んだ状態で覆うことができ、絶縁体部100のアンカー効果が得られ、絶縁体部100の導体部111、112、113、114、115への密着性が向上する。それ故、絶縁体部100に対してコイル10の巻回軸J1方向に直交する方向への外力が加わった場合に絶縁体部100がコイル10に対して外力の加わる方向へ剥離してしまうことを抑制できる。 As described above, according to the inductor element 1 according to the present embodiment, the conductor portions 111, 112 including three conductor plates 1111, 1121, 1131, 1141 and 1151 which are plate-shaped and laminated in the thickness direction. , 113, 114, 115, and an insulator portion 100. The stacking directions of the three conductor plates 1111, 1121, 1131, 1141 and 1151 in the conductor portions 111, 112, 113, 114 and 115 are orthogonal to the winding axis J1 of the coil 10. Further, 111, 112, 113, 114, 115 including three conductor plates 1111, 1121, 1131, 1141 and 1151 to be laminated are laminated, and three conductor plates 1111, 1121, 1131, 1141 and 1151 are laminated. It is bent in the stacking direction. As a result, the boundary portion between the two conductor plates 1111, 1121, 1131, 1141 and 1151 adjacent in the stacking direction on the side surface of the conductor portions 111, 112, 113, 114 and 115 orthogonal to the winding axis J1 of the coil 10. Fine dents can be formed in. Therefore, when the conductor portions 111, 112, 113, 114, 115 are covered with the insulator portion 100, a part of the insulator portion 100 enters the recess formed on the side surface of the conductor portions 111, 112, 113, 114, 115. It can be covered in a free state, the anchor effect of the insulator portion 100 can be obtained, and the adhesion of the insulator portion 100 to the conductor portions 111, 112, 113, 114, 115 is improved. Therefore, when an external force is applied to the insulator portion 100 in the direction orthogonal to the winding axis J1 direction of the coil 10, the insulator portion 100 is peeled off in the direction in which the external force is applied to the coil 10. Can be suppressed.
 また、本実施の形態に係る導体部212は、前述のように3枚の導体板1121の積層方向が互いに異なる第1部位212aと第2部位212cとを有する。そして、第1部位212a、曲げ部212gおよび第2部位212cは、それぞれ、側面に凹凸を有している。これにより、第1部位212aの積層方向への外力が加わった場合における絶縁体部100の剥離に対する耐性を高めるだけでなく、第2部位212cの積層方向即ちコイル10の中心軸方向への外力が加わった場合における絶縁体部100の剥離に対する耐性を高めることができる。 Further, the conductor portion 212 according to the present embodiment has a first portion 212a and a second portion 212c in which the stacking directions of the three conductor plates 1121 are different from each other as described above. The first portion 212a, the bent portion 212g, and the second portion 212c each have irregularities on the side surfaces. As a result, not only is the resistance to peeling of the insulator portion 100 when an external force is applied to the first portion 212a in the stacking direction, but also the external force in the stacking direction of the second portion 212c, that is, the central axis direction of the coil 10 is increased. It is possible to increase the resistance to peeling of the insulator portion 100 when it is added.
 また、本実施の形態に係る導体部112、113、114は、巻回軸J1を含む仮想平面と交差する第1部位112a、113a、114aと、第1部位112a、113a、114aの両端部それぞれから+Z方向へ延在する第2部位112b、113b、114bと、を有する。そして、導体部122は、板状であり、導体部112の第2部位112bの+Z方向側の端部と、導体部113の第2部位113cの+Z方向側の端部とを接続する。これにより、導体部112、113、114を構成する3つの導体板1121、1131、1141と、導体部122、123、124と、の全てを、金属板を打ち抜くことにより形成することができる。従って、コイル10の製造が容易になるという利点がある。 Further, the conductor portions 112, 113, 114 according to the present embodiment are the first portions 112a, 113a, 114a intersecting the virtual plane including the winding shaft J1, and both end portions of the first portions 112a, 113a, 114a, respectively.

It is shorter than the widths W11 and W12 in the direction orthogonal to the thickness direction and orthogonal to the extending direction of the conductor plate 1121. Further, the widths W21 and W22 in the direction orthogonal to the thickness direction of the conductor plate 2132 of the conductor plate 2132 and orthogonal to the extending direction of the conductor plate 2132 are orthogonal to the thickness direction of the conductor plate 1131 and the conductor plate 1131.

