DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF ILLUSTRATIVE EMBODIMENTS

(16) FIGS. 1A and 1B show different views of a first embodiment 1 of an inductive component. FIGS. 7 and 8 show different views of a second embodiment of an inductive component. The inductive component shown in FIGS. 1A, 1B, and 7 and 8 can be embodied as a data line inductor (common-mode choke). The data line inductor can be used in radio-frequency applications, in particular in interfaces of high-speed communication networks, for example Ethernet buses. The component is distinguished by a low mode conversion, a low inductance in differential-mode operation, a high inductance for common-mode signals, a constant characteristic impedance and a symmetrical winding arrangement. Furthermore, the inductive component has a low capacitive coupling of the wires 10 and 20 and a low leakage inductance. In the case of an inductance value of, in particular, between 200 H and 400 H, the inductive component can have for example a length of between 2 mm and 5 mm, a width of between 2 mm and 5 mm and a height of between 2 mm and 5 mm.

(17) FIG. 1A shows a first embodiment 1 of the inductive component from the underside, while FIG. 1B shows the inductive component 1 from the opposite top side. The component comprises a wire 10 and a wire 20 serving as outgoing and return conductors, respectively, of a differential signal. Furthermore, the inductive component comprises a core 100 having a core part 110 and a core part 120. The core part 110 can be embodied as a so-called I-core. The core part 110 can comprise a flange section 111, a flange section 112 and a wire winding section 113 for winding with the wires 10 and 20. The flange sections 111 and 112 are arranged at different ends of the wire winding section 113. The core part 120 can be embodied as a plate core that is fitted on the flange sections 111 and 112 of the core part 110 for closing the magnetic circuit. The core part 120 can be held at the core part 110 for example by an adhesive connection.

(18) The inductive component comprises a multiplicity of contact mounts 210, 220, 230 and 240 for contacting a respective end of the wires 10 and 20. A first end of the wire 10 is held at a contact mount 210 and a second end of the wire 10 is held at a contact mount 220. A first end of the wire 20 is held at the contact mount 230 and a second end of the wire 20 is held at the contact mount 240. The contact mounts 210 and 230 are arranged at the flange section 111 and the contact mounts 220 and 240 are arranged at the flange section 112. The flange sections 111 and 112 each have a groove 1114 and 1124 for leading through the wires 10 and 20. The wire 10 proceeding from the contact mount 210 can be led through the groove 1114 of the flange section in and be wound around the wire winding section 113 from the side of the flange section 111 in the direction of the flange section 112. The wire 10 can then be led through the groove 1124 of the flange section 112 to the contact mount 220 and be fixed thereto. The wire 20 proceeding from the contact mount 230 can be led through the groove 1114 of the flange section 111 and be wound around the wire winding section 113. The winding runs from the flange section 111 in the direction of the flange section 112. The wire 20 can then be led through the groove 1124 of the flange section 112 to the contact mount 240 and be fixed thereto.

(19) The wires 10 and 20 are guided in a twisted fashion parallel to one another and are arranged jointly and thus simultaneously on the wire winding section during the winding of the wire winding section 113. Both wires have virtually the same length between the respective contact mounts of their ends. The wires 10 and 20 are arranged as a twisted wire pair on the wire winding section 113 in order to improve the impedance characteristic of the inductive component.

(20) FIGS. 2A and 2B show different views of the core part 110 of the inductive component 1 from FIGS. 1A and 1B. The core part 110 has the flange sections 111 and 112, which are arranged at different sides of the wire winding section 113. The flange sections 111, 112 project beyond the wire winding section 113 transversely with respect to the longitudinal direction of the wire winding section in all directions. The flange sections 111 and 112 are arranged symmetrically with respect to a longitudinal axis of the wire winding section.

(21) The flange section 111 has a surface 1111, a surface 1112 and a surface 1113. The two surfaces 1111 and 1112 of the flange section 111 are arranged opposite relative to the surface 1113 of the flange section 111. The groove 1114 separates the surfaces 1111 and 1112 from one another. The groove 1114 is arranged in the center of the flange section 111 and opens centrally on the wire winding section 113. The flange section 111 thus has two limbs spaced apart from one another via the groove 1114.

(22) The flange section 112 has a surface 1121, a surface 1122 and a surface 1123. The two surfaces 1121 and 1122 of the flange section 112 are arranged opposite relative to the surface 1123 of the flange section 112. The groove 1124 separates the surfaces 1121 and 1122 of the flange section 112 from one another. The groove 1124 is arranged in the center of the flange section 112 and opens centrally on the wire winding section 113. The flange section 112 thus has two limbs spaced apart from one another by the groove 1124.

