Abstract

A coil device includes a winding core, a wire, and a terminal fitting. The winding core is made of a magnetic material and includes a flange. The wire is wound around the winding core. The terminal fitting is attached to a part of an outer surface of the flange. The terminal fitting includes a contact part and a protrusion plate part. The contact part is contacted with the outer surface of the flange. The protrusion plate part is formed integrally with the contact part and protrudes away from the flange. The protrusion plate part includes a wire connection surface and a main mounting surface. A lead end of the wire is connected to the wire connection surface. The main mounting surface is located opposite to the wire connection surface and is connectable to an external circuit.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A coil device comprising:
a winding core made of a magnetic material;
a flange integrated with the winding core;
a wire wound around the winding core; and
a terminal fitting attached to a part of an outer surface of the flange, wherein
the terminal fitting includes:
a contact part contacted with the outer surface of the flange; and
a protrusion plate part integral with the contact part and protruding away from the flange, and

the protrusion plate part includes:
a wire connection surface to which a lead end of the wire is connected; and
a main mounting surface opposite to the wire connection surface and configured to physically contact a surface of an external circuit.

2. The coil device according to claim 1 , wherein
the protrusion plate part includes:
a base part continuing to the contact part and protruding from the flange, and
a tip bending part bending in turn back manner at a tip of the base part; and
the lead end of the wire is sandwiched between the tip bending part and the base part.

3. The coil device according to claim 2 ,
wherein the wire connection surface or the main mounting surface is on a front surface or a rear surface of the tip bending part.

4. The coil device according to claim 2 , wherein the wire connection surface is on an inner surface of the base part, and the main mounting surface is on an outer surface of the base part.

5. The coil device according to claim 1 , wherein a sub-mounting surface is on a part of an outer surface of the contact part, the sub-mounting surface being flush with the main mounting surface or being on an inner side of the main mounting surface.

6. The coil device according to claim 1 , wherein a gap distance between the protrusion plate part and the flange in a perpendicular direction to the main mounting surface is twice or larger than a thickness of the protrusion plate part at a location where the lead end of the wire is connected to the protrusion plate part.

7. The coil device according to claim 1 , wherein a plate-like member is bonded on the outer surface of the flange opposite to the main mounting surface.

8. A coil device comprising:
a winding core made of a magnetic material;
a flange integrated with the winding core;
a wire wound around the winding core; and
a terminal fitting attached to a part of an outer surface of the flange, wherein
the terminal fitting includes:
a contact part contacted with the outer surface of the flange; and
a protrusion plate part integral with the contact part and protruding away from the flange,

the protrusion plate part includes:
a wire connection surface to which a lead end of the wire is connected; and
a main mounting surface opposite to the wire connection surface and being connectable to an external circuit, and

a sub-mounting surface is on a part of an outer surface of the contact part, the sub-mounting surface being flush with the main mounting surface or being on an inner side of the main mounting surface.
