Abstract: The present invention relates to a coil (1) for an inductor (6), comprised by metal wire (2) wound circular around a centre axis (C), wherein the wire has an electrically insulating layer (3) insulating each turn of the wire in the winding from neighbouring turns,the shape of the complete winding, building up the coil (1), is substantially toroidal having a substantially elliptic cross section, wherein the thermal heat conductivity is above 1 W/m*K more preferably above 1,2 and most preferably above 1,5. The invention further relates to a magnetic core (7) suitable for an inductor (6), where in the core is made of a soft magnetic composite material made of metallic particles and a binder material, said particles are in the range of 1?m-1000 ?m, particles that are larger than 150 are coated with a ceramic surface to provide particle to particle electrical insulation, wherein the volume of magnetic, metallic particles to total core volume is 0,5-0,9.

Abstract: A process for production of a packed soft magnetic component, comprises the steps of:—preparing a rotational mold, consisting of at least one mold cavity connected to a driven rotational axle, arranging a coil in the mold, filling the at least one mold cavity with a binder and a soft magnetic, metallic material in the form of a powder,—driving the axle for rotation of said at least one mold, whereby the soft magnetic, metallic material is packed by centrifugal forces to one side of said at least one mold cavity, mixed with the binder, thus forming a component comprising a soft magnetic composite with a coil embedded therein.
