An inductor with the special-shaped structure includes an inductor main body and a pair of supporting legs fixed below the inductor main body, wherein the pair of supporting legs is conductors and is electrically connected to a pair of electrodes of the inductor main body, and the pair of supporting legs is configured to support the inductor main body during installation, so that a gap space is left below the inductor main body. Due to the unique structural design of the inductor in the present invention, the utilization ratio of the area of the PCB can be effectively increased, and the inductor is particularly suitable for very-high-density component installation on the PCB during power application. Moreover, by changing relative positions of the supporting legs, lower cavities with different sizes may be formed below the inductor main body, thereby facilitating optimal design for meeting different demands.

An apparatus and a method for manufacturing a reactor capable of preventing a core from being cracked due to a resin pressure during molding are provided. An apparatus for manufacturing a reactor provided with a core includes a mold with a cavity for housing the core. The mold includes a core support pin brought into contact with the core and configured to support the core against a resin pressure during molding. Resin flow paths during molding includes an inner flow path passing through inside the core and an outer flow path passing through outside the core. The core support pin is disposed at a position where a width of the inner flow path is greater than a width of the outer flow path.

An inductor includes an encapsulation shell with an inductive component encapsulated inside; an input electrode exposed on a surface of the encapsulation shell and configured to receive an alternating voltage; an output electrode exposed on the surface of the encapsulation shell and configured to output a direct current voltage, where the input electrode and the output electrode are electrically isolated by the encapsulation shell; and a metal shield layer asymmetrically covering the surface of the encapsulation shell and electrically connected to the output electrode, where the metal shield layer keeps the input electrode electrically isolated from the output electrode. An inductor fabrication method and a power supply circuit containing an inductor are further provided to resolve prior-art problems such as small range and poor effect of electromagnetic shielding and potential instability of the inductor, thereby achieving a better electromagnetic shielding effect and keeping the potential of the inductor stable.

Methods and systems for automatically aligning a power-transmitting inductor with a power-receiving inductor. One embodiment includes multiple permanent magnets coupled to and arranged on a surface of a movable assembly accommodating a power-transmitting inductor. The permanent magnets encourage the movable assembly to freely move and/or rotate via magnetic attraction to correspondingly arranged magnets within an accessory containing a power-receiving inductor.
