Patent attributes
A magnetic assembly including a printed circuit board and a core made from magnetically permeable material positioned on the printed circuit board. Plated through holes are formed in the printed circuit board, a first plated through hole on a first side of the core, a second plated through on a second side of the core and third plated though hole on the first side of the core. A winding lead has a first leg soldered in the first plated through hole and a second leg soldered in the second plated through hole, the winding lead being a discrete electrical conductor separate from the printed circuit board. A conductive trace is formed in the printed circuit board, the conductive trace electrically connected the second plated through hole and the third plated through hole.
