  • Publication number: 20200013534
    Abstract: Improved balance winding of electronic components including common-mode chokes and methods for using and manufacturing the same. In one embodiment, the common-mode choke includes a core and a pair of windings. The first winding and the second winding are alternatingly wound around the core with each respective winding being flipped at least once over the traverse direction of the winding barrel of the core. In one variant, the number of flips is dependent upon the core geometry, number of windings, and/or the specification limits on electrical balance. In another variant, the windings are first twisted and/or braided prior to being wound onto the winding barrel of the core.

  • Patent number: 9312059
    Abstract: An improved low cost and highly consistent inductive apparatus. In one embodiment, the low cost and highly consistent inductive apparatus addresses concerns with so called conductive anodic filament (CAF) that occurs within these laminate structures. These conditions include high humidity, high bias voltage (i.e. a large voltage differential), high-moisture content, surface and resin ionic impurities, glass to resin bond weakness and exposure to high assembly temperatures that can occur, for example, during lead free solder bonding application. In a variant, mixed mode coupling techniques are utilized in order to extend the underlying operating bandwidth of the substrate inductive device. Methods of manufacturing and using the aforementioned substrate inductive devices are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 8882546
    Abstract: An advanced modular plug connector assembly incorporating an insert assembly disposed in the rear portion of the connector housing. In one embodiment, the connector has a plurality of ports in multi-row configuration, and the insert assembly includes a substrate adapted to receive one or more electronic components such as choke coils, transformers, or other signal conditioning elements or magnetics. The substrate also interfaces with the conductors of two modular ports of the connector, and is removable from the housing such that an insert assembly of a different electronics or terminal configuration can be substituted therefor. In this fashion, the connector can be configured to a plurality of different standards (e.g., Gigabit Ethernet and 10/100). In yet another embodiment, the connector assembly comprises a plurality of light sources (e.g., LEDs) received within the housing. Methods for manufacturing the aforementioned embodiments are also disclosed.
