Abstract:
A winding assembly, such as a transformer or an inductor, includes a spring clip and a retaining clip for mechanically coupling the winding assembly to a printed circuit board (PCB) or a printed wiring board (PWB). The clips provide structural rigidity to the winding assembly, allowing the winding assembly to remain functional during high shock events. Further, the clips compress a thermal pad positioned beneath the winding assembly, providing sufficient heat transfer surface area for transferring heat away from the winding assembly.

The connecting portion connects the center column and the side column.
Abstract:
A power system having a transformer and integrated power conditioning device is disclosed. The transformer includes a fluid enclosure that holds transformer fluid therein that immerses a core and coil assembly. The power conditioning device is integrated with the transformer and connected thereto to receive an output power and is within an electrical enclosure. A power conditioning circuit is configured to perform power conversion and conditioning on the output power from the transformer. A first set of electrical conductors is coupled between the core and coil assembly and the power conditioning circuit to transfer the output power from the transformer to the power conditioning circuit and a second set of electrical conductors is coupled between the power conditioning circuit and electrical connections on a front plate of the fluid enclosure, the second set of electrical conductors being routed through the fluid enclosure of the transformer.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to non-planar inductive electrical elements in semiconductor package lead frames. A non-planar inductive element is formed from a lead frame in a semiconductor package. The semiconductor package also includes at least one semiconductor die coupled to the lead frame. The non-planar inductive element could be formed by deforming portions of a patterned planar lead frame blank to form the non-planar inductive element in a deformed lead frame blank. The deformed lead frame blank and the at least one semiconductor die could then be packaged into a semiconductor package. A setting tool could be used to deform the lead frame blank. A configurable lead frame blank could be configurable into any of a variety of inductive elements, through interconnection of lead frame segments using wire bonds, for example.
