Flyback transformer

A flyback transformer comprising:

• a casing having a coil disposed therein, said casing providing a first opening, said first opening disposed adjacent the periphery of said casing, said casing further having a plurality of terminal legs extending therefrom and electrically connected to said coil;
• a first terminal positioned in said first opening and electrically connected with said coil;
• mounting means disposed in the outside of said casing securing a component on the peripheral surface of said casing;
• a component housing having a second opening formed thereon and at least one terminal pin extending therefrom and electrically connected thereto;
• an electrical resistance element disposed within said component housing;
• a second terminal positioned in said second opening and electrically connected with said electrical resistance element;
• engaging means, disposed on said component housing, in cooperative engagement with said mounting means such that said component housing is detachably mounted on the surface of said casing, the axial direction of said first opening is aligned in parallel with the axial direction of said second opening, and such that said terminal pin is in parallel with and extending in the same direction as said terminal legs such that said terminal legs and terminal pin extend through a plane perpendicular thereto so as to be mounted on a common circuit board;
• and
• connector means providing an electrical connection between said first terminal and said second terminal, said connector means disposed between said first and second terminals.
