Patent ID: 8441331

Claim:
A magnetic structure comprising: an electrically insulating carrier comprising a base portion and a plurality of upstanding sidewalls forming a regularly shaped cavity; a plurality of substantially planar dielectric spacers configured for nesting disposition within said cavity; a plurality of substantially planar windings configured for disposition within said cavity, with each said planar winding interstitially disposed between an adjacent pair of said dielectric spacers; and a ferrite core operative to magnetically couple said windings, wherein said plurality of windings comprises a plurality of primary windings, with each primary winding forming a first outwardly extending alignment tab positioned to cooperatively register within a first vertical recess formed in a carrier sidewall, wherein said plurality of windings comprises a plurality of secondary windings, with each secondary winding forming a second outwardly extending alignment tab positioned to cooperatively register within a second vertical recess formed in a carrier sidewall, and wherein said first and second vertical recesses are longitudinally spaced-apart sufficiently to prevent electrical interconnection of said first and second alignment tabs and to maintain all of said windings in fixed alignment with said carrier.
