Abstract
An integral low profile inductive device includes a magnetic body having opposing face surfaces, opposing side surfaces extending between the face surfaces, and opposing end surfaces extending between the side surfaces. A recessed surface is defined in each of the side surfaces of the body. A continuous winding of conductive material extends across the recessed surfaces and face surfaces of the body. Each of the recessed surfaces can be crenelated with alternating secondary recesses and projections such that the winding passes over the secondary recesses as it extends across the side surfaces of the body or over the projections between the secondary recesses. The device can include one or more continuous windings each of at least one turn.
