Abstract:
1. A low profile magnetic component comprising: a first core fabricated from a magnetic permeable material and defining a receptacle; a second core fabricated from a magnetic permeable material, the second core fabricated independently from the first core and having a different shape than the first core; and a single coil formed independently from the first and second cores, the single coil defined by a first lead, a second lead and plurality of turns forming a single winding between the first lead and the second lead; wherein the first core defines a receptacle that receives substantially all of the turns of the single coil, and at least one of the first and second cores comprises a projection fitted into the single coil, wherein a non-magnetic gap extends between the projection and a portion of the first core; wherein the second core is bonded to the first core in a stationary position relative to the first core; and wherein the first core comprises surface mount terminations for the first and second leads of the single coil; and wherein the single coil comprises an inner periphery and an outer periphery, wherein each of the first and second leads connect to the single coil at the outer periphery.
