The flat face part is formed so that the two molding dies are separated without pressing the outer peripheral face of the cylindrical drum part, and a joining part on the drum part which is formed by the two molding dies is located on the flat face part. The coil member may be only a coil bobbin, a coil bobbin with a terminal part, or a coil bobbin which is integrated with a stator core.

  • Patent number: 7429908
    Abstract: A coil form for forming an inductive element (10) includes a coil body (2) and at least one, for example three separating plates (3). The coil body (2) has an opening (4.1) and includes two portions, a coil portion (6) and a flange portion (7). To put the inductive element (10) together, the separating plates (3) are pushed over the coil portion (6) of the coil body (2). For positioning of the separating plates (3), recesses (8) are provided on the surface of the coil portion (6). The separating plates (3) divide the surface of the coil portion (2) into a plurality of coil areas where the coil or the coils of the inductive component (10) can be provided, for example by winding an isolated wire around the coil portion (6) in a coil area. Afterwards, the core of the inductive component is installed by fitting the two E-shaped core parts (11.1, 11.2) together such that the middle leg (13) of each core part (11.1, 11.2) is inserted into the opening (4.1) of the core body (2).

  • Publication number: 20080169894
    Abstract: An electronic component in accordance with the invention includes a body, such as a base, having a high magnetic permeability material applied to an external surface thereof and a wire winding wound about at least a portion of the high magnetic permeability material. In a preferred form, the body is made of a non-conducting material, such as ceramic or plastic, and the high magnetic permeability material is made of a magnetic material such as ferrite or a metallic glass alloy (i.e., an amorphous metal). The component further includes a spacer for separating the wire winding from the high magnetic permeability material in order to prevent the amorphous metal from damaging the wire winding. The resulting electronic component is capable of sensing magnetic fields and may be used in a variety of circuits such as compasses and magnetometers.

  • Patent number: 7397337
    Abstract: An improved winding base structure of a transformer is assembled by combining a primary-side winding base and a secondary-side winding base. The selection of the material of the primary-side winding base and the secondary-side winding base is dependant on the compression-resistant capability because the primary-side input and the secondary-side output of the transformer bear different voltages. The outside of the assembled winding base is disposed with grooves in which the wires are wound, and the center of the winding base is disposed with a through hole for an iron core to be put therein to form a transformer. The sectional winding base of the subject application is characterized in that the primary-side winding base is made of lower compression-resistant material and the secondary-side winding base is made of higher compression-resistant material. Therefore the production cost of the winding base is reduced.

  • Patent number: 7382221
    Abstract: The differences in characteristics among parts or the fluctuations of the inductance value of a coil due to temperature variation is lessened by reducing the stray capacitance components induced among the layers of wound conductor, and size reduction and cost reduction are achieved. A winding portion (30) between two flange portions (22a, 22b) is divided into a plurality of sections (30a, 30b, 30c, 30d). One layer of conductor is wound from one end to the other end in each section, and then layers of conductor are wound in the alternately reversed directions to form the multilayer winding portion (30) by solenoid winding. The conductor is preferably wound in such a way that the boundary surface between adjacent sections inclines to a flange portion, which is the winding start, and the boundary surface of an upper layer is closer to the flange portion than that of a lower layer.
