Abstract
This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus for charging pads for use with wireless power systems. In one aspect a vehicle charging pad having a reduced thickness is provided. A charging pad may include multiple wire coils and a ferrite block backing. By forming a longitudinally extending slot in the ferrite block, a portion of the wires extending from the coils can be routed through the slot in the ferrite block to decrease the overall thickness of the charging pad.
