Abstract: An object is to provide a small and highly reliable inductor capable of handling a large current. The inductor includes: magnetic core formed by pressing a mixture of a powdered magnetic material and a binder; coil part disposed inside magnetic core; and external electrode formed by bending end portion of coil part protruding from magnetic core. Coil part and external electrode are made of a flat conductor, and a width of end portion of coil part protruding from magnetic core is less than an average width of coil part disposed inside magnetic core.
