Abstract: The inductor-type network transformer includes a circuit board, at least one transformer member mounted to the circuit board, at least one peripheral element mounted to the circuit board to a side of the transformer member, and a casing configured on the circuit board completely covering the at least one transformer member, and the at least one peripheral element.

Abstract: An inductance value increasing structure includes: a magnetic core and a coil. The magnetic core is of an I-shape. The magnetic core includes a central pole. The central pole has two ends that are respectively provided with a first flange and a second flange, and the first flange has a length and a width that are less than or equal to the second flange. The coil has a first end and a second end. The coil is wound around and disposed on the magnetic core. Compared to a known structure, the present invention includes, in addition to a central pole, a first flange. Under a condition of being supplied with one fixed current, the greater the size and shape of the magnetic core, the larger the inductance value of the inductor, and thus, the arrangement of the first flange can effectively increase the inductance value.
