High current, low profile inductor and method for making same

摘要

A method for making a high current, low profile inductor includes a wire coil having an inter coil end and an outer coil end. A magnetic material completely surrounds the wire coil to form an inductor body. First and second leads connected to the inner coil end and the outer coil end respectively extend through the magnetic material to the exterior of the inductor body. The method of operation involves pressure molding the magnetic material around the wire coil.
