Method for surface mounting a coil

A method for mounting an elongate coil on a printed circuit board, comprising the steps of:

• removing insulation from areas of an insulated wire at locations near the ends of said wire, and at a plurality of tap offs intermediate said ends at predetermined longitudinal locations during the winding of said wire around an elongate core to form an elongate coil with opposite axial ends the positions of said locations with said insulation removed on the wound coil having a spacing corresponding to the location of connection pads on said printed circuit board at which electrical connection between said coil and said printed circuit board is to be made.
• mounting the coil on said printed circuit board, while aligning the areas on said coil where insulation has been removed from said wire to be in proximity with said connection pads on said printed circuit board where electrical connection between said coil and said printed circuit board is to be made;
• and
• applying a surface mounting attachment technique to substantially simultaneously form an electrical and mechanical connection between the areas of wire at which insulation has been removed and said connection pads.

A method for mounting a coil on a printed circuit board, comprising the steps of:

• space winding a wire around an elongate core to form an elongate coil with opposite axial ends;
• coating said coil with insulation;
• removing said insulation from areas of said wire at locations near said ends of said coil, and at a plurality of tap offs intermediate said ends at predetermined longitudinal locations along said coil, said locations having a spacing corresponding to locations of connection pads on said circuit board at which electrical connection between said coil and said printed circuit board is to be made;
• mounting said coil on said printed circuit board, while aligning the locations on said coil where insulation has been removed from said wire to be in proximity with said connection pads on said printed circuit board;
• and
• applying a surface mounting attachment technique to substantially simultaneously form an electrical and mechanical connection between the areas of wire at which insulation has been removed and said connection pads.

A method for mounting a coil on a printed circuit board, comprising the steps of:

• space winding uninsulated wire around an elongate core to form an elongate coil with opposite axial ends;
• masking said wire areas of said wire at locations near said ends of said coil, and at a plurality of tap offs intermediate said ends at predetermined longitudinal locations along its length, said locations having a spacing corresponding to the locations of connection pads on said circuit board at which electrical connection is to be made;
• coating said coil with insulation, thereby covering all of said coil with insulation except for those areas which have been masked;
• mounting said coil on said printed circuit board, while aligning the locations on said coil which have been masked and are not coated with insulation to be in proximity with said connection pads on said printed circuit board;
• and
• applying a surface mounting attachment technique to substantially simultaneously form an electrical and mechanical connection between the areas of wire not coated with insulation and said connection pads.

A method for mounting a coil on a printed circuit board, comprising the steps of:

• winding an insulated wire around an elongate core having a plurality of spaced flanges to form an elongate coil with opposite axial ends;
• removing insulation from said wire at locations near said ends of said coil, and at a plurality of tap offs intermediate said ends at locations there said wire passes over said flanges, said locations having a spacing corresponding to the location of connection pads on said printed circuit board at which electrical connection between said coil and said printed circuit board is to be made;
• aligning said locations where insulation has been removed with said connection pads on said printed circuit board where electrical connection between said coil and said printed circuit board is to be made;
• mounting said coil on said printed circuit board, while aligning the locations on said coil where insulation has been removed from said wire to be in proximity with said connection pads on said printed circuit board;
• and
• applying a surface mounting attachment technique to substantially simultaneously form an electrical and mechanical connection between said locations on the wire when insulation has been removed and said connection pads.
