## Abstract

The invention proposes a method of producing induction components each containing a coil, wherein the coils are wound on a wire-winding plate, containing a multiplicity of wire-winding stubs arranged in rows and columns, using a wire which is continuous for a plurality of coils. The template provided with the coils is then pressed in a molding press with ferromagnetic substrate powder, which embeds the coils. Once the template has been removed, the interiors of the coils are provided with substrate powder, and pressed, once again in a molding press. Electrical contact is then made with the connections and the block is divided up into individual induction components each containing a coil.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method of producing induction components, having the following method steps wherein the steps are performed in a sequential order:
a winding operation is carried out for a multiplicity of coils arranged one beside the other and having parallel coil axes;
the coils are embedded at intervals in a block made of pressed substrate;
the interior of the coils the block is filled with the substrate, which is present in powder form;
the substrate powder is pressed;
the two ends of the winding of all the coils are exposed;
the exposed ends of the coil windings are provided with connection contacts;
the block is then divided up to form the individual induction components each containing at least one coil.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The method according to claim 1, wherein the block (8) is formed by virtue of the substrate powder being pressed around the coils (5) arranged therein.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The method according to claim 1, wherein the block (8) is produced with a respective cavity, which corresponds in shape and size at least to one coil (5) of the multiplicity of coils (5), and the coils (5) are inserted into the respective cavity.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The method according to claim 1, wherein, in order to produce the coils (5), use is made of a template (1) with a multiplicity of stubs (3), which are arranged one beside the other and run parallel to one another and around which a wire (4) is wound.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The method according to claim 4, wherein the template with the coils (5) wound on its stubs (3), is incorporated in a moulding press (6), and then the substrate powder is applied to the template (1) and pressed in the moulding press (6).

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The method according to claim 5, wherein, once the substrate powder has been pressed, the template (1) is removed from the block (8) generated by virtue of the substrate powder being pressed, the block (8) is incorporated in a moulding press (10), and then substrate is filled up into the moulding press (10), in order to fill the interior of the coils (5), and pressed.

### Claim 7 (depends on 6)

The method according to claim 6, characterized in that the interior of the coils is filled up, at least in part, with a prefabricated core.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The method according to claim 1, wherein, prior to the connection contacts (14) being applied, incisions are cut into the upper side of the block (8), between the individual regions containing the coils (5), part of the way along the height of the block, and the connection contacts (14) are also applied to the walls of the incisions (13).

### Claim 9 (depends on 8)

The method according to claim 8, wherein the incisions (13) are made at the location where the block (8) is later divided up to form the individual induction components (15).

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

The method according to claim 1, wherein the coils (5) are arranged in a matrix-like arrangement, in rows and columns, in the block (8).

### Claim 11 (depends on 1)

The method according to claim 1, wherein, once the ends of the winding of all the coils (5) have been exposed, strip-like masking (12) takes place.

### Claim 12 (depends on 1)

The method according to claim 1, characterized in that the block (8) is pressed isostatically, in particular in a liquid-filled pressure vessel.

### Claim 13 (depends on 1)

The method according to claim 1, characterized in that the operation of exposing the ends of the coil windings takes place by means of mechanical removal.

### Claim 14 (depends on 1)

An induction component, produced by the method according to claim 1.
