  • Patent number: 11250986
    Abstract: A coil component having a magnetic core, a bobbin accommodating the magnetic core, and at least one pair of coils wound around the outer part of the bobbin. The bobbin is implemented as a heat radiating member comprising: a polymer matrix; and graphite-nano metal composites which are provided in a plurality, are dispersed on the polymer matrix, and have nano-metal particles bonded to the surface of graphite. Accordingly, the heat generated from a coil component due to an applied current can most quickly and efficiently be conducted and radiated outside, and thus degrading of common-mode-noise rejection function is prevented and a differential signal can substantially be passed without attenuation. In addition, in spite of the heat generated from the coil component or external physical and chemical stimulation, heat radiating properties can last for a long time.

    Abstract: A vacuum cast or “solid” transformer coil assembly and a method of manufacturing thereof are provided. A solid transformer coil assembly, according to an embodiment of the invention, includes a dielectric substrate, the coil windings provided around the substrate, and an epoxy compound encapsulating the substrate and the coil windings. The substrate is provided with raised “buttons” comprising the same epoxy material as the epoxy compound used for encapsulation. The buttons maintain a specific distance between the coil and the dielectric substrate. The buttons are arranged such that they support the windings and allow the encapsulating epoxy to flow around them flooding the entire mold without entrapping air or creating voids.

  • Patent number: 8373532
    Abstract: In the winding wire at the winding completion end side, two wires are piled up vertically and wound together from the inner circumferential side towards the outer circumferential side. The winding wire at the winding start end side that has remained on the inner circumferential side is drawn forth from the inner circumferential side to the outer circumferential side so as to form a curve along the flat surface of the coil. In the crossing portions of the winding wire at the winding completion end side and the winding wire at the winding start end side, the two wires of each winding wire are superimposed and caused to cross each other in a state in which the wires are laid down transversely.

  • Patent number: 8350659
    Abstract: A transformer may include a first and a second continuous single piece multi-turn helical winding, one concentrically received by the other. The turns of the windings are electrically insulated from one another and spaced sufficiently close together to permit inductive coupling therebetween. The turns may be formed of a conductor having a rectangular cross-section, which may, or may not, include an electrically insulative sheath. The single piece multi-turn helical windings may have a continuous or smooth radius of curvature, with no discontinuities or singularities between first and second end terminals. The transformer may be formed by wrapping electrical conductor about a winding form. The transformer may be used in various electrical circuits, for example converter circuits.