It is shorter than the width W15 in the direction orthogonal to the direction. That is, the conductor portions 211, 212, 213, 214, 215 have a width shorter than that of the conductor plates 1111, 1121, 1131, 1141 and 1151 and the conductor plates 1111, 1121 and 1131, 1141 and 1151. , 2122, 2132, 2142, 2152. The conductor plates 2112, 2122, 2132, 2142, and 2152 are sandwiched between the two conductor plates 1111, 1121, 1131, 1141, and 1151 in the stacking direction. As a result, as shown in FIG. 6, the cross-sectional shapes of the conductor portions 211, 212, 213, 214, and 215 are laminated with the conductor plates 1111, 1121, 1131, 1141, 1151, 2112, 2122, 2132, 2142, and 2152. The shape is point-symmetrical with respect to a point passing through the central axis J21 along the extending direction of the conductor portions 211, 212, 213, 214, and 215 in the direction. For example, the central axis J21 of the rising portion 211b of the conductor portion 211 is parallel to the Z axis, and the cross-sectional shape of the rising portion 211b is point-symmetric with respect to the point through which the central axis J21 passes.
 次に、導体基板171、272、173をそれらの厚さ積層する積層工程を行う。ここでは、例えば導体基板173の+Z方向側に導体基板272を重ね合わせ、導体基板272の+Z方向側に導体基板171を重ね合わせる。ここで、導体基板171、272を、Z軸方向において互いに対向する面側全体において互いに溶着する。また、導体基板272、173も、Z軸方向において互いに対向する面側全体において互いに溶着する。これにより、図7Aに示すような2つのユニット27Uを有する積層体27が形成される。このとき、導体基板171、272、173の枠片1611、1612、2611、2612が積層されることにより、枠部261、262が形成される。また、導体基板171、272、173の支持片1611a、1611b、1612a、1612bが積層されることにより、支持部161a、161b、162a、162bが形成される。 Next, a laminating step of laminating the conductor substrates 171, 272, and 173 to their thickness is performed. Here, for example, the conductor substrate 272 is superposed on the + Z direction side of the conductor substrate 173, and the conductor substrate 171 is superposed on the + Z direction side of the conductor substrate 272. Here, the conductor substrates 171 and 272 are welded to each other on the entire surface side facing each other in the Z-axis direction. Further, the conductor substrates 272 and 173 are also welded to each other on the entire surface side facing each other in the Z-axis direction. As a result, a laminated body 27 having two units 27U as shown in FIG. 7A is formed. At this time, the frame portions 261 and 262 are formed by laminating the frame pieces 1611, 1612, 2611 and 2612 of the conductor substrates 171 and 272 and 173. Further, the support portions 161a, 161b, 162a, 162b are formed by laminating the support pieces 1611a, 1611b, 1612a, 1612b of the conductor substrates 171, 272, and 173.
 続いて、図7Bおよび図7Cに示すように、積層体27について、支持部161a、162aおよび支持片1631c、1632cを切断する切断工程を行う。その後、導体部211、215の立上部211b、215bに相当する部分および導体部212、213、214の第2部位212b、212c、213b、213c、214b、214cに相当する部分を+Z方向へ折り曲げるとともに、導体部211、215の脚部211c、215cに相当する部分を-Z方向へ折り曲げる折り曲げ工程を行う。 Subsequently, as shown in FIGS. 7B and 7C, the laminated body 27 is subjected to a cutting step of cutting the support portions 161a and 162a and the support pieces 1631c and 1632c. After that, the portions corresponding to the rising portions 211b and 215b of the conductor portions 211 and 215 and the portions corresponding to the second portions 212b, 212c, 213b, 213c, 214b and 214c of the conductor portions 212, 213 and 214 are bent in the + Z direction. , The bending step of bending the portions corresponding to the leg portions 211c and 215c of the conductor portions 211 and 215 in the −Z direction is performed.
