Abstract

Abstract A common-mode choking coil comprises a closed magnetic path core which is formed, for example, by combining two U-shaped cores. Two coils wound in opposite respective directions are mounted on two legs of the closed magnetic path core. These coils are formed by single-layer winding. That is a conductor wire is wound in only one layer, for example, around a bobbin. Then, the bobbins whereon the conductor wire is wound are mounted on the two legs of the closed magnetic path core. For the conductor wire used for the coil, a material having a spring property may be used. Utilizing this spring property of the coil, the closed magnetic path core can be held together by the coil, whereby the two U-shaped cores can be combined. Also, the two coils are identified by colors according to the winding direction of the respective conductor wires.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim 157 words
A common-mode choking coil comprising: a closed magnetic path core formed by combining two partial cores, and two single-layer-wound coils wound around two respective legs of said closed magnetic path core, wherein said two coils are formed by winding respective conductor wires in opposite directions with respect to said closed magnetic path core; and wherein said single-layer-wound coil is constituted by a wire-wound part formed by winding a conductor wire having a spring property, and lead parts extending from both ends of said wire-wound part, and said coil being mounted on the respective leg of said closed magnetic path core with said wire-wound part being pulled lengthwise and thereby stretched, and said coil being fixed to said closed magnetic path core by said lead parts which engage said two partial cores and draw them together by said spring property of said conductor wire; whereby said two partial cores are combined to form said closed magnetic path core.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 157 words
A common-mode choking coil comprising: a closed magnetic path core formed by combining two partial cores, and two single-layer-wound coils wound around two respective legs of said closed magnetic path core, wherein said two coils are formed by winding respective conductor wires in opposite directions with respect to said closed magnetic path core; and wherein said single-layer-wound coil is constituted by a wire-wound part formed by winding a conductor wire having a spring property, and lead parts extending from both ends of said wire-wound part, and said coil being mounted on the respective leg of said closed magnetic path core with said wire-wound part being pulled lengthwise and thereby stretched, and said coil being fixed to said closed magnetic path core by said lead parts which engage said two partial cores and draw them together by said spring property of said conductor wire; whereby said two partial cores are combined to form said closed magnetic path core.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 166 words
A common-mode choking coil comprising: a closed magnetic path core formed by combining two partial cores, and two bobbins mounted on two respective legs of said closed magnetic path core, and two single-layer-wound coils wound respectively around said two bobbins; wherein said two coils are formed by winding respective conductor wires in opposite directions with respect to said closed magnetic path core; and wherein said single-layer-wound coil is constituted by a wire-wound part formed by winding a conductor wire having a spring property, and lead parts extending from both ends of said wire-wound part, and said coil being mounted on the respective leg of said closed magnetic path core with said wire-wound part being pulled lengthwise and thereby stretched, and said coil being fixed to said closed magnetic path core by said lead parts which engage said two partial cores and draw them together by said spring property of said conductor wire; whereby said two partial cores are combined to form said closed magnetic path core.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 166 words
A common-mode choking coil comprising: a closed magnetic path core formed by combining two partial cores, and two bobbins mounted on two respective legs of said closed magnetic path core, and two single-layer-wound coils wound respectively around said two bobbins; wherein said two coils are formed by winding respective conductor wires in opposite directions with respect to said closed magnetic path core; and wherein said single-layer-wound coil is constituted by a wire-wound part formed by winding a conductor wire having a spring property, and lead parts extending from both ends of said wire-wound part, and said coil being mounted on the respective leg of said closed magnetic path core with said wire-wound part being pulled lengthwise and thereby stretched, and said coil being fixed to said closed magnetic path core by said lead parts which engage said two partial cores and draw them together by said spring property of said conductor wire; whereby said two partial cores are combined to form said closed magnetic path core.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 27 words
A common-mode choking coil in accordance with claim 1, wherein different respective colors are applied to said single-layer-wound coils as a function of the winding direction thereof.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 27 words
A common-mode choking coil in accordance with claim 2, wherein different respective colors are applied to said single-layer-wound coils as a function of the winding direction thereof.
