Abstract: A laminated inductor has an increased mechanical strength and includes insulating sheets each having coil conductors and relay via holes, and protective sheets each having lead via holes. The coil conductors are electrically connected in series via the relay via holes to define a coil having a substantially rhomboid shape. Each of the coil conductors is a pattern having a 1/2 turn which is substantially V-shaped. Each coil conductor is arranged at oblique angles relative to the edges of the respective insulating sheet, and the peripheral surfaces of the coil are inclined relative to the peripheral surfaces of the inductor.

Abstract: An electrical connection strip used for high density wiring in telecommunication systems includes an elongated block, a first and second row of connector elements and a conductor guide pivotally mounted to a bottom surface of the block. The connector elements are mounted within the block so that end portions of the first row of connector elements protrude through a top surface of the block and end portions of the second row of connector elements protrude through a bottom surface of the block. The conductor guide pivots to bend conductor wires connected to the second row of connector elements at the bottom surface of the block from a first position, in which the conductor wires are substantially parallel to the bottom surface, to a second position, in which the conductor wires are substantially perpendicular to the bottom surface.
