Abstract

The invention comprises a method of: providing an inductor core, placing a winding guide within an inch of the inductor core, positioning a first turn element with the winding guide, positioning a second turn element with the winding guide, and mechanically coupling the first turn element to the second turn element to form at least a part of a winding, the winding forming a wrapped shape about the inductor core. Optionally and preferably, turn elements are subsequently joined, mechanically coupled, and/or welded together to form sections of the winding.
