Magnetic component with elevated bobbin

A magnetic device for an electronic circuit comprising:

• a printed circuit board having an upper surface;
• a bobbin disposed on the printed circuit board, the bobbin comprising
• a bobbin body having an axial passage,
• a first pin rail transversely spaced from the axial passage, the first pin rail having a first pin rail surface substantially facing away from the upper surface of the printed circuit board, and
• a second pin rail transversely spaced from the axial passage, the second pin rail having a second pin rail surface substantially facing away from the printed circuit board, the second pin rail spaced apart from the first pin rail by pin rail spacing distance;
• a winding disposed around the bobbin body;
• and
• a core having a core leg extending into the axial passage, the core having a lower core surface substantially facing the upper surface of the printed circuit board, a distance from the upper surface of the printed circuit board to the lower core surface being greater than a distance from the upper surface of the printed circuit board to the first pin rail surface and greater than a distance from the upper surface of the printed circuit board to the second pin rail surface, the distance from the upper surface of the printed circuit board to the lower core surface being at least seventy-five percent of the pin rail spacing distance between the first and second pin rails.

• a printed circuit board having an upper surface;
• a bobbin disposed on the printed circuit board, the bobbin comprising
• a bobbin body having an axial passage having a first end and a second end,
• a first pin rail located below the first end of the axial passage, and
• a second pin rail disposed below the second end of the axial passage, the second pin rail spaced apart from the first pin rail by a pin rail spacing distance;
• a winding disposed around the bobbin body;
• and
• a core having a core leg extending into the axial passage, the core having a lower core surface substantially facing the upper surface of the printed circuit board;
• wherein a distance between the upper surface of the printed circuit board and the lower core surface is at least seventy-five percent of the pin rail spacing distance between the first and second pin rails.
