COIL COMPONENT AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING SAME

The invention relates to a coil component and a manufacturing method thereof. In a coil component having a structure in which a coil portion is embedded by a magnetic element body, generation of a notch at a corner portion of the magnetic element body is prevented. A coil component (1) is provided with: a coil section (2); magnetic material layers (M11-M13) disposed in an inner diameter region, an outer region, and one side in the axial direction of the coil part (2); and a magnetic material layer (M20) disposed on the other side of the coil part (2) in the axial direction. The magnetic material layers (M11-M13, M20) are each configured from a composite magnetic material containing a magnetic filler and a binder resin, and the content of the magnetic filler in the magnetic material layers (M11-M13) is higher than the content of the magnetic filler in the magnetic material layer (M20). As a result, the mechanical strength of the magnetic material layer (M20) is improved, and the occurrence of notches on the ma
