Abstract:
A low profile magnetic component 700, 720 includes at least one coil layer 710 defining a generally planar coil winding having a center area and a number of turns extending about the center area. A body encloses the coil layer, and is fabricated from one of a dielectric material and a magnetic material. A magnetic core material 650, 660, 670 occupies at least the center area of the coil layer.
Abstract:
A surface mount magnetic component assembly (100) including a magnetic core (110) having a side with a stepped external surface, a coil within the magnetic core, and terminal clips (106) for making electrical connections to the ends (150) of the coil. The ends of the coil extend through the stepped external surface, the terminal clips attach to the stepped external surface, and the external surface is mounted to a circuit board (180) to complete electrical connection with improved reliability. Smaller component sizes with improved manuf acturability and consistency result.

A magnetic component (100) and a method of manufacturing the same. The method comprises the steps of providing at least one shaped-core (110, 150) fabricated from an amorphous powder material, coupling at least a portion of at least one winding (130) to the at least one shaped-core (110), and pressing the at least one shaped-core (110, 150) with at least a portion of the at least one winding (130). The magnetic component (100) comprises at least one shaped-core (110, 150) fabricated from an amorphous powder material and at least a portion of at least one winding (130) coupled to the at least one shaped-core (110), wherein the at least one shaped-core (110, 150) is pressed to at least a portion of the at least one winding (130). The winding (130) may¬ be preformed, semi-preformed, or non-preformed and may include, but is not limited to, a clip or a coil. The amorphous powder material may be an iron-based or cobalt-based amorphous powder material or a nanoamorphous powder material.

Magnetic component assemblies for circuit boards include magnetic cores formed with a gap and preformed conductive windings sliding assembled to the cores via the gaps. The gaps in the cores are filled with a magnetic material to enhance the magnetic performance. The magnetic component assemblies may define power inductors.
