Claim 10:
11. An electro-magnetic component comprising:
a coil formed from a flat conductive material, the conductive material having a width greater than a thickness of the conductive material;
a first lead extending from a first end of the coil;
a second lead extending from a second end of the coil;
a body pressed around the coil and portions of the first lead and the second lead leaving an exposed portion of the first lead and an exposed portion of the second lead, the body comprising a front surface and an opposite back surface, a top surface and an opposite bottom surface, and a first side surface an opposite second side surface, wherein a central vertical axis of the body runs from the top surface to the bottom surface of the body, and wherein a depth of the body extends between the front surface and the back surface and a height of the body extends between the top surface and the bottom surface, the height being greater than the depth;
the coil positioned within the body such that the width of the conductive material extends along the depth of body, wherein the coil has a first flat surface facing the front surface of the body and a second flat surface facing the back surface of the body, the coil following an at least partially curving path extending between the first end of the coil and the second end of the coil such that no part of the coil is wound over or under another part of the coil along the depth of the body, wherein a first portion of the coil curves inwardly from the first end of the coil toward the central vertical axis, and wherein a second portion of the coil curves inwardly from the second end of the coil toward the central vertical axis of the body;
at least a portion of the exposed portion of the first lead positioned so as to extend along the bottom surface of the body; and
at least a portion of the exposed portion of the second lead positioned so as to extend along the bottom surface of the body.
