A method for making a shielded inductor by: winding a metal wire material into a conducting coil and bending two distal ends of the metal wire material into a respective end piece, bonding a magnetic core to the center of the conductive coil, making a metal sheet member into a metal bracket having a frame body, solder points and connection strips, installing the conductive coil in the metal bracket and electrically soldering the end pieces of the conductive coils to respective soldering points at the metal bracket, mixing a magnetic material with a plastic material and processing the mixture into plastic grains, injection-molding the plastic grains onto the conductive coil to form an inductor body, and separating the respective connection strips with the inductor body from the metal bracket and bending the separated connection strips onto the bottom wall of the inductor body.
