A ferromagnetic nanomagnet is disposed adjacent to the surface. The ferromagnetic nanomagnet includes a shape having a long axis and a short axis. The ferromagnetic nanomagnet has both a perpendicular-to-the-plane anisotropy H | 2020-04-16 |
20200118726 | REACTOR AND MANUFACTURING METHOD THEREOF - A reactor may include: a ring core having a ring shape; a resin cover covering the ring core with a space left on an inner side relative to the ring core; and a columnar core around which a winding is wound. The columnar core may be fixed to the resin cover in a state where each of ends of the columnar core is opposed to an inner surface of the ring core. | 2020-04-16 |
20200118727 | REACTOR - A reactor includes: a coil including a first winding portion and a second winding portion that are formed by winding a wire, the winding portions being disposed side by side; and a magnetic core including a first inner core portion that is disposed on an inner side of the first winding portion, a second inner core portion that is disposed on an inner side of the second winding portion, and outer core portions that are disposed on an outer side of the two winding portions and connect end portions of the two inner core portions. In the coil, a circumferential length of the second winding portion is shorter than a circumferential length of the first winding portion, and the reactor includes a heat dissipation plate that is disposed on at least a portion of an outer circumferential surface of the second winding portion. | 2020-04-16 |
20200118728 | REACTOR - Provided is a reactor including a coil having a pair of winding portions; and a ring-shaped magnetic core, the magnetic core including: a pair of inner core portions arranged inside of the winding portions; and a pair of outer core portions respectively arranged outside of one end and outside of another end in an axial direction of the winding portions, the reactor including a non-magnetic reinforcing member that is arranged between the pair of winding portions and is coupled to the inner end surfaces of the pair of outer core portions. An axial rigidity of the reinforcing member is 2×10 | 2020-04-16 |
20200118729 | COIL COMPONENT - A coil component includes a body having one surface and another surface opposing each other, opposing end surfaces each connecting the one surface and the other surface to each other, and opposing side surfaces each connecting the end surfaces to each other. An internal insulating layer is embedded in the body, and a coil portion is disposed on at least one surface of the internal insulating layer and includes the first and second lead-out portions. The body has a recess disposed in each end surface of the body to expose the first and second lead-out portions. First and second external electrodes each include a connection portion disposed in the recess to be connected to a respective one of the first and second lead-out portions, and each include a pad portion disposed on the one surface of the body. A filling portion fills the recess and covers the connection portion. | 2020-04-16 |
