Abstract
A small toroidal inductor is mounted by inserting a high valued resistor or a ceramic coil form into the central hole of the toroid. The fine leads of the inductor are then soldered to the much stiffer leads of the part that has been inserted. These stiffer leads may be bent in any desired way, and will hold their shape. This makes insertion easier and is strong enough to withstand the necessary amounts of shock and vibration. The toroid may be glued or otherwise affixed with an adhesive to the resistor or coil form.
