Abstract
The magnetic core and electrical coils of a multiple phase inductor are held together by a non-magnetically permeable retainer. The retainer has a base with a cavity that receives the magnetic core and has U-shaped arms that form channels which guide and align the components during assembly. A retainer cap snaps onto the base in a manner that retains the core elements and electrical coils. An electrical terminal block also snaps onto the cap for easy assembly.
