Abstract
A holder configured to hold one or more components of a wireless charging power transfer system is provided. The apparatus comprises a first surface having one or more grooves configured to receive at least a portion of a conductor of a coil that spans the holder and at least one other holder, the coil configured to inductively transfer power via a magnetic field. The apparatus comprises one or more mechanical connectors configured to fasten the holder to the at least one other holder. The apparatus further comprises a plurality of transverse grooves on the first surface that extend in a direction substantially perpendicular to a direction of extension of the one or more grooves, the plurality of transverse grooves configured to guide the conductor of the coil from the holder to the at least one other holder.