(23) The flange section 111 has an inner side wall 1115 arranged between the surfaces 1111, 1112 of the flange section 111 and the surface 1113 of the flange section 111 and facing the wire winding section 113. The flange section 111 furthermore has an outer side wall 1116 arranged between one of the surfaces 1111, 1112 and the surface 1113 of the flange section 111 and arranged opposite relative to the inner side wall 1115 of the flange section 111. The flange section 111 furthermore has an inner side wall 1117 arranged between one of the surfaces 1111, 1112 of the flange section 111 and a bottom surface 1119 of the groove 1114 of the flange section 111. The flange section 111 furthermore has an outer side wall 1118 arranged between one of the surfaces 1111, 1112 of the flange section 111 and the surface 1113 of the flange section 111 and arranged opposite relative to the inner side wall 1117 of the flange section 111.

(24) The flange section 112 has an inner side wall 1125 arranged between one of the surfaces 1121, 1122 of the flange section 112 and the surface 1123 of the flange section 112 and facing the wire winding section 113. The flange section 112 furthermore has an outer side wall 1126 arranged between one of the surfaces 1121, 1122 of the flange section 112 and the surface 1123 of the flange section 112 and arranged opposite relative to the inner side wall 1125 of the flange section 112. Furthermore, the flange section 112 has an inner side wall 1127 arranged between one of the surfaces 1121, 1122 of the flange section 112 and a bottom surface 1129 of the groove 1124 of the flange section 112. Furthermore, the flange section 112 has an outer side wall 1128 arranged between one of the surfaces 1121, 1122 of the flange section 112 and the surface 1123 of the flange section 112 and arranged opposite relative to the inner side wall 1127 of the flange section 112.

(25) In the case of the embodiment of the core part 110 as shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B, the respective inner side walls 1117 and 1127 of the flange sections 111 and 112 are arranged at right angles relative to the respective outer side wall 1116, 1126 and the respective inner side wall 1115, 1125 of the flange sections 111 and 112. The edges of the wire winding section 113 can be rounded along the length of the wire winding section 113 in order to avoid damage to the wires 10 and 20 during the winding of the wire winding section 113. Furthermore, the edge transitions between the wire winding section 113 and the flange sections 111 and 112 can likewise be rounded with a small radius, whereby the mechanical stability of the core can be increased. The material of the core is chosen in such a way that the inductive component has a high inductance for common-mode signals and a low DC resistance.

(26) FIG. 3 shows a respective embodiment of the contact mounts 210, 220, 230 and 240 for fixing the ends of the wires 10 and 20. Each of the contact mounts 210, . . . , 240 has a base part 201 and a side part 202. Furthermore, each of the contact mounts 210, . . . , 240 has a guide element 203 for guiding the wires 10 and 20 and a contacting element 204 for contacting the wires 10 and 20. The guide element 203 and the contacting element 204 are arranged on the respective side part 202 of the contact mounts. The respective guide element 203 of the contact mounts can be fitted as a hooked projection to the respective side part 202 of the contact mounts. The respective contacting element 204 can have a semi-circularly curved section at which respectively flat material sections are arranged. Such a contacting element is suitable in particular for fixing the wire ends by means of soldering or welding, in particular by means of laser-pulsed welding.

(27) FIG. 4 shows the core part 110 having the flange sections 111 and 112 and the wire winding section 113 arranged therebetween. The contact mounts 210 and 230 are arranged on the flange section 111, while the contact mounts 220 and 240 are arranged on the flange section 112. The respective base part 201 of the contact mounts 210 and 230 can be adhesively bonded on one of the surfaces 1111 and 1112 of the flange section 111. The respective side part 202 of the contact mounts 210 and 230 can be adhesively bonded onto the outer side wall 1116 of the flange section 111. The contact mounts 220 and 240 can be fixed to the flange section 112 in the same way. The respective base part 201 of the contact mounts 220 and 240 is adhesively bonded on one of the surfaces 1121, 1122 of the flange section 112. The respective side part 202 of the contact mounts 220 and 240 is adhesively bonded onto the outer side wall 1126 of the flange section 112.

(28) As is further shown in FIG. 4, the insulation is stripped from the ends of the wires 10 and 20 and they are welded with contacting elements 204 of the contact mounts. The wires 10 and 20 proceeding from the respective contact mounts 210 and 230 are guided by the guide elements 203 of the respective contact mounts and through the groove 1114 of the flange section in to the wire winding section 113. The wire winding section is wound with the spatially jointly guided wires 10 and 20. The wires are guided at the flange section 112 through the groove 1124 and the ends of the wires 10, 20 are fixed to the corresponding contact mounts 220 and 240.