 次に、図4Aに示す4つの導体部121、122、123、124を準備する準備工程を行う。続いて、導体部211の立上部211bの+Z方向側の端部および導体部212の第2部位212cの+Z方向側の端部を、導体部121に溶着する。同様にして、導体部215の立上部215bの+Z方向側の端部および導体部214の第2部位214bの+Z方向側の端部を、導体部224に溶着する。また、導体部212、213の第2部位212b、213cの+Z方向側の端部を、導体部122に溶着する。同様にして、導体部212の第2部位212bの+Z方向側の端部および導体部213の第2部位213cの+Z方向側の端部を、導体部123に溶着し、導体部213の第2部位213bの+Z方向側の端部および導体部214の第2部位214cの+Z方向側の端部を、導体部124に溶着する。 Next, a preparatory step for preparing the four conductor portions 121, 122, 123, 124 shown in FIG. 4A is performed. Subsequently, the end of the rising portion 211b of the conductor portion 211 on the + Z direction side and the end portion of the second portion 212c of the conductor portion 212 on the + Z direction side are welded to the conductor portion 121. Similarly, the + Z direction end of the rising portion 215b of the conductor portion 215 and the + Z direction end of the second portion 214b of the conductor portion 214 are welded to the conductor portion 224. Further, the end portions of the second portions 212b and 213c of the conductor portions 212 and 213 on the + Z direction side are welded to the conductor portion 122. Similarly, the + Z direction end of the second portion 212b of the conductor portion 212 and the + Z direction end of the second portion 213c of the conductor portion 213 are welded to the conductor portion 123, and the second portion of the conductor portion 213 is welded. The + Z direction end of the portion 213b and the + Z direction end of the second portion 214c of the conductor portion 214 are welded to the conductor portion 124.
 その後、積層体27の各ユニット27Uに導体部221、222、223、224が溶着された構造体における積層体27の導体部211、215の脚部211c、215cおよび導体部121、122、123、124を除く部位を覆う金型を構造体に固定した状態で、前述のフェライトの粉末を含む樹脂を金型内に射出した後、加熱、冷却することにより、絶縁体部100を形成する。その後、構造体を積層体27のユニット27U毎に切断することにより、複数のインダクタ素子2が生成される。 After that, in the structure in which the conductor portions 221, 222, 223, and 224 are welded to each unit 27U of the laminated body 27, the conductor portions 211c and 215c of the laminated body 27 and the conductor portions 121, 122, 123, In a state where the mold covering the portion other than 124 is fixed to the structure, the resin containing the above-mentioned ferrite powder is injected into the mold, and then heated and cooled to form the insulator portion 100. After that, by cutting the structure for each unit 27U of the laminated body 27, a plurality of inductor elements 2 are generated.
 以上説明したように、本実施の形態に係るインダクタ素子2によれば、導体板2122、2132、2142それぞれの幅W21、W22が、導体板1121、1131、1141の幅W11、W12よりも短い。また、導体板2112、2152の幅W23は、導体板1111、1151の幅W13よりも短い。更に、導体板2152の導体板2152の厚さ方向に直交し且つ導体板2152の延在方向に直交する方向における幅W25は、導体板1152の厚さ方向に直交し且つ導体板1152の延在方向に直交する方向における幅W15よりも短い。これにより、導体部211、212、213、214、215におけるコイル20の巻回軸J2に直交する側面に溝211e、212e、213e、214e、215eを形成することができる。従って、導体部211、212、213、214、215を絶縁体部100で覆う際、絶縁体部100の一部を溝211e、212e、213e、214e、215eに入り込んだ状態にすることができる。それ故、絶縁体部100に対してコイル20の巻回軸J2方向に直交する方向への外力が加わった場合に絶縁体部100がコイル20に対して外力の加わる方向へ剥離してしまうことを抑制できる。 As described above, according to the inductor element 2 according to the present embodiment, the widths W21 and W22 of the conductor plates 2122, 2132 and 2142, respectively, are shorter than the widths W11 and W12 of the conductor plates 1121, 1131 and 1141. Further, the width W23 of the conductor plates 2112 and 2152 is shorter than the width W13 of the conductor plates 1111 and 1151. Further, the width W25 in the direction orthogonal to the thickness direction of the conductor plate 2152 of the conductor plate 2152 and orthogonal to the extending direction of the conductor plate 2152 is orthogonal to the thickness direction of the conductor plate 1152 and extends the conductor plate 1152. It is shorter than the width W15 in the direction orthogonal to the direction. As a result, grooves 211e, 212e, 213e, 214e, and 215e can be formed on the side surfaces of the conductor portions 211, 212, 213, 214, and 215 that are orthogonal to the winding axis J2 of the coil 20. Therefore, when the conductor portions 211, 212, 213, 214, and 215 are covered with the insulator portion 100, a part of the insulator portion 100 can be put into the grooves 211e, 212e, 213e, 214e, and 215e. Therefore, when an external force is applied to the insulator portion 100 in the direction orthogonal to the winding axis J2 direction of the coil 20, the insulator portion 100 is peeled off in the direction in which the external force is applied to the coil 20. Can be suppressed.
