Abstract: A magnetic device (10), suitable for attachment to a substrate, includes at least one sheet winding (24) having a pair of spaced-apart terminations (26), each receiving an upwardly rising portion (28) of a lead (12). The sheet winding terminations and upwardly-rising lead portions, together with at least a portion of the sheet windings, are then encapsulated with masses of insulative material (18, 19 and 34). A ferromagnetic core (20,22) surrounds at least a portion of the sheet windings to impart a desired magnetic property to the device.

Abstract: A spiral, self-terminating coil (12) is formed of an elongated metallic member (10) having at least a first and second tabs (22,23) extending out from a separate one of the ends (18,20) of the member such that each tab is perpendicular to the axis of the member. At least one notch (26) is provided in the member (10) intermediate the tabs and parallel thereto. Each notch (26) is located so that when the member is wound in the spiral, the notches are aligned with the tab inside of the spiral. The inside tab can thus be oriented perpendicular to the spiral turns so as to extend through the notches beyond the spiral.

Abstract: A transformer includes a preformed winding with each turn having a channel cross section. The individual units are joined to form the desired multiturn winding. Another winding is inserted within the channel cross section of the multiturn winding. In one embodiment, the channels of the two turns are joined to form a closed passageway. In another embodiment, they are nested one within each other to form a concurrent passageway.
