Component carrier with magnetic element, magnetic inlay, and manufacturing method

A method of manufacturing a component carrier, the method comprising:

• providing a stack comprising at least one electrically conductive layer structure and at least one electrically insulating layer structure;
• assembling a magnetic element to the stack, the magnetic element comprising a magnetic matrix, wherein assembling includes at least partially enclosing an inductive element by the magnetic matrix to form the magnetic element;
• forming an electrical connector on the stack such that the electrical connector has a direction of main extension oriented substantially parallel to a direction of main extension of the stack,
• wherein a first part of the electrical connector is electrically connected to a first part of the inductive element and a second part of the electrical connector is electrically connected to a second part of the inductive element, such that an electric current flow direction through the inductive element is in a horizontal direction with respect to the stack.
