Abstract: A high energy inductor and method of manufacture relates to an inductor which is capable of mechanically withstanding the high magnetic forces imposed thereon during transfer of high energy pulses. The inductor is wound with a conductor under tensile stress, wherein the conductor has a fixed inner end and a free outer end.

Abstract: A wire-wound inductor includes a dielectric core, terminals including wire staples that are crimped around the core, and a wire winding disposed about the perimeter of the core and connected to the terminals. A coating such as an adhesive coating is disposed over the wire winding and between the terminals. The process for manufacturing the inductors in a continuous process. Beginning with a spooled material, which may be extruded, inductors are formed on a core material sequentially. The inductors are not physically separated until the final stages of manufacturing, which is in contrast to the prior art method in which each inductor is individually constructed on an individual core that has been manufactured with tight tolerances and wound individually. By virtue of the characteristics of the inductor components, extremely tight tolerances (typically about 0.0005") can be obtained, resulting in highly controlled inductance values.

Abstract: An electric noise suppressor is provided for suppressing high-frequency electric noise which comprises a thermoplastic housing and two ferrite members disposed therein. The thermoplastic housing is formed from two hingedly connected case halves, which are substantially identical. A ferrite member is secured to each case half by a laminated compressible adhesive-foam element, which is comprised of a resilient foam core layer and opposing adhesive layers disposed thereabout. Due to the resiliency of the foam core layer, the ferrite members are pressed into tight engagement within the thermoplastic housing. The end walls of the thermoplastic housing are formed with circular apertures, which are each formed with a diameter which is slightly smaller than the diameter of the cable which is engaged by the electric noise suppressor. The dimensional differences between the cable and the apertures allows the end walls to grippingly engage the cable at a predetermined location.
