  • Magnetic core winding method
    Patent number: 7159816
    Abstract: The invention relates to winding wire around a magnetic core. The invention includes forming corners on the wire that align with inside corners of the magnetic core such that the wire is more tightly wound around the magnetic core. The invention also includes pinching a portion of wire that is positioned on the internal diameter of a magnetic core when the wire is wound around the core to provide more turns of the wire around the magnetic core. A magnetic inductor made in accordance with the present invention can have increased inductance, lower temperature rise, smaller size, and exhibit less EMI noise than the prior art.
