Abstract: A surface mountable inductive component includes a miniature chip form having a main horizontal portion and supports extending therefrom, metalized pads connected to the supports for electrically connecting the chip form to a printed circuit board, and a wire wound about at least a portion of the main horizontal portion of the chip form and having first and second ends connected to respective metalized pads. The inductive component has a length to width ratio within the range of about 2.1 to about 2.
