Abstract
An inductor with the special-shaped structure includes an inductor main body and a pair of supporting legs fixed below the inductor main body, wherein the pair of supporting legs is conductors and is electrically connected to a pair of electrodes of the inductor main body, and the pair of supporting legs is configured to support the inductor main body during installation, so that a gap space is left below the inductor main body. Due to the unique structural design of the inductor in the present invention, the utilization ratio of the area of the PCB can be effectively increased, and the inductor is particularly suitable for very-high-density component installation on the PCB during power application. Moreover, by changing relative positions of the supporting legs, lower cavities with different sizes may be formed below the inductor main body, thereby facilitating optimal design for meeting different demands.
