Abstract

A transformer includes a magnetic core, a first coil unit and a second coil unit. The first coil unit is disposed within the magnetic core and includes a laminated board having layers laminated therein and conductive patterns. Respective ones of the conductive patterns are disposed on the laminated layers. The second coil unit includes a conductive wire spaced apart from the conductive patterns of the laminated board by an insulating distance. The conductive wire includes a triple-insulated wire surrounded by three sheets of insulating paper to maintain the insulating distance from the conductive patterns.

Claims

1. A transformer comprising:

a magnetic core;

a first coil part disposed in the magnetic core and including a multilayer substrate formed by stacking layers having conductor patterns formed thereon;

a second coil part disposed on at least one of upper and lower surfaces of the multilayer substrate and including a conductor wire and at least a three-ply insulating material provided on the conductor wire; and

a spacer disposed between an inner surface of the magnetic core and the first coil part and allowing the second coil part to contact the first coil part tightly,

wherein the conductor pattern includes at least one each of a coil pattern to which a voltage is applied, a shielding pattern, and a Vcc pattern for forming an induction current,

wherein the multilayer substrate includes a penetration hole into which a central leg of the magnetic core is inserted, and at least one of the coil pattern, the shielding pattern, and the Vcc pattern is disposed around the penetration hole,

wherein a maximum width of an edge of the shielding pattern is greater than a maximum width of an edge of the Vcc pattern,

wherein the second coil part has a thickness less than that of the multilayer substrate and comprises a lead groove which is formed on a seating surface where the conductor wire is seated and leads out the conductor wire in a horizontal direction, and

wherein the spacer is formed of an insulating material.

2. The transformer of claim 1, wherein a distance between the conductor wire and the conductor pattern closest to the conductor wire is 0.4 mm or less.

3. The transformer of claim 1, wherein the spacer contains rubber having buffering characteristics.

4. The transformer of claim 1, wherein the shielding pattern has an area larger than that of the Vcc pattern.

5. The transformer of claim 1, further comprising:

an insulating layer disposed between the conductor wire and the conductor pattern closest to the conductor wire.

6. The transformer of claim 5, wherein the Vcc pattern is disposed adjacently to the second coil part.

7. The transformer of claim 5, wherein the Vcc pattern is disposed on any one of upper and lower surfaces of the shielding pattern in a stacking direction.

8. The transformer of claim 5, wherein the Vcc pattern is disposed on any one of upper and lower surfaces of the conductor pattern in the stacking direction.

9. The transformer of claim 5, wherein the Vcc pattern is disposed between the shielding pattern and the coil pattern.
