  • Publication number: 20240074121
    Abstract: An electrified vehicle includes an inductor having an associated arcuate deflector to redirect fluid toward inductor coils to facilitate heat transfer. The inductor may be disposed within a transmission proximate to at least one gear that distributes fluid during rotation to proximate components to provide splash lubrication. The arcuate deflector may redirect splashed fluid from between the inductor and the transmission housing toward the inductor coils. The deflector may be secured to the inductor via terminal connectors that electrically couple the inductor coils to a bus bar connected to a variable voltage converter.

  • Publication number: 20230187112
    Abstract: A power inductor includes windings having a first coil defining an axially extending cavity and a core have at least first and second core segments extending axially through at least a portion of the cavity. The segments are radially spaced from each other to define a molding channel. Molding is disposed in the molding channel and configured to urge the first and second core segments radially apart such that outer surfaces of the core segments are in direct contact with inner surfaces of the coil.
