A manufacturing method of a surface mounted inductor involves using a coil and a tablet in a molding die. The coil is placed on the tablet. The coil and the tablet are arranged in the molding die and pressurized and compressed to the size of the cavity in the molding die at a first temperature. The coil and the tablet are pressurized in the molding die at a second temperature higher than the first temperature to form a formed body incorporating the coil.
