Abstract

Disclosed herein is a coil component that includes a drum-shaped core having a first flange part provided at one end of a winding core part, first to fourth terminal electrodes formed on the first flange part so as to be arranged in this order in a second direction, and first to fourth wires wound around the winding core part. One ends of the first to fourth wires are connected to different ones of the first to fourth terminal electrodes. The first and second terminal electrodes are not symmetrical with the third and fourth terminal electrodes so that the third and fourth terminal electrodes are offset outward compared with the first and second terminal electrodes.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A circuit board comprising:
a substrate having a plurality of land patterns; and
a coil component mounted on the substrate,
wherein the coil component comprising:
a drum-shaped core including:
a winding core part, an axial direction of the winding core part being a first direction;
a first flange part provided at one end of the winding core part in the first direction; and
a second flange part provided at other end of the winding core part in the first direction;

first to fourth terminal electrodes formed on the first flange part so as to be arranged in this order in a second direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction;
fifth to eighth terminal electrodes formed on the second flange part so as to be arranged in this order in the second direction; and
first to fourth wires wound around the winding core part, one ends of the first to fourth wires being connected to different ones of the first to fourth terminal electrodes and other ends of the first to fourth wires being connected to different ones of the fifth to eighth terminal electrodes, wherein

the first flange part has a first inner side surface connected to the winding core part and a first outer side surface opposite to the first inner side surface,
the second flange part has a second inner side surface connected to the winding core part and a second outer side surface opposite to the second inner side surface,
the first to fourth terminal electrodes are formed at least on the first outer side surface,
the fifth to eighth terminal electrodes are formed at least on the second outer side surface,
a distance between the first and second terminal electrodes in the second direction is larger than the distance between the third and fourth terminal electrodes in the second direction,
a distance between the fifth and sixth terminal electrodes in the second direction is larger than the distance between the seventh and eighth terminal electrodes in the second direction,
a distance between a first virtual line and the third terminal electrode in the second direction is larger than a distance between the first virtual line and the second terminal electrode in the second direction, where the first virtual line is defined on the first outer side surface, extends in a third direction substantially perpendicular to the first and second directions, and whose position in the second direction coincides with the center axis of the winding core part,
a distance between a second virtual line and the seventh terminal electrode in the second direction is larger than a distance between the second virtual line and the sixth terminal electrode in the second direction, where the second virtual line is defined on the second outer side surface, extends in the third direction, and whose position in the second direction coincides with the center axis of the winding core part, and
the plurality of land patterns include first, second, third, and fourth land patterns connected respectively to the first, second, fifth, and sixth terminal electrodes, a fifth land pattern connected in common to the third and fourth terminal electrodes, and a sixth land pattern connected in common to the seventh and eighth terminal electrodes.

2. The circuit board as claimed in claim 1 ,
wherein the third and fourth terminal electrodes are short-circuited by a bridge of a solder, and
wherein the seventh and eighth terminal electrodes are short-circuited by a bridge of another solder.
