  • Patent number: 8004381
    Abstract: A laminated device comprising pluralities of magnetic ferrite layers, conductor patterns each formed on each magnetic ferrite layer and connected in a lamination direction to form a coil, and a non-magnetic ceramic layer formed on at least one magnetic ferrite layer such that it overlaps the conductor patterns in a lamination direction, the non-magnetic ceramic layer comprising as main components non-magnetic ceramics having higher sintering temperatures than that of the magnetic ferrite, and further one or more of Cu, Zn and Bi in the form of an oxide.

  • Patent number: 6000128
    Abstract: A process of producing a multi-layered printed-coil substrate as a planar magnetic component for use as a transformer or a choke in a switched mode power supply circuit, etc. in which several types of printed-coil substrates having individually different coil patterns are prepared, some of them are selected depending upon the desired characteristics of planar magnetic component, and the selected substrates are layered to obtain a multi-layered printed-coil substrate. A printed-coil component, wherein pin terminals erected on insulating bases are inserted through through-holes formed in the printed-coil substrate having patterned coils in a single or several layers and pin terminals are soldered to the through-holes.
