A surface mounted inductor is equipped with a coil formed by winding a conductive wire, and a formed body in which the coil is sealed with a sealing material that mainly contains metal magnetic powder and a resin. The coil is embedded so that surfaces of lead-out ends are exposed on surfaces of the formed body. The resin at portions of surfaces of the formed body where external terminals are formed is removed, and the metal magnetic powder and a plating layer forming the external terminals are joined to each other, thereby connecting the external terminals and the lead-out ends of the coil.