(29) FIGS. 5A and 5B show one embodiment of the core part 120, which can be embodied as a plate core. FIG. 5A shows the top side of the core part 120 and FIG. 5B shows the associated underside of the core part 120. The core part 120 embodied as a plate core has a surface 121 having a lateral region 1211, a lateral region 1212 and a central region 1213 arranged therebetween. The surface 121 is situated opposite a surface 122 of the core part 120. Furthermore, the core part 120 has at least one side wall 123 arranged between the surface 121 and the surface 122. In the case of the embodiment of the core part 120 as shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B, the lateral regions 1211 and 1212 of the surface 121 of the core part 120 are embodied in an elevated fashion in comparison with the central region 1213 of the surface 121 of the core part 120.

(30) FIG. 5C shows a further embodiment of the core part 120 having the surface 122 situated opposite the surface 121 and having the side wall 123 of the core part 120 that lies between the surfaces 121 and 122. In contrast to the embodiment of the core part 120 as shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B, both the surface 121 and the surface 122 are embodied as a planar surface.

(31) In order to close the magnetic circuit in the case of the inductive component, the core part 120, as shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B, is arranged on the flange sections 111 and 112. As is evident from FIGS. 1A and 1B, the core part 120 is arranged on the respective surfaces 1113 and 1123 of the flange sections 111 and 112. The core part 120 can be adhesively bonded onto the flange sections 111 and 112, for example. For this purpose, the lateral region 1211 of the surface 121 is adhesively bonded onto the surface 1113 of the flange section 111. The lateral region 1212 of the surface 121 of the core part 120 is adhesively bonded onto the surface 1123 of the flange section 112.

(32) In accordance with one possible embodiment, an adhesive layer 310 can be arranged between the surface 1113 of the flange section 111 and the lateral region 1211 of the surface 121 of the core part 120. A further adhesive layer 320 can be arranged between the surface 1123 of the flange section 112 and the lateral region 1212 of the surface 121 of the core part 120. The adhesive layer 310 and the adhesive layer 320 can be applied to the lateral regions 1211 and 1212 of the surface 121 of the core part 120 and/or to the surfaces 1113, 1123 of the flange sections 111, 112 in such a way that a gap S having a gap width of less than 25 m is formed between the core part 110 and the core part 120 when the core parts 110 and 120 are adhesively bonded together.

(33) In accordance with a further possible embodiment, the adhesive bonding of the core part 110 with the core part 120 can be carried out by an adhesive layer 310 being arranged above a gap S between the side wall 123 of the core part 120 and one of the outer side walls 1116 and 1118 of the flange section 111. A further adhesive layer 320 can be arranged above a gap S between the side wall 123 of the core part 120 and one of the outer side walls 1126, 1128 of the flange section 112. In this embodiment, the adhesive layers 310 and 320 are not applied between the respective contact areas of the core parts 110 and 120, but rather are applied laterally at the two core parts. As a result, the gap width between the core parts 110 and 120 can be reduced to a gap width that is less than 10 m.

(34) In accordance with one advantageous embodiment, the surface 1113 of the flange section 111 and/or the lateral region 1211 of the surface 121 of the core part 120 can be ground. Likewise, the surface 1123 of the flange section 112 and/or the lateral region 1212 of the surface 121 of the core part 120 can be ground. By way of example, mirror grinding or so-called lapping can be used for grinding the surfaces. As a result, even with relatively coarse granulation, very high surface qualities can be achieved owing to the small material removal. On account of the abovementioned types of grinding, the surfaces 1113 and 1123 and the lateral regions 1211 and 1212 of the surface 121 are very smooth, such that the gap width between the core parts 110 and 120 can be reduced again as a result when the core parts 110 and 120 are joined together.

(35) On account of the large and planar contact area and the small gap width associated therewith between the core part 110 and the core part 120, large inductance values can be achieved with the inductive component.

(36) FIG. 6 shows a second embodiment 2 of the inductive component. The inductive component comprises a core 100 having a core part 110 and a core part 120. The core part 110 has the flange sections 111 and 112 and the wire winding section 113 for winding with the wires 10 and 20. In a manner similar to that in the case of the embodiment 1 of the inductive component, each of the flange sections 111 and 112 has a groove 1114 and 1124, respectively, for leading through the wires 10 and 20. The contact mounts 210, 220, 230 and 240 already known from the embodiment 1 of the inductive component are provided for contacting the ends of the wires 10 and 20.

