    摘要: An inductor element includes a wire-winding portion and a core portion. In the wire-winding portion, a conductor is wound in a coil shape. The core portion surrounds the wire-winding portion and contains a magnetic powder and a resin. An inner-core central region is a region of the core portion within a distance from a winding axis center of the wire-winding portion toward an existing region of the wire-winding portion in an outward direction perpendicular to the winding axis center. A top-plate central region is a region of the core portion within a distance from the winding axis center toward a no-existing region of the wire-winding portion in the outward direction. Sα−Sβ≥−2% is satisfied, where Sα (%) and Sβ (%) are respectively an area ratio of the magnetic powder in the inner-core central region and the top-plate central region.

    摘要: A soft magnetic alloy includes a main component of Fe. The soft magnetic alloy includes a Fe composition network phase where regions whose Fe content is larger than an average composition of the soft magnetic alloy are linked. The Fe composition network phase contains Fe content maximum points that are locally higher than their surroundings. A virtual-line total distance per 1 μm3 of the soft magnetic alloy is 10 mm to 25 mm provided that the virtual-line total distance is a sum of virtual lines linking the maximum points adjacent each other. A virtual-line average distance that is an average distance of the virtual lines is 6 nm or more and 12 nm or less.
