An embedded magnetic component transformer device includes primary, secondary, and auxiliary windings that are defined by conductive vias connected by conductive traces. The conductive traces and vias of the auxiliary winding are arranged between the conductive traces and vias of respective first and second portions of the primary winding, so that the auxiliary winding is provided substantially in the center of the width of the PCB. Power connections are provided at respective opposing edges of the device, and surface mounted transistors are provided close to the primary winding portions between the auxiliary winding and the edge of the device. The device provides an efficient utilization of the surface conductive traces such that large areas of the surface remain for other functions, such as ground plates. The thermal properties of the device are balanced by distributing the transistors and the power connections.

Provided are a coupled inductor and a power module including the coupled inductor. A coupled inductor includes: a magnetic core, a first winding and a second winding, where a first passage is formed in the magnetic core; a part of the first winding and a part of the second winding pass through the first passage, and the first winding crosses with the second winding outside the first passage. Another coupled inductor includes: a magnetic core, a first winding and a second winding, where the magnetic core has a first passage and a second passage in parallel, both run through the magnetic core from one end face thereof to another opposite end face, where the first winding and the second winding both penetrate the first passage and the second passage, such that differently-named terminals of the windings are located on the same end face of the magnetic core.

The invention relates to a circuit carrier (100), in particular a circuit board, for an electronic circuit, having an electric coil (10) and a core (14), which is designed to form a magnetic field (36) of the coil (10), and the coil (10) has windings (12) situated in layers on top of one another, the coil (12) being integrated into the circuit carrier (100), and the core (14) being situated outside a winding window (18) of the coil (10).

A reactor including an assembly in which a coil, a magnetic core, and a holding member are combined, wherein the holding member includes: an outer surface facing a side on which the outer core portion of the magnetic core is disposed; a recessed core accommodating portion into which a part of the outer core portion is fitted; and a first holding portion facing a first outer circumferential surface of the outer core portion, the first holding portion includes: a plate-shaped piece extending from the outer surface to the first outer circumferential surface; and a pressing portion that presses the first outer circumferential surface, the plate shaped piece has a first surface flush with an inner wall surface of the core accommodating portion, and the pressing portion protrudes toward the first outer circumferential surface relative to the first surface.

A transformer assembly includes a substrate, a surface-mounted header on the substrate, a core on the surface-mounted header and including a U-shaped portion and I-shaped portion, and first and second bobbins on two legs of the U-shaped portion of the core.

A transformer assembly includes a transformer core, a cup that receives the transformer core, a lid that engages with the cup and covers the transformer core, and a winding wound around the cup and the lid. The cup and/or the lid include at least one hole through which the transformer core is exposed to an exterior of the cup and the lid when the lid is engaged with the cup.

A coil component includes: a first substrate body and a second substrate body, both formed in a manner containing a magnetic material; an adhesive containing an organic material and a filler, for bonding the first substrate body and the second substrate body; a coil formed by a conductor having an insulating film; and electrodes connected electrically to the coil; wherein the surface roughness of the face of the first substrate body bonded to the second substrate body via the adhesive is higher than the average grain size of the filler.

A coil component includes a core having first and second flange portions, and a top plate. Convex first and second spacer portions are in a lower main surface of the top plate that faces the first and second flange portions and are in contact with top surfaces of the first and second flange portions to form gaps between the top surfaces of the flange portions and the lower main surface of the top plate. A stage portion is in a region of the lower main surface of the top plate that faces the winding core portion of the core, and the first and second spacer portions are connected to each other via the stage portion. The spacer portions and the stage portion form a convex portion having a relatively large area to prevent the spacer portions from being scraped and damaged in a polishing process for deburring or chamfering.

A planar transformer employing an insulating structure for performance improvement includes: a pair of ferrite cores (110) including an upper core (110-1) and a lower core (110-2); a printed circuit board (120), which is disposed between the pair of ferrite cores (110), one end of which has primary via holes (121) electrically connecting primary coil patterns, and the other end of which has secondary via holes (123) electrically connecting secondary coil patterns; an insulating block (130-1) for receiving one side of the pair of ferrite cores (110); and an insulating base (130-2) disposed in the pair of ferrite cores (110) and fittedly coupled to the insulating block (130-1), wherein the insulating block (130-1) and the insulating base (130-2) receive a given region of the printed circuit board (120) at one side at which the secondary via holes (123) is disposed.
