  • Patent number: 11875926
    Abstract: An inductor and method for making the same are provided. The inductor includes a coil formed from a conductor and having a serpentine shape. The coil may have an “S”-shape. The coil has two leads extending from opposite ends of the coil. An inductor body surrounds the coil and portions of the leads. The leads may be wrapped around the body to create contact points on the exterior of the inductor.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20210175002
    Abstract: A low profile high current composite transformer is disclosed. Some embodiments of the transformer include a first conductive winding having a first start lead, a first finish lead, a first plurality of winding turns, and a first hollow core; a second conductive winding having a second start lead, a second finish lead, a second plurality of turns, and a second hollow core; and a soft magnetic composite compressed surrounding the first and second windings. The soft magnetic composite with distributed gap provides for a near linear saturation curve.
