Abstract
A planar magnetic device comprising a planar core, a first plurality of planar windings having apertures, a second plurality of planar windings having apertures, a planar core surrounding at least a portion of the first and second plurality of planar windings, a first terminal having first and second legs separated by about ninety degrees, and a second terminal having first and second legs separated by about ninety degrees, wherein the first leg of the first terminal is positioned through the apertures in the first plurality of planar windings, the first leg of the second terminal is positioned through the apertures in the second plurality of planar windings such that the second leg of the first terminal is adjacent the second leg of the second terminal.
Claims6
A planar magnetic device comprising:
- a planar core;
- a first plurality of planar windings having apertures;
- a second plurality of planar windings having apertures;
- a planar core surrounding at least a portion of said first and second plurality of planar windings;
- a first terminal having first and second legs separated by about ninety degrees;
- and a second terminal having first and second legs separated by about ninety degrees, wherein only said first leg of said first terminal is positioned through said apertures in said first plurality of planar windings, only said first leg of said second terminal is positioned through said apertures in said second plurality of planar windings, said second leg of said first terminal having a first substantially flat surface and said second leg of said second terminal having a second flat surface, said first and second substantially flat surfaces being positioned in a juxtaposed relationship to define an interface terminal having a cross-sectional thickness greater than that of either said first leg of said first terminal or said first leg of said second terminal.
