Inductor Structure
First Claim
1. An inductor structure comprising, in combination:
- an outer housing including a compartment defined therein, with the outer housing including two sidewalls spaced in a length direction;
an inner magnetic core received in the compartment of the outer housing, with the inner magnetic core including first and second ends spaced in the length direction, with the first and second ends of the inner magnetic core respectively facing the two sidewalls of the outer housing, with a gap defined between each of the first and second ends of the inner magnetic core and one of the sidewalls of the outer housing in the length direction, with the inner magnetic core further including two sides spaced in a width direction perpendicular to the length direction, with the inner magnetic core further including a first recessed portion defined in one of the two sides of the inner magnetic core and extending in a vertical direction perpendicular to the length and width directions; and
a coil wound around the inner magnetic core and received in the compartment of the outer housing, and with the coil including first and second wire ends extending out of the outer housing.

Abstract
An inductor structure includes a hollow outer housing, an inner magnetic core, and a coil wound around the inner magnetic core. The outer housing includes two spaced sidewalls. The inner magnetic core and the coil are received in the outer housing, and a gap is defined between each of two ends of the inner magnetic core and one of the sidewalls of the outer housing in a length direction. The inner magnetic core is provided with opposite first and second recessed portions respectively defined in two sides of the inner magnetic core and extending in a vertical direction perpendicular to the length direction, so that the inductor structure can be conveniently adjusted to the desired saturation characteristic.