(37) In the case of the embodiment 2 of the inductive component, the core part 120 can have one of the embodiments shown in FIGS. 5A, 5B and 5C, wherein in FIG. 6 the inductive component 2 comprises the core part 120 in accordance with the configurational form shown in FIGS. 5A and B. The lateral region 1211 of the surface 121 of the core part 120 can be adhesively bonded on the surface 1113 of the flange section 111. The lateral region 1212 of the surface 121 of the core part 120 can be adhesively bonded on the surface 1123 of the flange section 112. The lateral regions of the surface 121 and/or the surfaces 1113, 1123 of the flange sections 111, 112 can be ground smooth before the two core parts are connected, for example by mirror grinding or lapping as already mentioned above.

(38) In a manner similar to that in the case of the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B, an adhesive layer can be arranged between the contact areas of the flange sections 111 and 112 and the core part 120. As an alternative thereto, the adhesive layer can also be arranged laterally at the flange section 111 and the core part 120 and also laterally at the flange section 112 and the core part 120.

(39) Only the differences in the embodiment 2 in comparison with the embodiment 1 of the inductive component are discussed below. In this case, besides FIG. 6, reference is also made to FIG. 7, which shows the inductive component 2 shown in FIG. 6 two-dimensionally in a plan view.

(40) The wires 10 and 20 can be guided through the groove 1114 of the flange section 111 from the contact mounts 210 and 230 onto the wire winding section 113. After the wires have been wound around the wire winding section 113, the wires 10, 20 are guided through the groove 1124 of the flange section 112 and fixed to the contact mounts 220, 240. In contrast to the embodiment of the inductive component 1 as shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B or the embodiment of the core part 110 of the inductive component 1 as shown in FIG. 2B, in the case of the embodiment 2 of the inductive component as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the respective inner side surfaces 1117, 1127 of the flange sections 111, 112 of the core part 110 are not arranged at right angles relative to the inner side wall 1115 and the outer side wall 1116 of the flange section 111 nor at right angles to the inner side wall 1125 and the outer side wall 1126 of the flange section 112.

(41) FIG. 8 shows, for better illustration, the core part 110 of the embodiment of the inductive component 2 as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7 without the wire winding. The respective inner side wall 1117, 1127 of the flange sections 111, 112 has a section A1 and a section A2. The respective section A1 of the inner side walls 1117, 1127 of the flange sections 111, 112 is arranged at right angles relative to the respective outer side wall 1116, 1126 of the flange sections 111, 112. The respective section A2 of the inner side walls 1117, 1127 of the flange sections 111, 112 is arranged obliquely, for example at an angle of between 120 and 160, relative to the respective section A1 of the inner side walls 1117, 1127 and relative to the respective inner side wall 1115, 1125 of the flange sections 111, 112. In contrast to the embodiment of the core part 110 as shown in FIGS. 1A, 1B and 2B, this type of embodiment of the core part 110 allows a very fast winding of the wire winding section 113 with the wires 10 and 20 and increases the symmetry of the inductive component in the region of the grooves 1114 and 1124.

(42) FIGS. 9 and 10 show different types of winding with which the wires 10 and 20 can be wound onto the wire winding section 113 of the core part 110. The wires 10 and 20 are arranged jointly, simultaneously in FIG. 9, on the wire winding section 113. Both wires 10 and 20 have the same length between the respective contact mounts to which their ends are fixed.

(43) In the case of the embodiment shown in FIG. 9, a multiplicity of turns n.sub.1, . . . , n.sub.x of the wires 10 and turns m.sub.1, . . . , m.sub.x of the wires 20 are applied in a twisted fashion on the wire winding section 113. Such an embodiment is shown for example in FIGS. 1A and 1B. Each of the turns n.sub.1, . . . n.sub.x and m.sub.1, . . . , m.sub.x is wound once around the wire winding section 113. In each of the turns, the wires 10 and 20 are arranged alongside one another and one above another in the longitudinal direction of the wire winding section 113. In each of the turns, the wires 10 and 20 are arranged in a manner twisted among one another.

