Patent ID: 8188824

Claim:
A surface mount magnetic component assembly comprising: a conductive coil having a winding portion and opposed first and second distal ends extending from the winding portion; a magnetic core formed around and enclosing the winding portion, the magnetic core having a base wall and orthogonal side walls extending from the base wall, the first and second distal ends extending through the base wall of the magnetic core; and first and second terminal clips separately fabricated from the conductive coil, the first and second terminal clips connected to the respective first and second distal ends of the conductive coil, the first and second terminal clips respectively located on the base wall adjacent opposing ones of the side walls of the magnetic core, wherein at least one of the first and second terminal clips includes a central portion extending in a first plane, the central portion being flanked by offset ledges extending in a second plane spaced from but generally parallel to the first plane.
