Abstract

A post-mountable magnetic device comprising: (1) first and second conductive posts mountable to a substantially planar substrate, (2) a plurality of windings coupled to the first and second conductive posts, each of the plurality of windings having first and second conductive termination apertures at predetermined locations thereon, the first and second conductive termination apertures of the plurality of windings engaging and registering with the first and second conductive posts, respectively, the first and second conductive posts electrically coupling the plurality of windings, the first and second conductive posts therefore substantially within a footprint of the magnetic device and (3) a magnetic core mounted proximate the plurality of windings, the magnetic core adapted to impart a desired magnetic property to the plurality of windings, the plurality of windings and the magnetic core substantially free of a molding material to allow the magnetic device to assume a smaller overall device volume.
