Abstract
An inductor component includes a single conductive coil configured to establish surface mount connections with a circuit board. A magnetic core structure receives and encloses first and second legs of the single conductive coil, and first and second physical gaps are respectively formed in the magnetic core structure and are located to respectively intersect a flux path generated by current flow in only one of the elongated first or second legs. By virtue of the pair of physical gaps the inductor component operates as a swing-type inductor component with multiple steps of inductance roll off.
