Patent ID: 7248139

Claim:
A high-current electrical coil, comprising: a plurality of flat, electrically-conductive strips bent to define together a coil in which the electrically-conductive strips are disposed coaxially, extend longitudinally, and are spaced radially from each other, with respect to the longitudinal axis of the coil; each of said electrically-conductive strips being bent to define at least a part of a turn of the coil; a first one of said electrically-conductive strips having an outer end carrying a first connector terminal for the coil and projecting outwardly of the coil; a second one of said electrically-conductive strips having an outer end carrying a second connector terminal for the coil and projecting outwardly of the coil; each of said first and second electrically-conductive strips including inner ends in electrical continuity with each other, and intermediate portions electrically-insulated from each other such that the plurality of electrically-conductive strips together define a coil exceeding one turn between said first and second connector terminals.
