  • Publication number: 20060145804
    Abstract: The invention is comprised of a coil group arranging a plurality of terminal-integrated type coils (1), (4) formed by bending a metal sheet in a preset development form and having a predetermined positional relationship, and a magnetic material (7) burying therein the coil group. For example, axes of the plurality of coils (1), (4) constituting the coil group, are arranged in parallel wherein the center point of at least one coil selected from the plurality of coils (1), (4) and the center point of a coil other than the selected coil are in an staggered arrangement. Due to this, an array type choke coil can be realized which is thin overall and operable with a large current in a high frequency band.

  • Patent number: 7064643
    Abstract: A magnetic element for multi-phase is composed by burying a plurality of coils in a composite magnetic material such that a negative coupling of magnetic fluxes or a positive coupling of magnetic fluxes exists between at least two coils. This structure more miniaturizes inductors, or choke coils as the multi-phase magnetic element suitably used for application of a large current to many kinds of electronic equipment. Such multi-phase magnetic element has an excellent ripple current property.

  • Patent number: 6014071
    Abstract: A choke coil for preventing harmonic distortions having a plurality of laminated iron core sheets formed into a core. A first coil is wound around a first limb of a first core, and a second coil is wound around a first limb of a second core. A third coil is wound around the second limb of both the first core and the second core, and the second core is disposed within the magnetic circuit of the first magnetic core. The iron core sheets have embossments formed on a front and back side for fitting the iron core sheets together. The embossments have longitudinal sides formed orthogonally to the direction of magnetic fluxes in the core, and may be inwardly inclined to face each other.

  • Patent number: 5841335
    Abstract: A choke coil for preventing harmonic distortions, used with home-use and industrial electronic apparatuses, is designed to reduce the apparatus size, reduce leakage fluxes and realize superior high-frequency characteristics. In order to achieve this object, there is provided a choke coil comprising a first magnetic core and a second magnetic core making up a closed magnetic circuit or an open magnetic circuit, a first coil, a second coil and a third coil, wherein the first coil is wound on the first magnetic core, the second coil is wound on the second magnetic core, and further the third coil is wound in such a manner as to cover the first magnetic core and the second magnetic core, and an inductance value required for preventing harmonic distortions is secured by the magnetic circuit configuration. At the same time, the function of a common-mode choke coil is provided to increase a coupling coefficient and reduce the system size and leakage fluxes.
