  • Patent number: 10148172
    Abstract: A power supply module is disclosed. The power supply module includes: a coil including a coil body and connecting ends; electronic components including at least an integrated circuit chip; a magnetic core which encloses the coil body, wherein at least one side of the magnetic core has a cavity provided therein, and the at least one electronic component is positioned in the cavity; a connector, which abuts against the side of the magnetic core having the cavity therein, covers the surface of the side, and is electronically connected to the coil and the electronic components. The power supply module is able to reduce the damage to the integrated circuit chip, decrease electromagnetic interferences and achieve an excellent cooling effect.

  • Patent number: 9907184
    Abstract: A power supply module and its manufacturing method are disclosed. The manufacturing method for the power supply module includes: configuring a coil such that coil terminals are configured by way of electrical connection in the preset circuit connection configuration of the connector; preparing a mold cavity, and placing the connector housed with the coil and the electronic components into the mold cavity; making a magnetic mixture, and filling the mold cavity where the connector is placed with the magnetic mixture to form a magnetic body under pressure, wherein the magnetic body encapsulates at least the coil, the electronic components and a portion of the connector adapted to house the coil and the electronic components, and the terminal is exposed outside the magnetic body; demolding the magnetic body from the mold cavity; and increasing the temperature of the demolded magnetic body by heating.

  • Patent number: 9773607
    Abstract: A coil with variable inner diameter is disclosed. The coil includes a coil body consisting of a plurality of turns of winding, and a connecting terminal configured to be connected to an external device, wherein the winding is wound to form at least two different inner diameters. And an electronic module made from the coil with variable inner diameter is also disclosed. The electronic module includes: electronic components including at least an integrated circuit chip; a coil with variable inner diameter, including a coil body having at least two different inner diameters and a connecting terminal; a connector, configured to be electrically connected with the electronic component and the coil; and a magnetic conductor, configured to enclose in and around the coil body and the electronic component.
