Claim:
1. An inductor comprising an inductor core having a higher magnetic permeability than air, and an inductor winding comprising at least one conductor wound in one or more loops, where the inductor core at least partly extends along a first axis, and the inductor winding extends completely around the first axis of the inductor core in such a way that the inductor winding has a number of discrete positions or first sections where it extends in a direction being perpendicular to the first axis of the inductor core, and wherein the inductor winding between the discrete positions or sections has second sections where the inductor winding extends at least partly along the first axis, wherein the inductor core comprises a first and a second inductor core part, each having a first number of abutment surfaces being arranged substantially parallel to the first axis, and a second number of abutment surfaces being arranged transverse to the first axis, and where the first number of abutment surfaces on the first and the second inductor core part are complementarily shaped, so that the inductor core parts can be assembled by sliding the first number of abutment surfaces of the first inductor core part on the first number of abutment surfaces on the second inductor core part, and along the first axis, until the second number of abutment surfaces on the first inductor part abuts the abutment surfaces on the second inductor part.
