Abstract
A trimmable inductor, comprises a supporting substrate (12) having spaced apart lead terminals, a coil (20) defined by an electrically conductive member mounted on the substrate in a continuous path of multiple turns forming a winding about an axis and extending between the lead terminals, and an electric conductive shorting member (30) extending and electrically connected between one or more turns (20) and (22) a terminal of the coil to enable selective inclusion and elimination of at least part of one of the turns of the coil.
