Abstract
A transformer (1) for a printed circuit board (2) is provided with physically separate flat metal windings (6) which are chosen to take the highest or the two highest currents handled by the transformer (1). The lower currents which will often include the power input to the primary are printed on the surfaces (3,4) of the printed circuit board (2). The flat metal windings (5) may be pre-assembled with the core halves (6,7).
