A coil component includes a body having one surface and another surface opposing each other in one direction, an internal insulating layer embedded in the body, and a coil portion disposed on the internal insulating layer and forming at least one turn. First and second external electrodes are disposed on the one surface of the body to be spaced apart from each other, and first and second connection electrodes respectively penetrate through the body to connect the coil portion and the first and second external electrodes to each other. A support electrode extends from the coil portion to be exposed to the other surface of the body to support the coil portion and the internal insulating layer.

The present disclosure provides a magnetic component including a winding, a first magnetic core and a circuit component, and a wireless power-transferring device including the magnetic component. The winding is formed by winding a coil, and having a first penetration portion at a middle portion of the winding. The first magnetic core is disposed at a side of the winding, and a first insulating support portion is disposed between the first magnetic core and the winding. The circuit component is located within the first penetration portion and electrically connected with the winding. Disposing the circuit component within the first penetration portion at the middle portion of the winding can effectively save space.

A method for producing a coil for a transformer, in particular for a medium frequency transformer for a resonant DC/DC converter or a dual active bridge DC/DC converter, is disclosed which: providing a plurality of M>1 conductive foil strips, each having a first ending and a second ending; stacking the plurality of conductive foil strips to obtain a foil strip stack having a first ending and a second ending, wherein an electrically insulating layer is provided between any two adjacent foil strips; electrically interconnecting the first endings of all conductive foil strips to a first terminal; for each of the conductive foil strips providing a connector at the second ending of the foil strip; and coiling up the foil strip stack from the first end.

To improve magnetic characteristics of a coil component having a structure in which an interlayer insulating film is provided between a spiral coil pattern and a magnetic element body. A coil component 1 includes: an interlayer insulating film 41 covering coil patterns CP1 to CP3 from one side in the axial direction of the coil patterns; a magnetic element body M1 filled in the inner diameter areas of the coil patterns CP1 to CP3; and a magnetic element body M2 covering the coil patterns CP1 to CP3 from the one side in the axial direction through the interlayer insulating film 41. The interlayer insulating film 41 has a protruding part 41A radially protruding to the inner diameter area, and the protruding part 41A is curved to the other side in the axial direction. Since the protruding part 41A is curved in the axial direction, the entrance of a magnetic path passing through the inner diameter area is made wider than when the protruding part 41A linearly protrudes to the inner diameter area. This suppresses deterioration in magnetic characteristics due to the presence of the protruding part 41A.
