Patent ID: 7140091

Claim:
A process of manufacturing an inductive component intended to be installed on a printed circuit and including at least one winding and a magnetic core, the process comprising: winding a wire having ends to form a winding in the form of a flat coil, the winding step being performed without using a former; connecting the ends of the winding to inner ends of connecting terminals; overmoulding a body from a block of an insulating material onto the coil and onto the inner ends of the connecting terminals so that a lower face of the body is at least generally orthogonal to an axis of the coil, the body including a central opening formed therethrough which passes along the axis of the coil; and placing a core made of ferrite on the body such that the core surrounds the body in a center plane containing the axis of the coil and has a center core element passing through the opening of the body.
