Abstract
Magnetic laminations are formed in the openings of a first non-conductive structure, which is formed in the opening of a second non-conductive structure that has a maximum aspect ratio that is less than the maximum aspect ratio of the first non-conductive structure. The second non-conductive structure is more crack resistant than the first non-conductive structure, and thereby protects the first non-conductive structure and the magnetic laminations from environmental contaminants.
