A surface-mount inductor includes an element assembly having a core, a coil, and a magnetic material; and a pair of external terminals on a mounting surface of the element assembly. The core has a base portion and a columnar portion on an upper surface of the base portion. The coil is disposed on the base portion, and has a wound portion on the columnar portion, and a pair of extended portions extended from the wound portion. The base portion has at least one ridge portion at which the upper surface and a side surface are in linear contact with each other. The pair of extended portions are each disposed such that a flat surface portion connected to a flat surface portion disposed at an inner side portion of a conductive wire located at an outer peripheral portion of the wound portion is close to the ridge portion.

A coil component may include a body, a coil portion including first and second lead-out portions spaced apart from each other, first and second slit portions formed at an edge portion and exposing the first and second lead-out portions, first and second external electrodes disposed to be spaced apart from each other on one surface of the body, and extending onto the first and second slit portions, respectively, to be connected to the first and second lead-out portions, a slit insulating layer covering at least portions of the first and second external electrodes in the first and second slit portions, and a surface insulating layer disposed on the slit insulating layer and extending to cover at least portions of the first or second external electrodes disposed on the one surface of the body.

An inductor component comprising a base body; a coil on the base body and wound helically along an axis; and first and second external electrodes disposed on the base body and connected electrically to the coil. The base body includes a substrate having first and second main surfaces that face each other; and an insulating layer on the first main surface. The coil includes first and second coil wires respectively disposed on the first and second main surfaces and covered with the insulating layer; and first and second through wires extending through the substrate from the first main surface to the second main surface and opposite to each other with respect to the axis. The first coil wire, the first through wire, the second coil wire, and the second through wire are connected in the mentioned order, to make up at least a part of the helical.

A coil component improving insulation between external terminals provided on the same surface of an element body is provided. In the coil component, when a voltage is applied via the external terminal electrode, for example, a potential difference may occur between the outer end portions. In the coil component, since the insulation between the outer end portions is enhanced by the upper insulator exposed on the end face of the element body, even when a potential difference occurs between the outer end portions, a situation in which the outer end portions are short-circuited on the end face is prevented.

An inductor component comprising a base; a coil in the base body and wound along a direction of an axis; and first and second external electrodes disposed on the base body and electrically connected to the coil. The base body includes first and second end surfaces and a second end surface at ends in the length direction, first and second side surfaces at ends in the width direction, and bottom and top surfaces at ends in the height direction. The first and second external electrodes are respectively disposed toward the first and second end surfaces with respect to a center in the length direction and exposed from an outer surface of the base body. When viewed from the first end surface in the length direction, at least a part of a respective portion of the first and second external electrodes exposed from the outer surface do not overlap.
