The third and fourth pin supports are connected to an outer surface of the second end flange and are spaced apart by at least the width of the passageway. The bobbin further includes slots for routing a winding to a pin and includes walls to ensure the winding is electrically separated from the E-core halves.

A discrete electrical component is disclosed, including a component member having at least one lead; and a base member on which the component member is supported. The electrical component further includes at least one compliant pin member, each compliant pin member having a first end portion configured for press-fit engagement in a printed circuit board and a second end portion electrically connected to the at least one lead of the component member. The at least one compliant pin at least partly extends through or into the base member.

A inductive component is provided, which comprises a magnetic core, an insulation body formed of an electrically insulating material and having the magnetic core accommodated therein, and a coil body having at least one winding wound thereon. The insulation body comprises at least two mechanically connected insulation wall sections, which each face, at least partially, a respective side surface section of the magnetic core. The coil body comprises at least one contact element attached to a side surface section of the coil body and used for establishing an electric connection to the at least one winding, and a magnetic core accommodation in which the magnetic core accommodated in the insulation body is partially accommodated.

The second terminal accommodation portion accommodates second terminal pins, connected to the remaining ones of the secondary coils in the second direction and having end portions bent in the first direction.

An electrical device having a stranded wire contact. The device includes a stranded wire with individual wires and a contact piece for electrical contacting of the stranded wire. The stranded wire contact is produced by thermal diffusion bonding.

A coil component includes an insulating layer; an annular ring-shaped coil core embedded in the insulating layer; a coil electrode wound around the coil core; an input electrode designed for external connection, disposed on a lower surface of the insulating layer, and connected to a first end of the coil electrode; and an output electrode designed for external connection, disposed on the lower surface of the insulating layer, and connected to a second end of the coil electrode. One of the input electrode and the output electrode is disposed inside the coil core in a plan view. With this configuration, unlike a conventional coil component in which both input and output electrodes are disposed outside a coil core, it is possible not only to easily reduce the area of the coil component in a plan view, but also to improve heat dissipation characteristics of the coil component.

A power adapter includes a circuit board, an electromagnetic interference filter, a shielding element, a power factor correction (PFC) inductor, a transformer and heating elements. The circuit board has a front side and a back side corresponding to each other, and a first long side and a second long side parallel to each other. The front side of the circuit board is divided into a first region, a second region and a third region along an extending direction of the first long side. The electromagnetic interference filter is disposed in the first region and close to the first long side. The shielding element is disposed in the first region and close to the electromagnetic interference filter. The PFC inductor is disposed in the first region of the circuit board and close to the second long side. The PFC inductor has a first long axis. The transformer is disposed in the third region and close to the first long side. The transformer has a second long axis, and the first long axis is perpendicular to the second long axis. The heating elements are disposed at the back side of the circuit board.

A pin-aligned magnetic device is provided, which includes a first magnetic core body, a second magnetic core body, and a plurality of conductors. The first magnetic core body is internally disposed with a magnetic element, and the magnetic element is joined to the plurality of conductors. The second magnetic core body covers the plurality of conductors on the first magnetic core body, so that the plurality of conductors is mounted inside the magnetic device and pins thereof are exposed from two lateral sides of the magnetic device, to form a plurality of pins. The foregoing design makes room at the bottom of the magnetic device, thus facilitating space saving and utilization on a PCB board. Moreover, each pin can be in good electrical contact with the board, effectively enhancing product yield on a production line.

Individual coils as well as two or more coils arranged one over the other or one coil in combination with a sensor, which can be integrated into planar semiconductor technology are described. A coil comprises a turn and two supply lines for supplying current to the coil. The turn and the supply lines are formed from a metal layer. One of the two supply lines is connected to a first end of the turn and the other of the two supply lines is connected to a second end of the turn.

A pin includes a head, a base connected to the head, a tail connected to the base, and clasps extending from the tail. The head includes two or more of the following: a hook, a first side notch, a second side notch, and an end notch. A module includes a substrate, a first pin mounted to the substrate at a first location, and a second pin mounted to the substrate at a second location.