(44) In this case, the wires 10 and 20 are wound onto the wire winding section 113 in such a way that after guiding the wires 10 and 20 through the groove 1114 of the flange section 111, a first turn n.sub.1, m.sub.1 of the wires 10, 20 is arranged directly on the wire winding section 113 alongside the respective inner side wall 1115 of the flange section 111. Subsequently to the turn n.sub.1, m.sub.1, at least one further turn n.sub.2, m.sub.2, n.sub.3, m.sub.3 is arranged on the first turn n.sub.1, m.sub.1. Consequently, the inductive component comprises a multiplicity of winding sections having turns arranged one above another. After a first winding section has been wound from the turns n.sub.1, m.sub.1, n.sub.2, m.sub.2 and n.sub.3, m.sub.3, a further turn n.sub.4, m.sub.4 is arranged directly onto the wire winding section 113 alongside the first turn n.sub.1, m.sub.1, further turns n.sub.5, m.sub.5 and n.sub.6, m.sub.6 again being arranged above said further turn. A second winding section comprises for example the turns n.sub.4, m.sub.4, n.sub.5, m.sub.5 and n.sub.6, m.sub.6. In this way, between the inner side wall 1115 of the flange section 111 and the inner side wall 1125 of the flange section 112, the winding space is filled with a multiplicity of winding sections each comprising turns arranged one above another.

(45) By virtue of the use of the twisted wires 10 and 20 and the position of the wires 10 and 20 in the various turns, as shown in FIG. 9, and the multiplicity of winding sections having twisted wires arranged one above another, the inductive component has a low and symmetrical capacitive coupling of the wires among one another and also a low mode conversion and a low leakage inductance. The wires 10 and 20 can already be twisted among one another before application to the wire winding section 113 or can be twisted only with the wrapping of the wire winding section. The number of turns depends on the desired inductance of the component. If the inductive component is intended to have an inductance of 350 mH, for example, in total approximately 50 turns are necessary for this purpose.

(46) FIG. 10 shows a further winding method and a further possible arrangement of the wires 10 and 20 on the wire winding section 113 of the core part 110. In this embodiment, too, a multiplicity of turns n.sub.i, m.sub.i where i=1, . . . , x of the wires 10 and 20 are arranged on the wire winding section 113. Each of the turns n.sub.i, m.sub.i is wound once around the wire winding section 113. In each of the turns n.sub.i, m.sub.i, the wires 10 and 20 are arranged one above another perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the wire winding section 113. In contrast to the embodiment shown in FIG. 9, however, the wires are arranged in an untwisted manner.

(47) The wires 10 and 20 are wound on the wire winding section 113 in such a way that after guiding the wires 10 and 20 through the groove 1114 of the flange section 111, a first winding part comprising the turns n.sub.1, m.sub.2, . . . , n.sub.j, m.sub.j of the wires 10, 20 and a second winding part comprising the turns n.sub.j+i, m.sub.j+1, . . . , n.sub.x, m.sub.x, are arranged on the wire winding section 113. The turns n.sub.1, m.sub.2, . . . , n.sub.j, m.sub.j are arranged directly alongside one another on the wire winding section 113 alongside the first inner side wall 1115 of the flange section 111. In each turn of the first winding part, the wires 10 and 20 are arranged in the same position relative to one another. Subsequently to the first winding part, the second winding part is arranged directly onto the wire winding section 113 between the first winding part and the inner side wall 1125 of the flange section 112. In each turn of the second winding part n.sub.j+i, m.sub.j+1, . . . , n.sub.x, m.sub.x, the wires 10 and 20 are arranged in the same position relative to one another. However, the position of the wires 10 and 20 in the first winding part is different than the position of the wires 10 and 20 in the second winding part. The crossover of the positions of the wires takes place at half of the length of the wire winding section 113. By virtue of the type of winding shown in FIG. 10, the inductive component has a low mode conversion, a symmetrical capacitive overcoupling between the wires 10 and 20 and also a low leakage inductance.

(48) The wires 10 and 20 can be wound onto the wire winding section 113 in a manner arranged one above another proceeding from one of the side walls 1115, 1125 as far as the other of the side walls, wherein the vertical position of the wires in the individual turns is transposed in the center of the wire winding section. In accordance with a different winding method, the wires 10 proceeding from the side wall 1115 in the direction of the side wall 1125 and the wires 20 proceeding from the side wall 1125 in the direction of the side wall 1115 can be wound around the wire winding section 113, wherein in the center of the wire winding section 113 the wires 10 are wound over the wires 20 as far as the side wall 1125 and the wires 20 are wound over the wires 10 as far as the side wall 1115.

(49) The twisted type of winding of the wires 10 and 20 as shown in FIG. 9 and the crossed type of winding of the wires 10 and 20 as shown in FIG. 10 can be applied in each of the embodiments 1 and 2.
