Abstract:
1. A controlled seam magnetic core lamination utilizable in an inductor structure, the controlled seam magnetic core lamination comprising: a magnetic base, having top and bottom surfaces and first and second ends; first and second spaced-apart magnetic sidewalls extending substantially orthogonally and parallel from the base, each magnetic sidewall having a top surface and a bottom surface, wherein the bottom surface of the first magnetic sidewall touches the top surface of the first end of the magnetic base and the bottom surface of the second magnetic sidewall touches the top surface of the second end of the magnetic base, forming a continuous path of magnetic material from the top surface of the first magnetic sidewall, through the magnetic base, to the top surface of the second magnetic sidewall; and a non-conductive and non-magnetic seam material formed to touch the top surface of the magnetic base and substantially filling the space between the first and second spaced-apart magnetic sidewalls.
