Abstract

Abstract A lamination of a resilient and elongate magnetic sheet and a conductor strip is rolled up around a magnetic winding core to form a roll, and then the roll is sintered to produce an intermediate product. The conductor strip has both ends at both sides of the magnetic sheet so that both ends of the conductor strip are respectively exposed at both sides of the roll. Terminal electrodes are respectively attached to the both sides of the intermediate product to complete the chip coil. Another magnetic sheet may be provided to make the thickness of the lamination substantially uniform throughout the entire area. A second conductor strip may be provided in the lamination so that a coil having a tap can be actualized. The shrinkages of the winding core and the magnetic sheet are selected so that a desirable sintered product will result without suffering from delamination or cracks. The electrical characteristics of the coil may be changed by varying the amounts of components and changing additives in each of the materials respectively used for the winding core and the magnetic sheet.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim 214 words
A lamination-wound chip coil comprising: (a) a winding core made of a first magnetic material having the capacity to shrink when subjected to sintering; (b) a roll of laminate consisting of an elongated magnetic sheet and a conductive strip deposited on said magnetic sheet, said magnetic sheet comprising a second magnetic material having the capacity to shrink when subjected to sintering, said second magnetic material having a greater capacity to shrink than said first magnetic material, said laminate being rolled up around said winding core so as to place said winding core within the roll laminate, said roll laminate and winding core therein being sintered together forming an integral sintered body, said sintered magnetic sheet being shrunk to a greater extent than said sintered winding core, whereby, a winding tightening pressure occurs between said roll laminate and said winding core, said conductive strip having first and second ends which are respectively positioned at both sides of said magnetic sheet so that said first and second ends are exposed at both sides of the rolled up laminate, and together with said winding core forming an integral sintered body; and (c) first and second terminal electrodes respectively connected to the both sides of said sintered body at said first and second ends of said conductive strip.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 214 words
A lamination-wound chip coil comprising: (a) a winding core made of a first magnetic material having the capacity to shrink when subjected to sintering; (b) a roll of laminate consisting of an elongated magnetic sheet and a conductive strip deposited on said magnetic sheet, said magnetic sheet comprising a second magnetic material having the capacity to shrink when subjected to sintering, said second magnetic material having a greater capacity to shrink than said first magnetic material, said laminate being rolled up around said winding core so as to place said winding core within the roll laminate, said roll laminate and winding core therein being sintered together forming an integral sintered body, said sintered magnetic sheet being shrunk to a greater extent than said sintered winding core, whereby, a winding tightening pressure occurs between said roll laminate and said winding core, said conductive strip having first and second ends which are respectively positioned at both sides of said magnetic sheet so that said first and second ends are exposed at both sides of the rolled up laminate, and together with said winding core forming an integral sintered body; and (c) first and second terminal electrodes respectively connected to the both sides of said sintered body at said first and second ends of said conductive strip.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 68 words
A lamination-wound chip coil as claimed in claim 1, wherein said conductor strip is generally S-shaped when said lamination is developed into a plane so that said conductor strip is exposed at both its ends to be in contact with said first and second terminal electrodes respectively, said conductor strip being positioned on said magnetic sheet so that said magnetic sheet has a margin at its wind-terminating end.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 34 words
A lamination-wound chip coil as claimed in claim 1, further comprising a second magnetic sheet constituting said lamination, said conductor strip being interposed between the first mentioned magnetic sheet and said second magnetic sheet.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 131 words
A lamination-wound chip coil as claimed in claim 1, further comprising a second conductor strip constituting said lamination, said second conductor strip being deposited on said magnetic sheet, said second conductor strip being L-shaped when developed into a plane so that one end thereof is placed at one side of said rolled up lamination and the other end thereof is exposed at a portion between said both sides of said rolled up lamination, said second conductor strip crossing the first mentioned conductor strip; an insulating layer interposed between said two conductor strips where said second conductor strip crosses said first conductor strip; and a third terminal electrode attached to the periphery of said rolled up lamination so as to be in contact with said other end of said second conductor strip.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 37 words
A lamination-wound chip coil as claimed in claim 4, further comprising a second magnetic sheet constituting said lamination, said first and second conductor strips being interposed between the first mentioned magnetic sheet and said second magnetic sheet.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 103 words
A lamination-wound chip coil as claimed in claim 3, further comprising a second conductive strip constituting said lamination, said second conductor strip being generally L-shaped when developed into a plane so that one end thereof is placed at one side of said rolled up lamination and the other end thereof is exposed at a portion between said both sides of said rolled up lamination, said second conductor strip crossing the first mentioned conductor strip; and a third terminal electrode attached to the periphery of said rolled up lamination so as to be in contact with said other end of said second conductor strip.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 38 words
A lamination-wound chip coil as claimed in claim 6, further comprising a third magnetic sheet constituting said lamination, said second magnetic sheet and said first and second conductor strips being interposed between said first and third magnetic sheets.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 45 words
A lamination-wound chip coil as claimed in claim 1, wherein the materials of said winding core and said magnetic sheet are selected so that the shrinkage of said magnetic sheet during sintering is greater than that of said winding core by 3 to 10 percent.
