1. An electronic component comprising:
a wire wound about a central axis in a plurality of turns forming a coil having a central opening, the wire having first and second wire ends;
the coil having a first row and a second row axially offset from the first row;
the first row of the coil including a first outer turn and a first inner turn about the central axis, the first inner turn having a smaller diameter than the first outer turn;
the second row of the coil including a second outer turn and a second inner turn about the central axis, the second inner turn having a smaller diameter than the second outer turn;
the coil having a transition connecting the first inner turn to the second inner turn;
wherein the first and second wire ends are connected to or form terminals for mounting the component to a circuit; and
an overmolded outer body made of a mixture of magnetic and/or non-magnetic material and binder, the coil and at least a portion of the terminals embedded in the outer body, at least a portion of the terminals exposed through the outer body for mounting the component.
