Abstract
Open ends of a number of secondary windings are fixed by winding them around a film projection portion formed by cutting and raising insulating films provided between the layers of the secondary windings. This eliminates the requirement that a number of terminals on a bobbin corresponding to the secondary windings be fixed by winding them around the film projection portion, whereby the number of terminals provided on the bobbin can be reduced, and the bobbin can be made smaller in size.
Claims7
A step-up transformer comprising:
- a primary winding supplied with a switching voltage that switches at a predetermined frequency;
- a plurality of secondary windings for stepping up said switching voltage supplied to said primary winding, wherein said secondary windings are laminated in a plurality of layers, are divided based on a predetermined number of turns, and respectively are opened at first ends thereof;
- a bobbin for providing a predetermined spacing between said plurality of secondary windings and said primary winding and including a plurality of terminals for respectively winding second ends of said plurality of secondary windings therearound;
- a core inserted in said bobbin, excited by said switching voltage supplied to said primary winding, and forming a closed magnetic circuit;
- a plurality of insulating films wound around said bobbin so as to space said plurality of secondary windings from each other by respective predetermined thicknesses;
- rectifying portions provided at the second ends of said plurality of secondary windings for rectifying stepped-up voltages obtained at the second ends of said secondary windings;
- and
- a cut out film projection portion formed on each of said plurality of insulating films wherein said portion includes a substantially rectilinear shape around which the first ends of said secondary windings are wound.