 また、本実施の形態に係る導体部211、212、213、214、215の断面形状は、導体板1111、1121、1131、1141、1151、2112、2122、2132、2142、2152の積層方向において導体部211、212、213、214、215の延伸方向に沿った中心軸に対して対称な形状となる。そして、絶縁体部100は、その一部が導体部211、212、213、214、215の溝211e、212e、213e、214e、215eに入り込んだ状態で導体部211、212、213、214、215を覆うことにより、絶縁体部100のアンカー効果が得られる。従って、絶縁体部100に対して、コイル20の巻回軸J2方向に直交し且つ巻回軸J2から離れる方向への外力が加わった場合と、コイル20の巻回軸J2方向に直交し且つ巻回軸J2から離れる方向への外力が加わった場合と、の両方の場合において、絶縁体部100がコイル20に対して外力の加わる方向へ剥離してしまうことを抑制できる。 Further, the cross-sectional shape of the conductor portions 211, 212, 213, 214, 215 according to the present embodiment is a conductor in the stacking direction of the conductor plates 1111, 1121, 1131, 1141, 1151, 2112, 2122, 2132, 2142, 2152. The shape of the portions 211, 212, 213, 214, 215 is symmetric with respect to the central axis along the stretching direction. Then, the insulator portion 100 has the conductor portions 211, 212, 213, 214, 215 in a state where a part of the insulator portion 100 is inserted into the grooves 211e, 212e, 213e, 214e, and 215e of the conductor portions 211, 212, 213, 214, and 215. By covering the insulator portion 100, the anchor effect of the insulator portion 100 can be obtained. Therefore, when an external force is applied to the insulator portion 100 in a direction orthogonal to the winding shaft J2 direction of the coil 20 and away from the winding shaft J2, and orthogonal to the winding shaft J2 direction of the coil 20. In both cases, when an external force is applied in the direction away from the winding shaft J2, it is possible to prevent the insulator portion 100 from peeling off in the direction in which the external force is applied to the coil 20.

 続いて、図11Bおよび図11Cに示すように、積層体37について、支持部161a、162aおよび支持片3611c、3612cを切断する切断工程を行う。その後、導体部311、315の立上部311b、315bに相当する部分および導体部312、313、314の第2部位312b、312c、313b、313c、314b、314cに相当する部分を+Z方向へ折り曲げるとともに、導体部311、315の脚部311c、315cに相当する部分を-Z方向へ折り曲げる折り曲げ工程を行う。 Subsequently, as shown in FIGS. 11B and 11C, the laminated body 37 is subjected to a cutting step of cutting the support portions 161a and 162a and the support pieces 3611c and 3612c. After that, the portion corresponding to the rising portion 311b and 315b of the conductor portion 311 and 315 and the portion corresponding to the second portion 312b, 312c, 313b, 313c, 314b and 314c of the conductor portion 312, 313 and 314 are bent in the + Z direction. , The bending step of bending the portions corresponding to the legs 311c and 315c of the conductor portions 311 and 315 in the −Z direction is performed.
