Abstract: A coil former includes an opening and two winding chambers. Flanges are formed on opposing ends of the winding body and extend in planes transverse to a longitudinal axis of the opening. Connecting ledges are formed on at least one of the flanges and receive soldering terminals arranged side-by-side in a row. The soldering terminals receive winding wires wound about the winding body. The soldering terminals are cylindrical pins which are embedded in bases. The pins extend vertically from the bases and in a plane perpendicular to a longitudinal axis. The bases are spaced apart from one another, with each base tapering on a side facing an associated pin. Reinforcing ribs are formed on a side of the connecting ledge facing the opening.
