  • Patent number: 11688541
    Abstract: An integrated magnetic component comprises a common mode inductance and a differential mode inductance. The common mode inductance is formed by a common mode core surrounding a winding window and at least two windings wound around the common mode core and through the winding window. The differential mode inductance is formed by the at least two windings and a differential mode core being spaced from the common mode core by a gap. The differential mode core comprises at least one surface being adjacent to each of the at least two windings. Further, a filter for attenuating electromagnetic interference comprises an integrated magnetic component according to the invention. Even further, the integrated magnetic component according to the invention is used for attenuating electromagnetic interference, preferably in a vehicle, a data center, or a telecommunication unit. A method for manufacturing an integrated magnetic component according to the invention comprises two steps.

  • Publication number: 20230109971
    Abstract: The disclosure concerns a magnetic component and a power converter including the same. The magnetic component includes at least one magnetic core, where at least one gap is formed between end surfaces, especially opposing end surfaces, of the magnetic core(s). The magnetic component further includes at least one electrical winding surrounding at least a part of the at least one magnetic core, and a shielding device for shielding fringing fields of the at least one gap. The shielding device includes: a holding unit attached to the at least one magnetic core and/or to the at least one electrical winding in a periphery of the at least one gap; and at least one shield member attached to the holding unit. The at least one shield member is configured to shield gap fringing fields in the periphery of the gap.

  • Publication number: 20200234868
    Abstract: According to the invention a packaged inductive component comprises an inductive element and an electrically insulating packaging enclosing the inductive element. The packaging comprises a first area consisting of a thermally conductive material and a second area consisting of a thermally insulating material. The first area has a first surface being an outside surface of the packaged inductive component. The outer surfaces of the packaged inductive component are free of any electrical potential. The packaged inductive component allows for an improved heat dissipation. In particular, heat generated by power losses in the inductive element dissipates through the first area of the packaging to an outside surface of the packaged inductive component. This leads to an affordable packaged inductive component. The inductive element can be for example an inductor or a transformer.
