  • Magnetic device and method of manufacture therefor
    Patent number: 6404316
    Abstract: A magnetic device and a method of manufacture therefor. In one embodiment, the magnetic device includes: (1) a bobbin having a winding guide and molded-in margins proximate opposing inside flanges of the bobbin, each of the opposing inside flanges having at least one notch formed in an inside face of each of said opposing inside flanges; (2) an inner winding wound about the winding guide and between the molded-in margins; (3) an outer winding wound about the inner winding and the winding guide and between the flanges; and (4) an insulating plate, provided in the at least one notch and interposed between the inner and outer windings, a thickness of the insulating plate providing a predetermined creepage distance between at least one lead of the inner winding and the outer winding.

  • Terminal bobbin for a magnetic device and method of manufacture therefor
    Patent number: 6326874
    Abstract: A terminal bobbin, a magnetic device employing the terminal bobbin and a method of manufacturing therefor. The terminal bobbin includes: (1) a plurality of leads terminating in winding terminal portions; and (2) a bobbin formed about the plurality of leads, composed of a dielectric material and having a winding guide, the winding terminal portions spatially separated and the bobbin essentially free of guide channels thereby to allow windings terminating at the winding terminal portions to be spatially separated to enhance a breakdown characteristic between the windings, ends of the leads distal from the winding terminal portions extending from the bobbin to allow the terminal bobbin to be mounted to a substrate.
