US Patent 9263177 Pin inductors and associated systems and methods

A magnetic device includes a magnetic core and N windings wound at least partially around respective portions of the magnetic core. Each of the N windings has opposing first and second ends. Each first end forms a first connector, and each second end forms a second connector. Each first connector is adapted for coupling to a first substrate in a first plane, and each second connector is adapted for coupling to a second substrate in a second plane, where the second plane is different from the first plane. N is an integer greater than zero. An electrical assembly includes a substrate and a power supply module including a magnetic device. The magnetic device at least partially electrically couples the power supply module to the substrate.
