  • Publication number: 20150137927
    Abstract: A transformer skeleton and a winding method using the same are provided. The transformer skeleton includes at least one limiting hook. The limiting hook and a pin of the transformer skeleton are located on a same side of the transformer skeleton. A wire, which is led out from a winding groove of the transformer skeleton, electrically contacts the pin and passes through the limiting hook. The limiting hook is used to prevent the wire from moving upward. The advantage of the transformer skeleton is that the transformer skeleton disposes at least one limiting hook which is used to prevent the wire from moving upward and only a single layer of the wire contacts the pin in order to reduce the height of a tin cone. The transformer skeleton can decrease the height of the tin cone by 70%˜80%, thereby efficiently decreasing the height and width of the transformer.
