Abstract: Surface mount inductor components include pre-formed coils with integrated bottom sunken features and simply shaped core pieces configured to create magnetic gaps in an assembled core structure around the coils when desired. The magnetic gaps interrupt flux paths in the operating components and provide swing-inductor functionality. The magnetic gaps may be reliably and economically provided in the form of interior or exterior grooves or depressed surfaces that may be easily formed in the core pieces while also facilitating ease of assembly of the inductor components.

Abstract: A contactor for a vehicle, includes: a first wiring terminal, a second wiring terminal, a conducting bar, and a driving assembly. A first conduction section and a second conduction section of the conducting bar are connected to each other and are configured to rotate with respect to each other. The first conduction section is fixed on the first wiring terminal, and the second conduction section is electrically connected to or electrically disconnected from the second wiring terminal. The driving assembly is configured to drive the second conduction section to move toward or away from the second wiring terminal. The first wiring terminal and the second wiring terminal are disposed opposite to the conducting bar in a first direction, the driving assembly is disposed opposite to the conducting bar, or the first wiring terminal, or the second wiring terminal in a second direction different from the first direction.
