ELECTRIC CIRCUIT-USE CORE AND DEVICE USING SAME

An electric circuit-use core which has low loss, is less susceptible to magnetic saturation, thus allows for size reduction and current increase, and has a wide operation range in high-frequency region, and a manufacturing method for the core are provided. The electric circuit-use core (1) is a dust core formed by compression molding or injection molding with an iron-based amorphous material, a cobalt-based amorphous material, or a sendust material as a magnetic material, and is used as a transformer core, a choke core, or a core of a reactor. The electric circuit-use core (1) includes cylindrical pillar portions (2) and connection portions (3).
