Abstract
A multi-part reactive device preferably includes a substrate with a first conductive area and a second conductive area. A first conductive element with a first terminal is connected to the first conductive area. The first conductive element has a second terminal connected to the second conductive area. A current loop is formed extending from the first conductive area, through the first terminal, through the second terminal, to the second conductive area. A magnetically-effective core member is captivated by the first conductive element to the substrate between the first conductive area and the second conductive area and encircles the current loop. The first conductive area, the first conductive element, the magnetically-effective core member, and the second conductive area form a first magnetic circuit. Additional magnetic circuits can be formed by adding additional conductive patterns and additional conductive elements.
