Transformer for use with surface mounting technology

A small size, light weighted surface mount transformer assembly used in surface mount technology comprising a surface mountable transformer winding including:

• a spacer member having a plurality of conductors disposed therein;
• a magnetic core disposed onto said spacer member;
• said spacer member comprising a substantially flat housing having a width dimension of at least the width of said magnetic core;
• a bridge member having a U-shaped housing portion having a plurality of conductors disposed therein;
• said U-shaped housing portion having opposing sides, having a height dimension of said magnetic core and a connecting portion having a dimension to encompass the width of said magnetic core;
• said bridge member being disposed onto said magnetic core to substantially overlie said spacer member and substantially enclose exposed portions of said magnetic core overlying said spacer member;
• said conductors of said spacer member being coupled to said conductors of said bridge member, such as to form a continuous loop around said magnetic core to form said transformer winding.
• magnetic core to form said transformer winding.
