ABSTRACT:

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a surface mounting type coil, and more particularly relates to the surface mounting type coil which is used in a noise elimination filter of an interface in an LAN (Local Area Network), or a communication between computers or terminals and the like. Description of the Related Art
FIGS. 11 and 12
show examples of this type of surface mounting type coil.
FIG. 11
is a perspective view of a conventional surface mounting type coil comprising a toroidal core. Windings
63
comprise a primary winding and a secondary winding, and are wound around a toroidal core
61
. A plurality of external terminals
65
function as terminals for binding ends of the windings and terminals for external connection, and are provided on a base
62
. The binding leads
66
of the windings
63
are bound and soldered to the external terminals
65
.
Recently, there is a strong demand to reduce noise emission and interference. This type of surface mounting type coil has a problem of magnetic flux leakage from the binding leads
66
of the windings
63
, with consequent deterioration in the characteristics.
Generally, surface mounting type coils are attached and soldered to a printed circuit board by using an automatic attaching apparatus and a reflow soldering apparatus respectively. As a consequence, when there is considerable variation in the extent and thickness of the solder of the binding leads
66
, which are bound to the external terminals
65
, the external terminals
65
become nonflat. This causes warping, pitch deviation, and the like in subsequent processing, and some of the external terminals
65
make gaps to a circuit board when the coil is mounted thereon. Further, the terminals
65
deviate from the interconnection patterns on the circuit substrate, causing malfunctions such as connection failure and short-circuiting.
FIG. 12
is an exploded perspective view of another conventional surface mounting type coil comprising a toroidal core. The dotted lines in
FIG. 12
represent the configurations of the terminals inside a resin base. Windings
73
comprise a primary winding and a secondary winding, and are wound around a toroidal core
71
and secured to a base
72
. As shown by the dotted lines, binding terminals
75
a
are connected inside the base
72
to external terminals
75
b
. The binding leads
76
of the windings
73
are connected to the binding terminals
75
a
by soldering or the like.
This type of surface mounting type coil
73
has a problem of magnetic flux leakage from the binding leads
76
of the windings
73
, with consequent deterioration in the characteristics. Further, since the binding terminals
75
a
and the external terminals
75
b
are connected together inside the base
72
, the increased dc resistance causes loss. Moreover, since neither of the above examples can be adsorbed by an automatic attaching apparatus, they require a chuck constitution to enable their sides to be held by chucking or the like, and must be handled carefully.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It is an object of this invention to prevent leakage of magnetic flux from the binding leads of the windings, and to make the external terminals flat without increasing the dc resistance. It is a further object of this invention to provide a surface mounting type coil which can be adsorbed by using an automatic attaching apparatus.
The surface mounting type coil of this invention comprises a coil having windings which are wound around a magnetic core having a hole, a cylindrical magnetic body which is provided around the coil, and a plurality of metal plate terminals which leads of the windings are connected to. The metal plate terminals extend along the outer face of the cylindrical magnetic body from the bottom face to the top face thereof, and are secured to the cylindrical magnetic body in such a manner that their tips are within its thickness. In another arrangement, the metal plate terminals extend along the outer face of the cylindrical magnetic body from a bottom face to the middle of a side face thereof, and are secured to the cylindrical magnetic body in such a manner that their tips on the bottom face are within its thickness. Further, a flat lid is provided over the top face of the cylindrical magnetic body.
