Abstract

A coil component having a magnetic core together with a coil is precisely and correctly positioned on a printed circuit board by using an automatic mounting machine, which has a vacuum nozzle (6) for lifting the coil component, and a pair of adjusting chips (7,7) for finely adjusting the location of the coil component by pushing a wall of the coil component. The coil component comprises a dielectric support (insulator) (1), a plurality of terminal pins (2) molded in said support, each having a first end (2a) along a first side of the support for coupling with an end of a coil wound around a magnetic core, and a second end (2b) along a second side which is perpendicular to said first side for coupling with an external circuit on a printed circuit board. The coil component further comprises a rectangular housing (5) positioned on the support (1) through a projection (1h) on the support (1) and a recess (5c) which engages with the projection (1h) at the bottom of the housing (5) so that external wall (5d) of the housing (5) extends beyond said first end (2a) of the terminal pin (2). Thus, adjusting chips (7) adjusts the position of the coil component by pushing wall (5d) of the housin…
