Inductive component

An inductive component comprising:

• at least one electrical conductor;
• a coil former with a hollow-shaped winding former, on a surface of which the at least one electrical conductor is wound around the winding former;
• a magnetic core arranged in a first cavity of the winding former;
• a potting material,
• wherein the at least one electrical conductor is surrounded by the potting material,
• wherein the potting material has no directly adherent contact with the magnetic core,
• wherein the winding former comprises an inner part-body with a winding region for being wound with a first electrical conductor of the at least one electrical conductor and an outer part-body with a winding region for being wound with a second electrical conductor of the at least one electrical conductor,
• wherein the inner part-body comprises the first cavity for receiving the magnetic core, and
• wherein the outer part-body comprises a third cavity, in which the inner part-body is arranged;
• and
• a connection between the inner part-body and the outer part-body of the winding former comprising a tongue-and-groove connection in a region of flanges of the inner part-body and the outer part-body of the winding former,
• wherein a groove of the tongue-and-groove connection is a channel,
• wherein a fourth cavity between the first electrical conductor and the outer part-body is at least partially filled by the potting material,
• wherein the magnetic core is formed as a PQ core with an inner leg, which is arranged in the first cavity of the inner part-body of the coil former, and an outer leg, which at least partially surrounds the outer part-body of the coil former.

An inductive component comprising:

• at least one electrical conductor;
• a coil former with a hollow-shaped winding former, on a surface of which the at least one electrical conductor is wound around the winding former;
• a magnetic core arranged in a first cavity of the winding former;
• a potting material;
• and
• a protective body with a covering element configured to protect the at least one electrical conductor,
• wherein the at least one electrical conductor is surrounded by the potting material,
• wherein the potting material has no directly adherent contact with the magnetic core,
• wherein the magnetic core comprises a first part-body and a second part-body, which are connected to one another,
• wherein at least one of the first part-body or the second part-body of the magnetic core comprises a leg arranged in the first cavity of the winding former and at least one further leg arranged outside the first cavity of the winding former,
• wherein both the first part-body and the second part-body of the magnetic core are formed as a U core,
• wherein the coil former is fastened to the protective body and the at least one electrical conductor is covered by the covering element,
• wherein the winding former has a winding region for being wound with the at least one electrical conductor and a fastening region for fastening the coil former to the protective body, the fastening region arranged laterally of the winding region,
• wherein the fastening region and the protective body are shaped such that a tongue-and-groove connection for fastening the coil former to the winding former is formed between the fastening region and the protective body, and
• wherein a groove of the tongue-and-groove connection is a channel.
