摘要:
An apparatus for effecting inductive coupling among a plurality of electrical elements includes: (a) an electrically non-conductive core member oriented about an axis; (b) at least one first electrical element of the plurality of electrical elements substantially nestingly surrounding the core member oriented about the axis; each respective first electrical element being in spaced relation vis-à-vis other first electrical elements in an installed orientation; and (c) at least one second electrical element of the plurality of electrical elements disposed in surrounding relation with respect to the core member about the axis sufficiently proximal with at least one selected said first electrical element in the installed orientation to establish the inductive coupling.
摘要:
A low-profile, surface mount magnetic component is described along with magnetic devices and power supplies using the magnetic components. The magnetic component is formed from a magnetic core which is surrounded by a plurality of conductive elements. The conductive elements fit into channels in the sides of the magnetic core, the channels having angled sides that increase in width from the top to the bottom. The conductive elements have their ends bent inwards against the bottom of the magnetic core to form surface mountable contact surfaces. A recess in the top of the magnetic core allows the conductive elements to be loaded before the ends are bent inward so that when the conductive elements are unloaded they fit tightly against the magnetic core and the conductive surfaces are coplanar.

An apparatus for establishing at least one turn for a magnetic circuit includes: (a) at least one first magnetic element oriented substantially about an axis generally between a first axial position and a second axial position; and (b) at least one second magnetic element coupled with at least one selected first magnetic element of the at least one first magnetic element generally at the second axial position. The at least one second magnetic element establishes at least one return magnetic path from the second axial position generally toward the first axial position. The at least one return magnetic path is generally about the axis.

An electromagnetic apparatus includes: (a) A magnetic material arranged in a core structure establishing a first flux path set and a second flux path set; the first flux path set includes a first middle flux path oriented about a first axis and two first side flux paths parallel with the first axis; the second flux path set includes a second middle flux path oriented about a second axis and two second side flux paths parallel with the second axis; the second axis is perpendicular with the first axis. The first and second flux path sets cooperate to establish open spaces. Each open space is bounded by portions of two flux paths from each of the first and second flux path sets. (b) A plurality of windings for conducting electrical current about the magnetic core structure. The windings are oriented around one axis on both sides of the other axis.