 次に、図4Aに示す4つの導体部121、122、123、124を準備する準備工程を行う。続いて、導体部311の立上部311bの+Z方向側の端部および導体部312の第2部位312cの+Z方向側の端部を、導体部121に溶着する。同様にして、導体部315の立上部315bの+Z方向側の端部および導体部314の第2部位314bの+Z方向側の端部を、導体部124に溶着する。また、導体部312、313の第2部位312b、313cの+Z方向側の端部を、導体部122に溶着する。同様にして、導体部312の第2部位312bの+Z方向側の端部および導体部313の第2部位313cの+Z方向側の端部を、導体部123に溶着し、導体部313の第2部位313bの+Z方向側の端部および導体部314の第2部位314cの+Z方向側の端部を、導体部124に溶着する。 Next, a preparatory step for preparing the four conductor portions 121, 122, 123, 124 shown in FIG. 4A is performed. Subsequently, the + Z direction end of the rising portion 311b of the conductor portion 311 and the + Z direction end of the second portion 312c of the conductor portion 312 are welded to the conductor portion 121. Similarly, the + Z direction end of the rising portion 315b of the conductor portion 315 and the + Z direction end of the second portion 314b of the conductor portion 314 are welded to the conductor portion 124. Further, the ends of the second portions 312b and 313c of the conductor portions 312 and 313 on the + Z direction side are welded to the conductor portion 122. Similarly, the + Z direction end of the second portion 312b of the conductor portion 312 and the + Z direction end of the second portion 313c of the conductor portion 313 are welded to the conductor portion 123, and the second portion of the conductor portion 313 is welded.

 その後、積層体37の各ユニット37Uに導体部321、322、323、324が溶着された構造体における積層体37の導体部311、315の脚部311c、315cおよび導体部121、122、123、124を除く部位を覆う金型を構造体に固定した状態で、前述のフェライトの粉末を含む樹脂を金型内に射出した後、加熱、冷却することにより、絶縁体部100を形成する。その後、構造体を積層体37のユニット37U毎に切断することにより、複数のインダクタ素子3が生成される。 After that, the conductor portions 321c, 315c and the conductor portions 121, 122, 123 of the conductor portions 311 and 315 of the laminated body 37 in the structure in which the conductor portions 321, 322, 323, and 324 are welded to each unit 37U of the laminated body 37, In a state where the mold covering the portion other than 124 is fixed to the structure, the resin containing the above-mentioned ferrite powder is injected into the mold, and then heated and cooled to form the insulator portion 100. After that, by cutting the structure for each unit 37U of the laminated body 37, a plurality of inductor elements 3 are generated.
 以上説明したように、本実施の形態に係るインダクタ素子3によれば、導体部311、312、313、314、315のそれぞれに、導体部311、312、313、314、315の厚さ方向に窪んだ凹部311d、312d、313d、314d、315dが設けられている。これにより、インダクタ素子3の導体部312、313、314の-Z方向側に比較的大きな空間を形成することができる。従って、インダクタ素子3を電子部品E1に重ねて実装したときの基板B1の厚さ方向における基板B1の実装面からインダクタ素子3の+Z方向側の端縁までの高さを低くすることができるので、インダクタ素子3を備えるモジュールの薄型化を図ることができる。 As described above, according to the inductor element 3 according to the present embodiment, the conductor portions 311, 312, 313, 314, and 315 are respectively located in the thickness direction of the conductor portions 311, 312, 313, 314, and 315. Recessed recesses 311d, 312d, 313d, 314d, and 315d are provided. As a result, a relatively large space can be formed on the −Z direction side of the conductor portions 312, 313, 314 of the inductor element 3. Therefore, the height from the mounting surface of the substrate B1 in the thickness direction of the substrate B1 to the edge of the inductor element 3 on the + Z direction when the inductor element 3 is mounted on the electronic component E1 can be lowered. , The thickness of the module including the inductor element 3 can be reduced.
 また、本実施の形態に係る絶縁体部100は、その一部が導体部311、312、313、314、315の凹部311d、312d、313d、314d、315dに入り込んだ状態で導体部311、312、313、314、315を覆うことにより、絶縁体部100のアンカー効果が得られる。従って、絶縁体部100に対して、導体部311、312、313、314、315の延伸方向に沿った方向への外力が加わった場合、絶縁体部100がコイル30に対して外力の加わる方向へ剥離してしまうことを抑制できる。 Further, the insulator portion 100 according to the present embodiment has the conductor portions 311 and 312 in a state where a part of the insulator portion 100 is inserted into the recesses 311d, 312d, 313d, 314d and 315d of the conductor portions 311 and 312, 313, 314 and 315. By covering 313, 314, and 315, the anchor effect of the insulator portion 100 can be obtained. Therefore, when an external force is applied to the insulator portion 100 in the direction along the stretching direction of the conductor portions 311, 312, 313, 314, and 315, the direction in which the insulator portion 100 applies the external force to the coil 30. It is possible to prevent the coil from peeling off.
