An ignition coil for use in an internal combustion engine includes a primary coil, a secondary coil, a core, and a magnet. The core creates a closed magnetic circuit through which magnetic flux produced upon energization of the primary coil flows. The core has formed therein a gap through which the magnetic circuit passes. The magnet is disposed in the gap and has magnetic domains whose magnetization vectors are at least partially oriented obliquely relative to a gap direction. The orientation of the magnetization vectors in the magnet minimizes an energy loss when primary energy is transformed into secondary energy.

A pot core transformer is connected in series with the multiplier, and includes a first core half having a first projection, and a second core half having a second projection spaced from the first projection by a first gap. A primary winding is wrapped about the first projection, and a secondary winding wrapped about the second projection. A magnetic shunt is positioned between the first core half and the second core half, and includes a central aperture receiving a portion of the first projection and a portion of the second projection. A second gap is formed between an outer peripheral surface of the magnetic shunt and an interior surface of the first core half and an interior surface of the second core half.

A common mode choke assembly includes a main core, a shunt core, and first and second two-piece bobbins. The main core has a generally rectangular main core body, and first and second core riser portions. The first and second core riser portions are connected to opposite ends of the main core body. The first core riser portion includes a first riser notch and the second core riser portion includes a second riser notch aligned with the first riser notch. The shunt core spans between and is positioned within the first and second riser notches. The first and second two-piece bobbins are positioned on opposite sides of the main core body adjacent to the first and second core riser portions.

A common mode inductor includes a bobbin with two windings. A first winding is positioned between a first end flange and a first offset flange. A second winding is positioned between a second end flange and a second offset flange. The windings are spaced apart by a center section without windings. A pair of E-cores, each having a pair of outer legs and a center leg, are positioned in a passageway of the bobbin such that the center leg of each E-core is surrounded by a respective one of the two windings. First and second I-bars are positioned in the center section of the bobbin between the two offset flanges. The two I-bars are positioned on opposite sides of the passageway. The two I-bars increase leakage inductance between the two windings to improve the suppression of electromagnetic interference caused by common mode noise in the two windings.

An electronic component includes a wire winding wound around a central axis. The wire winding having first and second ends, and first and second terminals are connected to or formed by the first and second ends. The terminals provide electrical contacts for connecting the component into a circuit. The component has a wet press molded body made of a mixture of magnetic and non-magnetic material that is heated and pressed about the wire winding. The wet press molded body leaves at least a portion of the terminals exposed for mounting the component to the circuit.

A magnetic integrated hybrid distribution transformer includes a main transformer, a series isolation transformer and a converter, wherein: an iron core includes an iron beam unit, an iron yoke unit and a leakage magnetic core unit. The main transformer includes secondary windings, primary windings and control windings all of which are layer-windings and wound around main transformer iron beams.
