Abstract: A low profile surface mount electromagnetic component for multi-phase electrical power circuitry implemented on a circuit board includes a magnetic core structure and at least one dual-winding arrangement including windings of different thickness but each including an elongated planar main winding section extending linearly across the magnetic core structure. One of the elongated planar main winding sections overlies the other, and a separator element separates the elongated planar main winding sections while the windings remain magnetically coupled to one another.

Abstract: An electromagnetic component includes a magnetic core and a dual-winding arrangement inside the magnetic core structure. The dual-winding arrangement includes a first winding fabricated from an elongated conductor having a first thickness and defining a first inverted U-shaped main winding portion, a second winding fabricated from a conductor having a second thickness and being formed into a second inverted U-shaped main winding portion, and a separator extending between the first winding and the second winding.

Abstract: An electromagnetic component includes a magnetic core and a dual-winding arrangement inside the magnetic core structure. The dual-winding arrangement includes a first winding fabricated from an elongated conductor having a first thickness and defining a first inverted U-shaped main winding portion including out of plane axial bends, and a second winding fabricated from a conductor having a second thickness and being formed into a second inverted U-shaped main winding portion with perpendicular sections extending co-planar to one another without any out of plane axial bends.

Abstract: An apparatus and an associated method relates to a directionally polarized deceleration module (PDM) include a shuttle (125) fixedly coupled to a spring-biased spool (120) rotatable coupled to a module housing (115), a dynamic braking member (DBM) (130) and the shuttle (125) configured to travel inside a channel anchored to the module housing (115). A tether may be anchored on a proximal end to the spool (120). As the tether is retracted, the DBM (130) may be pushed by an angled distal-end of the shuttle (125). The DBM (130) may be forced between the angled distal-end of the shuttle (125) and an inner channel wall, providing motional resistance to the tether. As the tether is extracted, the DBM (130) may be pushed substantially normal to a proximal-end of the shuttle (125), providing minimal motional resistance to the tether. Various PDMs may decelerate safety lanyards in one direction to substantially avoid tangling and/or damage.
