Electro-magnetic device

Inductor package

Electro-magnetic devices are provided, having conductive elements and leads of multiple thicknesses. Templates are provided for making electro-magnetic devices, formed by an extrusion process, a skiving process, a swaging process, 3D printing, or a machining process. The multi-thickness electro-magnetic devices may comprise a conductive element having an increased thickness area, and one or more leads having at least one decreased thickness area, having a thickness less than the increased thickness area. An electro-magnetic device may be provided comprising a conductive element having an increased thickness encased in a body formed from a core material, and leads or lead portions connected to the conductive element having a decreased thickness.

Method for making a multi-thickness electro-magnetic device

An inductor and method for making the same are provided. The inductor includes a coil formed from a conductor and having a serpentine shape. The coil may have an 'S'-shape. The coil has two leads extending from opposite ends of the coil. An inductor body surrounds the coil and portions of the leads. The leads may be wrapped around the body to create contact points on the exterior of the inductor.

Inductor having high current coil with low direct current resistance

A shielded inductor and a method of making a shielded inductor are provided. The shielded inductor includes a core body surrounding a conductive coil, leads in electrical communication with the coil, and a shield covering at least parts of the outer surface of the core body. An insulating material may be provided between parts of the core body and parts of the shield. A method of making a shielded inductor is also provided.
