A method of manufacturing a coil for a torque sensor includes: holding a bobbin with a jig, the bobbin being formed in a cylindrical shape and provided with first inclined grooves and second inclined grooves on a cylindrical outer peripheral surface of the bobbin, the first inclined grooves being inclined at a preset specified angle with respect to an axial direction of the cylindrical shape, and the second inclined grooves being inclined at the specified angle with respect to the axial direction in a direction opposite to the first inclined grooves; and rotating the bobbin while simultaneously supplying insulated wires from nozzles arranged to surround the bobbin, and driving the nozzles in a direction orthogonal to a rotation direction of the bobbin so as to wind the insulated wires around the bobbin along the first inclined grooves or the second inclined grooves.

Advantage is taken of the fact that tin has a higher efficiency of absorption of a laser beam than, for example, copper. A method of manufacturing a coil component includes preparing a wire that includes a linear, central conductor and an insulating coating that covers a circumferential surface of the central conductor, preparing a metal terminal that is to be electrically connected to the central conductor at an end portion of the wire and that has a surface on which a tin-containing film that contains tin is disposed and above which at least the end portion of the wire is to be disposed, and welding the central conductor of the wire to the metal terminal by irradiating at least the tin-containing film with a laser beam with the end portion of the wire disposed along the tin-containing film.

A continuous wire that includes a wound inductance from a first yarn material formed of filaments or nanotubes, the first yarn being doped with or including a first material that causes it to be electrically conductive and a second yarn formed of material filaments or nanotubes that is electrically insulating and may include magnetic particles wound with the first yarn in bifilar fashion or both yarns wrapped in a bifilar fashion around an insulating core yarn which may include magnetic particles to increase the inductance of the wire. The doping and electrical conductance of the yarns can be varied along the length of the wire to integrate sections of lumped electrical conductance and inductance.
