Abstract
An electronic circuit device may include a main circuit board having an inductor assembly mounting area thereon, and an inductor assembly coupled to the main circuit board adjacent the inductor assembly mounting area. The inductor assembly may include an inductor assembly circuit board with an inductor assembly circuit board though-opening therein, and closed-core inductors coupled to the inductor assembly circuit board in side-by-side relation and having lower portions extending into the inductor assembly circuit board though-opening.
Claims23
An electronic circuit device comprising:
- a main circuit board having an inductor assembly mounting area thereon;
- an inductor assembly coupled to the main circuit board adjacent the inductor assembly mounting area, the inductor assembly comprising
- an inductor assembly circuit board having an inductor assembly circuit board through-opening therein, and
- a plurality of closed-core inductors coupled to the inductor assembly circuit board in side-by-side relation and having lower portions extending into the inductor assembly circuit board though-opening.
An electronic circuit device comprising:
- a circuit board having a through-opening therein;
- a plurality of inductors, the inductors having a closed-core, the inductors coupled to the circuit board in side-by-side relation and having a portion of the cores extending into the through-opening;
- and
- the circuit board having conductive traces for each inductor.
