Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An inductor is provided so that reduction in DC superposition characteristics can be suppressed even when a filling rate of a magnetic powder is increased. The inductor includes a coil including a winding portion and a pair of extended portions extended from the winding portion, and a body having the coil embedded therein and containing a magnetic powder containing a first magnetic powder and a second magnetic powder, in which an average particle diameter of the first magnetic powder is larger than an average particle diameter of the second magnetic powder. In a cross section of the body including a winding axis of the winding portion and extending in a long side direction of the body, Voronoi partition is performed with a center of gravity of each magnetic powder as a generating point. When a standard deviation of an area of a Voronoi partition region with a magnetic powder having a particle diameter of equal to or more than 6 μm as a generating point is calculated, the standard deviation is equal to or less than 300.

What is claimed is: 1. An inductor comprising: a coil including a winding portion and a pair of extended portions extended from the winding portion; and a body in which the coil is embedded and which contains a magnetic powder containing a first magnetic powder and a second magnetic powder, wherein the body includes a magnetic base and a magnetic outer coating on the magnetic base, wherein an average particle diameter of the first magnetic powder is larger than an average particle diameter of the second magnetic powder, a cross section of the body including a winding axis of the winding portion and extending in a long side direction of the body is divided by Voronoi partition with a center of gravity of each magnetic powder as a generating point, and when a standard deviation of an area of a Voronoi partition region with a magnetic powder having a particle diameter of equal to or more than 6 μm as a generating point is calculated, the standard deviation is equal to or less than 300, and the standard deviation in the magnetic base is smaller than the standard deviation in the magnetic outer coating. 2. The inductor according to claim 1 , wherein a filling rate of a magnetic powder of the body is equal to or more than 77%. 3. The inductor according to claim 1 , wherein the standard deviation is from 230 to 300. 4. The inductor according to claim 1 , wherein the standard deviation is from 190 to 290. 5. The inductor according to claim 1 , wherein the winding portion is wound in the magnetic base, the magnetic base contains the magnetic powder, and the magnetic outer coating covers a part of the magnetic base, a part of the pair of extended portions, and the winding portion and containing the magnetic powder. 6. The inductor according to claim 5 , wherein a filling rate of a magnetic powder of the magnetic base is equal to or more than 80%. 7. The inductor according to claim 5 , wherein a filling rate of a magnetic powder of the magnetic base is from 80% to 85%. 8. The inductor according to claim 5 , wherein a filling rate of a magnetic powder of the magnetic outer coating is equal to or more than 77%. 9. The inductor according to claim 5 , wherein a filling rate of a magnetic powder of the magnetic outer coating is from 77% to 85%. 10. The inductor according to claim 1 , wherein the average particle diameter of the first magnetic powder is from 16 μm to 23 μm. 11. The inductor according to claim 1 , wherein the average particle diameter of the second magnetic powder is from 1.9 μm to 3.5 μm. 12. The inductor according to claim 2 , wherein the standard deviation is from 230 to 300. 13. The inductor according to claim 2 , wherein the standard deviation is from 190 to 290. 14. The inductor according to claim 1 , wherein a filling rate of a magnetic powder of the magnetic base is equal to or more than 80%. 15. The inductor according to claim 1 , wherein a filling rate of a magnetic powder of the magnetic base is from 80% to 85%. 16. The inductor according to claim 1 , wherein a filling rate of a magnetic powder of the magnetic outer coating is equal to or more than 77%. 17. The inductor according to claim 1 , wherein a filling rate of a magnetic powder of the magnetic outer coating is from 77% to 85%. 18. The inductor according to claim 2 , wherein the average particle diameter of the first magnetic powder is from 16 μm to 23 μm. 19. The inductor according to claim 2 , wherein the average particle diameter of the second magnetic powder is from 1.9 μm to 3.5 μm. 20. The inductor according to claim 1 , wherein the standard deviation inside of the coil is smaller than the standard deviation outside of the coil.
