Abstract
A surface mountable inductor is provided which is a rectangular cross section coil mounted to a dielectric block. The inductor avoids mechanical vibration and provides a flat top surface to facilitate use, for example, in circuit boards. Attachment of the device is facilitated by bi-sected connecting terminals.
Claims6
A surface mountable inductor comprising:
- a first plurality of sequentially disposed conductive circuits formed on one of two, parallel spaced apart surfaces of a dielectric substrate;
- a second plurality of sequentially disposed conductive circuits formed on the other of said two surfaces;
- each of the circuits of said first plurality and the circuits of said second plurality being separated from one another by said dielectric material;
- each terminal of a conductive strip of said first plurality of conductive circuits being respectively connected through a via hole in said dielectric material to an opposing terminal of a conductive strip of said second plurality of conductive circuits;
- such that said conductive circuits and via holes are connected to form a rectangularly spiral conductor within a plane intersecting a plane surface the dielectric substrate;
