Abstract: The disclosure relates to a coil (100) comprising: a multi-part conductor (110) having a long extension (in relation to its cross-section), the multi-part conductor comprising two or more conductors (A,B) being electrically insulated from each other, wherein, in a cross-section of the multi-part conductor (110), at least two of said two or more conductors (A,B) are arranged adjacent to each other in the direction of the central axis (120), wherein said multi-part conductor (110) is wound around the central axis (120) in more than one circumferential turn, such that a first portion (130) of the multi-part conductor (110) is arranged adjacent to a second portion (132) of the multi-part conductor (110) in the direction of the central axis (120), and wherein said adjacent arrangement of said two or more conductors (A,B) is the same in relation to each other and in relation to the direction of a central axis (120) of the coil (100) for each circumferential turn.

Abstract: The invention relates to an inductor (1) having a coil (2) and a core (3), wherein the core (3) is made of a Soft Magnetic Composite (SMC), the coil (2) is composed of a annularly wound electrical conductor, the coil (2) is substantially integrated into said core (3) so that the core (3) material acts as a thermal conductor having thermal conductivity above 1.5 W/m*K more preferably 2 W/m*K most preferably 3 W/m*K, conducting heat from said coil (2), wherein the inductor (1) is in thermal connection with at least one thermal connecting fixture (10-25), wherein said at least one thermal connecting fixture (10-25) is adapted to be connected to a first external heat receiver (4) so as to conduct heat from the inductor to said first external heat receiver (4).
