Method of producing chip inductor

摘要

Supporting-grooves are formed on the inside of a metallic mold (11). Both the end portions of a coil-shaped conductive wire (12), produced by forming a metallic wire into a spiral shape, are supported thereon, so that the coil-shaped conductive wire is positioned in the center portion of the metallic mold. Magnetic slurry is cast into the metallic mold, and molded by wet pressing method, whereby a molding body having the coil-shaped conductive wire embedded therein is obtained. The molding body is fired. External electrodes (13, 14) for connection to both the end-portions of the coil-shaped conductive wire are formed on both the end-faces of the fired magnetic core.
