Abstract
A magnetic component includes a bobbin structure adapted for attachment to a circuit board. The magnetic component may include a magnetically permeable core and a conductive winding. The bobbin structure may include a gap for inserting the edge of a circuit board. Potential applications of the magnetic component include mechanically and electrically interconnecting two or more circuit boards in a substantially side-by-side configuration while providing increased heat dissipation from the magnetic component, improving power density of the electronic device, reducing electronic device profile, allowing magnetic isolation between high-voltage and low-voltage circuits and allowing single-sided and double-sided circuit boards to be used in a single circuit. Also, a circuit board assembly may have two or more circuit boards electrically and mechanically connected by at least one magnetic component.
