A wound and laminated iron core is formed by winding a soft magnetic thin strip into a circular ring shape or elliptical ring shape. A coil is then wound around almost an entire outer periphery of the ring of wound and laminated iron core. A cross sectional shape of the wound and laminated iron core vertical to a peripheral direction of the ring is any one of: (i) a circular shape, (ii) an elliptical shape, (iii) a substantially regular polygon of at least 6 sides, (iv) a shape encircled by a pair of point-symmetrically positioned circular arcs or elliptical arcs with a nearly straight line connecting respective edges of the pair of circular arcs or elliptical arcs on both sides of the pair of circular arcs or elliptical arcs, and (v) a shape of a substantially regular polygon of at least 4 sides whose apexes comprise a circular arc or an elliptical arc. As a result, a reactor is provided which gives less noise and loss than a conventional reactor used in a high frequency wave band, and which is small in size, light in weight, and easy to manufacture. <IMAGE> |
