Abstract

A winding core includes, for example, four planes, that is, a top surface, a bottom surface, a first side surface, and a second side surface around its central axis. A first wire and a second wire are wound around the winding core in the same direction and have a twisted section. In the twisted section in a plurality of turns at the top surface, bottom surface, first side surface, and second side surface, both the first wire and the second wire are in close contact with each of the ridges between the top surface, bottom surface, first side surface, and second side surface.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A coil component comprising:
a winding core having a peripheral surface around a central axis of the winding core, the peripheral surface including at least four planes arranged adjacently in a peripheral direction, each plane extending in a direction along the central axis, each plane including a first end portion in the peripheral direction being a direction around the central axis and in which a first ridge extending in the direction along the central axis lies; and
a first wire and a second wire spirally wound with a plurality of turns around the central axis of the winding core in a same direction and forming a twisted section in which they are intertwisted in the plurality of turns, such that both the first wire and the second wire are in close contact with the first ridge in the twisted section at at least one of the planes in a single turn, wherein
the first wire and the second wire are axially aligned on a part of the peripheral surface of the winding core, and at least one of the first wire and the second wire is floating above the peripheral surface of the winding core, and
a dimension of each of the at least four planes measured in the peripheral direction of the winding core is an integral multiple of a shortest dimension of all dimensions of the at least four planes.

2. The coil component according to claim 1 , wherein both the first wire and the second wire are in close contact with the first ridge in the twisted section at the at least one plane in neighboring turns.

3. The coil component according to claim 2 , wherein a number of close contacts of the first wire with the first ridge and a number of close contacts of the second wire with the first ridge are approximately equal.

4. The coil component according to claim 3 , wherein
the plane in the winding core includes a second end portion opposite to the first end portion in the peripheral direction and in which a second ridge extending in the direction along the central axis lies, and
both the first wire and the second wire in the twisted section at the at least one of the planes are in close contact with both the first ridge and the second ridge in the single turn.

5. The coil component according to claim 3 , wherein both the first wire and the second wire in the twisted section are in close contact with the ridges in a portion other than a winding beginning portion and a winding ending portion of the first and second wires around the winding core.

6. The coil component according to claim 2 , wherein
the plane in the winding core includes a second end portion opposite to the first end portion in the peripheral direction and in which a second ridge extending in the direction along the central axis lies, and
both the first wire and the second wire in the twisted section at the plane are in close contact with both the first ridge and the second ridge in the single turn.

7. The coil component according to claim 2 , wherein both the first wire and the second wire in the twisted section are in close contact with the ridges in a portion other than a winding beginning portion and a winding ending portion of the first and second wires around the winding core.
