An inductor component comprises a ring-shaped core; and a coil wound around the core and comprising wire members each constituting a single turn. Each of the wire members has a first side portion facing an inner peripheral surface of the core, a second side portion facing a first end surface that is one end surface of the core and is located in a direction of a center axis of the core, a third side portion facing an outer peripheral surface of the core, and a fourth side portion facing a second end surface that is the other end surface of the core and is located in the direction of the center axis of the core. At least one of the second and third side portions has a bent portion protruding on the core side, and the first and fourth side portions of adjacent wire members are connected.

A balun includes a core having a plurality of through holes and a plurality of conductors wound around a portion between two through holes in the core and constituting first and second coils. The conductors include parallel lines in which a first conductor, a second conductor, and a third conductor are arranged in substantially parallel in this order and are integrated so as to include planar sections. The first and second coils include a continuous portion of first, second, and third winding portions. The first winding portion is formed of the wound second conductor. The second winding portion is formed of the parallel lines wound such that the planar sections cover the first winding portion. The third winding portion is formed of the second conductor wound on the second winding portion. The first coil includes a center tap connected to end portions of the first and third conductors.

An inductive component, which has an annular core having a core cross section and made of a soft-magnetic material and a coil surrounding the core is provided. The coil is composed of two electrically conductive sections. The sections each have a basic U shape with two limbs, of which the first limb is longer than the second limb and the first limb is curved and towards the end of same projects away from a plane defined by the basic U shape. The sections are pushed onto the core next to one another so that the basic U shape of each section surrounds the core cross section on three sides. The first limb of a section is mechanically and electrically connected to the second limb of the other section. A method for producing a component of this kind is also described.

A current transformer includes first and second bobbins, and a secondary winding. The first bobbin includes a first tube defining a first longitudinal axis. First and second flanges are disposed on first and second ends of the first tube. The first tube, the first and second flanges collectively define a first slit along the first longitudinal axis. The first slit allows receipt of a primary conductor into the first tube. The second bobbin includes a second tube rotatably received about the first tube. The second tube defines a second slit along the second longitudinal axis. The second slit allows receipt of the primary conductor into the first and second tubes. The secondary winding is wound about the first bobbin and extends along the first longitudinal axis, passing through the first tube and over the first and second flanges. The second tube rotates about the second longitudinal axis relative to the first tube.

A radio-frequency (RF) transformer includes a ferrite core defining a bore therethrough. The RF transformer also includes a first wire and a second wire. The first and second wires are twisted and form a first exterior half loop at least partially around an exterior of the ferrite core. The first wire, but not the second wire, forms a second exterior half loop at least partially around the exterior of the ferrite core. The ferrite core is configured to provide a primarily magnetic coupling for signals having a frequency that is less than a predetermined threshold. The first and second wires are configured to provide a primarily capacitive coupling for signals having the frequency that is greater than the predetermined threshold.
