  • Tunable surface mount toroidal inductor
    Patent number: 6292081
    Abstract: A surface mount, tunable inductor (200) includes a core (205) that is substantially toroidal in shape. The core (205) has a first flattened surface (206) and a second flattened surface (207) opposite the first flattened surface (206), and a hole (208) is formed through the core (205). A wire (210) is wound about the core (205) and terminates in first and second leads (215). The inductor (200) also includes a substrate (220) on which first and second conductive pads (225) are formed. Each of the wire leads (215) is electrically coupled to one of the conductive pads (225), and an adhesive (240) secures the first flattened surface (207) of the core (205) to the substrate (220).
