The audible noise suppressor for planar magnetic devices functions to eliminate the audible noise generated by the normal operation of a planar magnetic device. This is accomplished by the use of a spacer device which functions to fill the gap between the ferrite core and the printed wiring board. The planar magnetic device comprises an E-shaped ferrite core comprising first second and middle legs, the three legs being inserted through mating holes formed in the printed wiring board. The windings of the planar magnetic device are deposited on the surface of the printed wiring board, in a predetermined pattern about the middle leg of the E-shaped ferrite core that protrudes through the corresponding hole in the printed wiring board. An I-shaped ferrite core is placed in position to span the first, second and middle legs of the E-shaped ferrite core. The E-shaped and I-shaped ferrite cores are held in place by the use of a clip that snap fits over the two ferrite cores. To eliminate the vibrations caused by the operation of the planar magnetic device, a spacer is inserted between the I-shaped ferrite core and the printed wiring board during the assembly process until it locks in place. The spacer fills the opening between the I-shaped ferrite core and the printed wiring board and is locked into place by protrusions that are located on each finger of the spacer and along the main body of the spacer. The spacer exerts a force against both the I-shaped ferrite core and the printed wiring board to provide a vibration transmission path that both partially damps the generated vibration and transmits the vibration to the printed wiring board. The entire assembly process of the planar magnetic device is independent of the use of adhesive and is a mechanically simple and efficient process. |
