Abstract
An improved narrow profile transformer and method of making is disclosed comprising a primary winding and a secondary winding with the secondary winding being interleaved with the primary winding. The primary and secondary windings are spiral winding with all portions of the primary and secondary windings intersecting a geometric plane extending through the narrow profile transformer. The primary and secondary windings of the narrow profile transformer may be encapsulated within a polymeric material.
Claims19
An improved narrow profile transformer for transferring electric power from an electrical power source to an electrical load, comprising:
- primary winding means;
- said primary winding means being spirally wound with all portions of said primary winding means intersecting a geometric plane extending through the improved narrow profile transformer;
- secondary winding means being interleaved with said primary winding means with all portions of said secondary winding means intersecting said geometric plane;
