Abstract
A low profile coil-wound bobbin includes a spool, a terminal, a lower flange, and a terminal base member. The spool is configured to have a coil-wire arrangement wound around an axis the spool. The terminal is to be coupled to the coil-wire arrangement and a first side of a circuit board such that the axis of the spool is substantially normal to the circuit board and the bobbin extends completely through the circuit board. The lower flange is coupled to the spool to at least partially contain the coil-wire arrangement. The terminal base member is coupled to the lower flange and the terminal. A vertical member of the terminal base member includes a chamfer region on a top edge of the vertical member to guide and reduce stress on a wire end of the coil-wire arrangement.
