A reactor includes a coil, a magnetic core having an inner core portion arranged inside a winding portion, and an inner interposed member insulating the winding portion from the inner core portion. The inner interposed member includes a thin portion with a small thickness, and a thick portion with a thickness larger than that of the thin portion. The inner core portion includes, on an outer peripheral face facing the inner interposed member, a core-side projecting portion with a shape conforming to a shape of the inner peripheral face of the thin portion. The thickness of the thin portion is 0.2 mm or more and 1.0 mm or less, and the thickness of the thick portion is 1.1 mm or more and 2.5 mm or less. There is a clearance in at least part of a portion between the inner interposed member and the winding portion.

A laminated coil and manufacturing method therefor are disclosed. The laminated coil comprises multiple lamination units formed after a base body is folded. The lamination unit comprises an opening, a first common edge, and a second common edge; opening directions of two adjacent lamination units are opposite; the lamination unit is separately jointed with two adjacent lamination units by means of the first common edge and the second common edge, so that the base body in a laminated state forms a spiral power-on path. The base body is sequentially folded to form multiple lamination units, so that the base body in the laminated state forms the spiral power-on path to improve energy efficiency of a rectangular coil. In addition, on the basis of the laminated coil structure, the manufacturing method provided is adopted, and high precision of laminated coil can be highly efficiently manufactured.

A resin producing method is a method of producing a resin with which an insulating structure formed on an outer peripheral portion of a conductor is impregnated, the method including: a filler mixing step of mixing a nanofiller at a ratio of 15 wt % or more with an epoxy resin to form a mixture; a shear mixing step of causing the mixture to be subjected to shear mixing; a diluent mixing step of mixing a reactive diluent that reduces a viscosity of the epoxy resin, with the mixture after the shear mixing step; and a curing agent mixing step of mixing an acid anhydride curing agent with the mixture after the diluent mixing step.

A coil component includes a multilayer body in which a plurality of resin insulating layers are laminated in a lamination direction and coil conductive layers disposed inside the multilayer body. The plurality of resin insulating layers includes non-photosensitive first resin insulating layers and photosensitive second resin insulating layers. The multilayer body has a section where the first resin insulating layers and the second resin insulating layers are alternately laminated.

To provide an insulated wire that can increase in a partial discharge starting voltage, prevent deterioration of an insulator, and not cause worsening of an occupancy ratio, a coil that uses the insulated wire, a variable-thickness insulating tape used in manufacture of the insulated wire, and a manufacturing method of the same. The above-described problem is solved by an insulated wire (10) for a coil, comprising a conductor (1), and insulating coatings (2, 3) provided on an outer periphery of the conductor (1). The insulated wire (10) is constituted by the thick insulating coating (3) for an area where voltage increases and partial discharge readily occurs, and the thin insulating coating (2) for an area where the voltage does not increase and partial discharge does not readily occur, when the coil is wound. The thick insulating coating (3) and the thin insulating coating (2) are repeatedly provided at desired intervals. The above-described problem is solved by a coil (40) obtained by winding such an insulated wire (10) and configured so that the insulating coating (3) of the insulated wire (10) in an area where partial discharge readily occurs is thick, and the insulating coating (2) of the insulated wire (10) in an area where partial discharge does not readily occur is thin.
