Inductor and carrier suitable for attaching to a hybrid substrate or the like

摘要

An inductor and carrier suitable for mounting on a mounting substrate includes an etched sheet of a bonded copper layer and polyimide film to form a film carrier. The periphery of the film carrier is patterned with a plurality of windows and a plurality of conductors, each conductor having a bent-up tab and and end portion terminating at the periphery within the respective window. A microminiature inductor core having a plurality of insulated windings is soldered to the respective bent-up tab of each conductor and the end portion of each conductor is then welded to bonding pads on the mounting substrate.
