Patent ID: 7142084

Claim:
A high current inductor, comprising: a conductor coil, said conductor coil including a toroid coil of a substantially circularly contoured cross-section, two extending parts of the toroid coil extending in the opposite directions of the toroid coil, and a pair of hollow copper sheathings, each placed on a respective one of said two extending parts in surrounding relationship with said substantially circularly contoured cross-section thereof, said each hollow copper sheathing and said respective extending part forming together a substantially flat extending portion of said high current inductor, said flat extending portion being formed by simultaneous pressing of said two extending parts and said pair of hollow copper sheathings placed respectively over said two extending parts; and a magnet envelope wrapping around a periphery of said conductor coil, said magnet envelope being formed from powdery moulding materials and fixed at the periphery of the toroid coil of the conductor coil through die-casting, said two extending portions of said conductor coil extending beyond said magnet envelope and being bent to extend along walls of said magnet envelope, thereby forming a Surface Mount Design (SMD) inductor.
