Before the conductive wires 22 are welded to the positive wiring pin 31 and the negative wiring pin 32, the conductive wire 22 is latched and connected to the wire latch slot 12 to facilitate positioning the conductive wire 22 for future spot welding. During the assembling process, the wire input slot 13 is provide for guiding the conductive wire 22 of the coil component 2 to the wire latch slot 12.
