Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A coil-type electronic component comprises an element including a magnetic element body and a coil conductor. A portion of the magnetic element body in between layers of the coil conductor adjacent to each other in an axis direction of the coil conductor includes first soft magnetic metal particles. A portion of the magnetic element body on an outer side along the axis includes second soft magnetic metal particles. The first soft magnetic metal particles have a saturation magnetization (Ms) higher than that of the second soft magnetic metal particles.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A coil-type electronic component comprising an element including a magnetic element body and a coil conductor, wherein a portion of the magnetic element body in between layers of the coil conductor adjacent to each other in an axis direction of the coil conductor includes first soft magnetic metal particles, a portion of the magnetic element body on an outer side along the axis includes second soft magnetic metal particles, the first soft magnetic metal particles have a saturation magnetization higher than that of the second soft magnetic metal particles, and a second inner-diameter magnetic element body occupying at least a part of an axis-center inner-diameter region of the element including the axis of the coil conductor includes the second soft magnetic metal particles. 2 . A coil-type electronic component according to claim 1 , wherein the first soft magnetic metal particles comprise an Fe—Si-based alloy. 3 . A coil-type electronic component according to claim 1 , wherein the second soft magnetic metal particles comprise an Fe—Ni-based alloy. 4 . A coil-type electronic component according to claim 1 , wherein a proportion of an area of the second inner-diameter magnetic element body in an area of the axis-center inner-diameter region is 30% or more in a cross section perpendicular to the axis of the coil conductor. 5 . A coil-type electronic component according to claim 1 , wherein the first soft magnetic metal particles have an average particle size of 1 to 6 μm. 6 . A coil-type electronic component according to claim 1 , wherein the second soft magnetic metal particles have an average particle size of 1 to 15 μm. 7 . A coil-type electronic component according to claim 1 , wherein a second outer-diameter magnetic element body occupying at least a part of an axis-center outer-diameter region of the element on an outer side in a radial direction of the coil conductor includes the second soft magnetic metal particles. 8 . A coil-type electronic component according to claim 7 , wherein a proportion of an area of the second outer-diameter magnetic element body in an area of the axis-center outer-diameter region is 15% or more in a cross section perpendicular to the axis of the coil conductor. 9 . A coil-type electronic component according to claim 1 , wherein in the axis direction of the coil conductor, lower saturation magnetization regions sandwich a higher saturation magnetization region.
