A magnetic assembly includes a magnetic core, two windings, and a base. The windings are arranged around the magnetic core, and each of the windings has two leading sections. The base carries the magnetic core, and comprises a frame part, a pin base, and two first pins and two second pins disposed on the pin base. The pin base is connected with the frame part, and has four through holes. Two first pins are disposed in two of the through holes, and two second pins are disposed in the other two of the through holes. Each of the first pins and the second pins has two extending parts extended from the first surface and the second surface respectively, and the leading sections of the windings are connected with the first pins and the second pins respectively. Therefore, the advantages of decreasing the production costs and product standardization are achieved.

An upper end portion and a lower end portion of a second magnetic portion of a coil component are further away from a coil than when a third part and a fifth part are not present. For this reason, a magnetic flux is unlikely to be concentrated in the upper end portion and the lower end portion of the second magnetic portion, so that magnetic saturation is unlikely to occur. Therefore, improvement of direct current superimposition characteristics is realized in the coil component.

A power transmission apparatus comprising a primary magnetic circuit, a primary excitation circuit for connection to an alternating power source to supply input power to the primary magnetic circuit, and a secondary magnetic circuit for supplying output power to a load is disclosed. The power transmission apparatus facilitates wireless power transfer (WPT). The primary magnetic circuit In and the secondary magnetic circuit are detachably attached and cooperate to form a looped output magnetic circuit defining a looped output magnetic path along which an output power carrying magnetic flux flows. The primary magnetic circuit and the secondary magnetic circuit are detachably attached by a magnetic attraction force due to flowing of the output power carrying magnetic flux between the primary magnetic circuit and the secondary magnetic circuit during power transmission operations.
