Abstract
A common mode choke includes a plurality of joined together ferrite layers defining a generally rectangular body and comprising a bottom ferrite layer, a top ferrite layer, and at least one intermediate ferrite layer. The at least one intermediate ferrite layer preferably has an opening therein defining a cavity in the generally rectangular body extending from adjacent a first end thereof to adjacent a second end thereof. The choke also preferably includes at least one first pair of interior conductors extending on the at least one intermediate ferrite layer on opposite sides of the cavity. The choke may also include first and second pairs of end conductors on the first and second ends of the body that are connected to the interior conductors. The interior conductors may also have respective side edge portions exposed to the cavity in the body. In one embodiment, the opening in the at least one intermediate ferrite layer extends completely from the first end to the second end of the generally rectangular body. Air or another non-magnetic dielectric material may fill the cavity.
