Abstract: A coil body with a hollow housing body is provided that has on a first side an opening for the intake of a coil into the housing body along an inserting direction and a housing wall that extends between the first side of the housing body and a second side that is located opposite. The coil body further comprises multiple electric contacts and a plurality of guiding grooves that are disposed along the housing wall and that are each formed for guiding of a connection wire in order to connect a coil, which has been absorbed by the housing body, to the contacts. The contacts are thereby disposed on the second side on the housing body.

Abstract: An apparatus for monitoring a magnetic core, wherein the apparatus provides a measurement winding which is magnetically coupled to the magnetic core to be monitored, a comparison inductance which is electrically connected in series with the winding and an electronic processing unit which is designed to determine the saturation behavior of the magnetic core to be monitored. The electronic processing unit is configured to record a first electrical signal occurring at the measurement winding and a second electrical signal occurring at the comparison inductance in response to an electrical measurement signal applied to the measurement winding, and to determine the saturation behavior of the magnetic core to be monitored on the basis of the first and second electrical signals. This makes it possible to easily monitor the saturation behavior of a magnetic core and to reliably detect the occurrence of saturation of the magnetic core.

Abstract: In various aspects, a plate-shaped leakage structure as an insert in a magnetic core of an inductive component, a magnetic core having a plate-shaped leakage structure, and an inductive component. In illustrative embodiments, a plate-shaped leakage structure is provided as an insert in a magnetic core, which is passed through, along the thickness direction thereof, by at least one spacer having a very low magnetic permeability (as opposed to the rest of the material of the leakage structure). In a magnetic core according to an aspect, core legs are arranged above opposite bearing surfaces of the plate-shaped leakage structure, the plate-shaped leakage structure providing a leakage path between the core legs.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a choke with two coils and a core for interleaved applications in step-up or step-down circuits or power factor compensation circuits. The core comprises several core sections with several lateral legs and a middle leg, whereby the core is designed such, that a coupling factor k of the two coils is smaller than 3%-5%. Furthermore, the core is designed such, that the core section form two loops with the middle leg as a common section, whereby each of the two coils lies on different loops outside of the common section. The lateral legs have a cross section A1 and the middle leg for the common section has a cross section A2<2×A1.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method of forming a frame core (1) having a center leg (3) for an inductive component, and an accordingly formed frame core (1) having a center leg (3) and an air gap (4) in the center leg (3). The frame core (1) is formed integrally with the center leg (3), the air gap (4) being molded into the center leg (3) during the formation of the frame core (1).

Abstract: A rod-shaped magnetic core element, having a first end with a spherical or cylindrical recess or a spherical or cylindrical connecting protrusion, and a second end with a spherical or cylindrical recess or a spherical or cylindrical connecting protrusion so that a bent connection of at least two magnetic core elements is variably adjustable. Magnetic core elements comprising spherical or cylindrical magnetic core ends of this type allow a nearly gap-free construction with little magnetic leakage due to slightly larger end surfaces in comparison with ferrite rods having beveled plane end section surfaces. The enlarged end surface of the spherical surface advantageously allows a more stable connection of individual magnetic core elements without adhesive bonding. This allows the construction of flexible, multiple-member and inexpensive rod core coils and antennae.

Abstract: Core bodies which have an alignment structure and allow an alignment during the production of magnetic cores irrespective of production tolerances, in which the production tolerances are compensated. In illustrative embodiments a core body of ferromagnetic material comprises a crossbar having an aspect ratio of length to width greater than 1, and at least one core leg extending laterally away from the crossbar along an extension direction. An alignment recess is formed in a rear surface of the crossbar, which is arranged on a side of the crossbar opposite the core legs. A magnetic core is formed of core bodies, whereby at least one core body is provided with an alignment recess, and the core bodies are aligned relative to one another.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a housing (100) for receiving an electric component, comprising a hollow housing body (110) with an opening (OS) on one side, which is characterized by a bottom (B) underneath the opening (OS), a lid (D) above the opening (OS), and two side walls (AS1, AS2) adjacent to the opening (OS), and at least two electric contacts (120a to 120f) provided on the bottom (B) of the housing body (110) on opposite housing sides, wherein a first contact (120a) of the electric contacts (120a to 120f) is situated in the region of the opening (OS).

Abstract: A driving module for a gas discharge lamp, in particular for headlights in vehicles, comprises a suitable lamp socket, a carrier for electrical components, and an ignition transformer, wherein the component part carrier is populated at least with electrical components of an ignition unit and moreover is designed for accommodating further electrical components that are required for a self-sustaining operation of the driving module. In addition, the lamp socket is made of a high temperature resistant plastic material and has an integrated high-voltage conducting track.

Abstract: Disclosed is a position sensor, in particular a rotor position sensor, comprising a base. A track that is provided with a conducting coating is formed within the surface of the base relevant for evaluating signals. Since the track is formed within the base, the desired position-dependent modulation of the eddy current behavior is obtained by design measures, resulting in low manufacturing tolerance and reduced production costs.
