Abstract: A low profile reactor or inductor with a spiral type of winding which conducts a high level of current for its allotted size. The present invention provides a unique two piece bobbin design in order to produce a reactor of this type in a small space with small dimensional tolerances. The two piece bobbin is designed to provide a connection to the interior terminal end of the reactor coil, which is normally difficult to accomplish because of the limited small size and area. A first bobbin piece defines a first bobbin flange, and the second bobbin piece defines a center post, providing a cylindrical winding surface, and a second bobbin flange. The center post is provided with a first recessed groove in the winding area, and the second bobbin flange is provided with a second recessed groove. A start terminal is positioned in the first and second recessed grooves below the surfaces thereof.
