Printed circuit board with header for magnetics all mounted to mother board

An electronic device comprising:

• a first printed circuit board containing circuitry of the electronic device;
• a header comprising a support structure and a multiplicity of metallic pins passing through said support structure, portions of a plurality of said pins on one side of said support structure being mechanically and electrically mounted to said first printed circuit board to support said header in fixed offset relation to said first printed circuit board, and portions of said plurality of pins on an opposite side of said support structure being adapted to mechanically and electrically mount to a second printed circuit board to support said header in fixed offset relation to said second printed circuit board and provide electrical connection between second first printed circuit board and said second printed circuit board, said second printed circuit board being substantially parallel to said first board:
• and
• an inductor or transformer mounted to said support structure and including wires connected to respective pins, said respective pins being electrically and mechanically connected to either of said printed circuit boards.
