A multilayer coil component includes a multilayer body that is formed by stacking a plurality of insulating layers on top of one another and that has a coil built into the inside thereof; and a first outer electrode and a second outer electrode that are electrically connected to the coil. The coil is formed by electrically connecting a plurality of coil conductors, which are stacked together with insulating layers, to one another. When a coil axis is assumed that is parallel to the length direction and penetrates from the first end surface to the second end surface of the multilayer body, all the coil conductors are arranged so that circles centered on center points of the coil conductors and having diameters that are less than or equal to around 20% of a coil diameter overlap a circumference of a virtual circle centered on the coil axis.

In the multi-layer inductor, all of the plurality of through conductors are not aligned in a straight line, and the distance between the through conductors can be sufficiently kept in the element body having a predetermined dimensional standard. Therefore, the through conductor as a heat source is apart from each other, and the heat of the through conductor can be efficiently radiated to the outside of the element body.

In the multi-layer inductor, the internal electrode includes the auxiliary conductor, and the auxiliary conductor is jointed to the external electrode at the end face. Therefore, when a defect occurs in a part of the through conductors, a current flows through the remaining through conductor(s) and a current also flows through the auxiliary conductor. Therefore, overheating at the joint surface between the remaining through conductor(s) and the external electrode can be prevented, and cutting and/or fusion starting from the joint surface can be prevented.

In one aspect, an inductor may include at least one loop formed on a first metal layer and a non-uniform introduced pattern formed on the first metal layer and circumscribed by the at least one loop. The non-uniform introduced pattern may be formed of a plurality of structures and may have a maximum density at an interior portion thereof and a minimum density at a peripheral portion thereof, where at least some of the plurality of structures have different sizes.

A first conductive pattern made from a conductive material is formed on a first surface that is one surface of a flexible film made from a dielectric material. An adhesive layer is disposed on a second surface opposite to the first surface of the flexible film. A pair of first outer electrodes generates an electric field in an in-plane direction of a composite member composed of the flexible film and the adhesive layer, and causes an electric current to flow through the first conductive pattern.

An all-pass filtering module of a common mode noise suppressing device includes first and second differential transmission circuits coupled to a reference node. Each of the first and second differential transmission circuits has an input terminal and an output terminal, and includes: first and second capacitive elements coupled in series between the input terminal and the output terminal; a first inductor coupled between the input terminal and the output terminal; and a third capacitive element and a second inductor coupled in series between the reference node and a common node between the first and second capacitive elements.

A semiconductor element includes a first spiral coil, a second spiral coil, a connecting section, a first guide segment, and a second guide segment. The first spiral coil is formed with a first end and a second end, and includes a first inner turn and a first outer turn. The first inner turn is located in a range surrounded by the outer turn, and the first end and the second end are located at the first inner turn. The second spiral coil and the first spiral coil are located in substantially a same metal layer. The connecting section connects the first spiral coil and the second spiral coil. The first guide segment is connected to the first end. The second guide segment is connected to the second end. The first guide segment and the second guide segment are fabricated in a metal layer different from a metal layer of the first spiral coil.

In a laminated coil component, first coil conductor patterns define a coil opening that generates a magnetic flux in a first direction, second coil conductor patterns define a first coil opening that generates a magnetic flux in the first direction, and a second coil opening that generates a magnetic flux in a second direction. A difference in area between the first coil opening and the second coil opening determines a degree of coupling of the coil defined by the first coil conductor pattern and the coil defined by the second coil conductor pattern. This provides a close proximal arrangement of a plurality of coils proximally while significantly reducing or preventing unnecessary coupling between the coils.

A single-ended inductor comprises a first partial coil wound in a first direction; and a second partial coil wound in a second direction and adjoined the first partial coil; wherein, the second direction is opposite to the first direction to reduce the coupling of single-ended inductors and peripheral lines and reduce signal interference.

An apparatus includes a first charging coil with one or more conductors arranged in a first winding pattern, a second charging coil with one or more conductors arranged in a second winding pattern, and a ferrite structure with a main section with a top side, a first side section and a second side section. A portion of the top side of the main section is adjacent to a portion of the bottom side of the first side section and the second side section. A portion of the first and second charging coils are positioned adjacent to the top side of the main section interior in between the first and second side sections. A portion of the first charging coil is adjacent to the bottom of the first side section. A portion of the second charging coil is adjacent to the bottom of the second side section.
