Method for manufacturing common mode or differential mode inductor and common mode or differential mode inductor

A common mode or differential mode inductor for connection to a printed circuit board (PCB);

• wherein the inductor comprises:
• a core;
• a first coil comprising a first insulated wire wound with a number of turns around the core;
• a supporting device for supporting the core and the first coil;
• wherein the supporting device comprises:
• a base element having a PCB contacting surface;
• and
• an first alignment element having a proximal end connected to the base element and a distal end provided at a distance from the PCB contacting surface, where the distal end is defining an alignment plane;
• wherein the core has a first end plane and a second end plane, wherein the first end plane is facing the alignment plane;
• wherein the second end plane is facing the base element;
• wherein each turn of the first insulated wire has a point furthest from the first end plane a distance in a normal direction towards the alignment plane, wherein the turn having the largest distance from the first end plane is aligned with the alignment plane.
