Claim 8:
9. A method for making an electro-magnetic device comprising the steps of:
providing a conductive material;
forming the conductive material into a multi-thickness sheet, the multi-thickness sheet comprising a first portion for forming a conductive element having a first thickness, a second portion for forming a first lead portion having a second thickness, and a third portion for forming a second lead portion having a third thickness, wherein the first thickness is greater than the second thickness, and wherein the first thickness is greater than the third thickness;
forming a multi-thickness template by:
forming the first portion of the multi-thickness sheet into the conductive element,
forming the second portion of the multi-thickness sheet into the first lead portion, and
forming the third portion of the multi-thickness sheet into the second lead portion; and

pressing a core material around the conductive element and at least a portion of the first lead portion and at least a portion of the second lead portion to form a body.
