Abstract

A common-mode choke coil includes a core having a winding core portion, a first winding and a second winding. A winding start side region ranges from one end portion to a position where a first winding is brought into contact with the winding core portion, and a winding finish side region ranges from the other end portion to a position where a second winding is brought into contact with the winding core portion. The first winding is wound on the winding core portion such that the first winding is positioned on a negative direction side in an x axis direction with respect to the second winding at the same turn in the winding start side region and the second winding is interposed between the first winding and the winding core portion in the winding finish side region.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A common-mode choke coil comprising:
a core extending in an axial direction and having a winding core portion which includes a first region and a second region;
a first winding wound on the winding core portion; and
a second winding wound on the winding core portion in a state where the second winding runs parallel to the first winding, wherein
the first region covers an area from a first end portion on one side of a portion of the first winding which is brought into contact with the winding core portion to a first position disposed in front of a center of the winding core portion,
the second region covers an area from a second end portion on the other side of a portion of the second winding which is brought into contact with the winding core portion to a second position disposed in front of the center of the winding core portion,
the first winding is wound on the winding core portion such that the first winding is positioned on the one side with respect to the second winding of same turns as the first winding in the first region and the first winding sandwiches the second winding in the second region,
the second winding is wound on the winding core portion such that the second winding is positioned on the other side with respect to the first winding of same turns as the second winding in the second region and the second winding sandwiches the first winding in the first region,
the number of turns of the first winding and the number of turns of the second winding are equal to each other,
the number of winding times that the first winding is wound in a state where the first winding is brought into contact with the winding core portion and the number of winding times that the second winding is wound in a state where the second winding is brought into contact with the winding core portion are equal to each other,
the first winding at an inner position is connected to a first external electrode and located further from the first external electrode than a second external electrode,
the first winding at an outer position is connected to a third external electrode and located closer to the third external electrode than a fourth external electrode,
the second winding at the inner position is connected to the fourth external electrode and located further from the fourth external electrode than the third external electrode,
the second winding at the outer position is connected to the second external electrode and located closer to the second external electrode than the first external electrode, and
with respect to a same turn number of the first winding and the second winding, the first winding and the second winding switch vertically but do not switch laterally, such that in the first region, the first winding is at the inner position and closer to a first end of the winding core portion in an axial direction of the winding core portion than the second winding, and in the second region, the first winding is at the outer position and remains closer to the first end of the winding core portion than the second winding.

2. The common-mode choke coil according to claim 1 , wherein
the core has a first flange portion mounted on the first end of the winding core portion in the axial direction of the winding core portion and a second flange portion mounted on a second end of the winding core portion opposite to the first end in the axial direction of the winding core portion,
the first external electrode and the second external electrode are mounted on a surface of the first flange portion positioned in a first direction among directions orthogonal to the axial direction, and the third external electrode and the fourth external electrode are mounted on a surface of the second flange portion positioned in the first direction,
the number of turns of the first winding and the number of turns of the second winding are an even number, and
the first winding and the second winding intersect with each other on a surface of the winding core portion positioned in the first direction as viewed from the first direction.

3. The common-mode choke coil according to claim 1 , wherein
the core has a first flange portion mounted on the first end of the winding core portion in the axial direction of the winding core portion and a second flange portion mounted on a second end of the winding core portion opposite to the first end in the axial direction of the winding core portion,
the first external electrode and the second external electrode are mounted on a surface of the first flange portion positioned in a first direction among directions orthogonal to the axial direction, and the third external electrode and the fourth external electrode are mounted on a surface of the second flange portion positioned in the first direction,
the number of turns of the first winding and the number of turns of the second winding are an odd number, and
the first winding and the second winding intersect with each other on a surface of the winding core portion positioned in a second direction which is a direction opposite to the first direction as viewed from the direction opposite to the first direction.
