Abstract
A transformer bobbin has margining ledges disposed on either side of a primary winding surface such that a primary wire is wound between margining surfaces of the margining ledges. L-shaped grooves extend into the margining ledges and then parallel to the primary winding surface to accommodate the primary wire ends that connect to terminals of the bobbin. Margining of the secondary is accomplished with a pair of margining bibs which attach to the bobbin after the primary is wound and after a layer of insulation is placed over the primary. The secondary is wound over the insulation layer between margining surfaces of the bibs. With the margining ledges and bibs, required creepage distances can be maintained without the use of sleeving, margining tape, interlayer tape or holding tape.
