A pulse transformer is provided with a drum core including a winding core and first and second flanges, and wires wound around the winding core. First terminal electrodes and a second center tap are provided on the first flange, and second terminal electrodes and a first center tap are provided on the second flange. Each end of the wires is connected to a corresponding one of the first terminal electrodes, the second center tap, the second terminal electrodes, and the first center tap. A length of the drum core in the X direction is equal to a length of the drum core in the Y direction, so that the shape of the mounting region on the printed circuit board is not changed even after being rotated by 90°.
