  • Patent number: 12094633
    Abstract: An electronic component includes a wire winding wound around a central axis. The wire winding having first and second ends, and first and second terminals are connected to or formed by the first and second ends. The terminals provide electrical contacts for connecting the component into a circuit. The component has a wet press molded body made of a mixture of magnetic and non-magnetic material that is heated and pressed about the wire winding. The wet press molded body leaves at least a portion of the terminals exposed for mounting the component to the circuit.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9318251
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing an electronic component including providing a wire having first and second ends and a pre-formed core, winding the wire about at least a portion of the pre-formed core and connecting the first and second wire ends to at least one terminal for mounting the component to a circuit, and using a wet press process to form a mixture of magnetic and/or non-magnetic material over at least a portion of the wire and pre-formed core, and harden the mixture without exposing the wire and pre-formed core to the damaging forces of a dry press process to form an electronic component with a generally planar top surface with which the component can be picked and placed on a circuit using conventional pick-and-place equipment.
