Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A multilayer inductor may include: a multilayer body including a plurality of insulation layers stacked therein and having a thickness greater than a width thereof; and an internal coil part formed in the multilayer body by electrically connecting a plurality of internal coil patterns disposed on the plurality of insulation layers. The internal coil part may be disposed to be biased toward one portion of the multilayer body from a central portion of the multilayer body in a thickness direction.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A multilayer inductor comprising: a multilayer body including a plurality of insulation layers stacked therein and having a thickness greater than a width thereof; and an internal coil part disposed in the multilayer body, a plurality of internal coil patterns being electrically connected and disposed on the plurality of insulation layers, wherein the internal coil part is disposed to be biased toward one portion of the multilayer body from a central portion of the multilayer body in a thickness direction. 2 . The multilayer inductor of claim 1 , wherein the multilayer body includes an active part including the internal coil part to form inductance, an upper cover part disposed on an upper portion of the active part in the thickness direction, and a lower cover part disposed on a lower portion of the active part in the thickness direction, the upper cover part having a thickness greater than that of the lower cover part. 3 . The multilayer inductor of claim 1 , wherein a distance between an upper portion of the internal coil part and an upper surface of the multilayer body is longer than a distance between a lower portion of the internal coil part and a lower surface of the multilayer body. 4 . The multilayer inductor of claim 1 , wherein a central portion of the internal coil part in the thickness direction is disposed below the central portion of the multilayer body in the thickness direction. 5 . The multilayer inductor of claim 1 , wherein the center of gravity of the multilayer body is disposed below the central portion of the multilayer body in the thickness direction. 6 . The multilayer inductor of claim 1 , wherein the insulation layers and the internal coil patterns are stacked in the thickness direction of the multilayer body. 7 . The multilayer inductor of claim 1 , wherein the insulation layers and the internal coil patterns are stacked in a length direction of the multilayer body. 8 . A board having a multilayer inductor, the board comprising: a printed circuit board having first and second electrode pads formed thereon; and a multilayer inductor mounted on the printed circuit board, wherein the multilayer inductor includes a multilayer body including a plurality of insulation layers stacked therein and having a thickness larger than a width thereof; and an internal coil part disposed in the multilayer body, a plurality of internal coil patterns being electrically connected and disposed on the plurality of insulation layers, the internal coil part being disposed to be biased toward one portion of the multilayer body from a central portion of the multilayer body in a thickness direction. 9 . The board of claim 8 , wherein the multilayer body includes an active part including the internal coil part to form inductance, an upper cover part disposed on an upper portion of the active part in the thickness direction, and a lower cover part disposed on a lower portion of the active part in the thickness direction, the upper cover part having a thickness greater than that of the lower cover part. 10 . The board of claim 8 , wherein a distance between an upper portion of the internal coil part and an upper surface of the multilayer body is longer than a distance between a lower portion of the internal coil part and a lower surface of the multilayer body. 11 . The board of claim 8 , wherein a central portion of the internal coil part in the thickness direction is disposed below the central portion of the multilayer body in the thickness direction. 12 . The board of claim 8 , wherein the center of gravity of the multilayer body is disposed below the central portion of the multilayer body in the thickness direction. 13 . The board of claim 8 , wherein the insulation layers and the internal coil patterns are stacked in the thickness direction of the multilayer body. 14 . The board of claim 8 , wherein the insulation layers and the internal coil patterns are stacked in a length direction of the multilayer body.
