Abstract

An electrical coil having a protective cap, a round ferrite core, an electrical winding and connective elements, which in assembly is suitable for installation in enveloped layer circuits, is comprised of a round core which is positioned, in one piece, on a ferrite base plate, a protective cap is secured onto the ferrite base plate and a winding is positioned about the core and has wire ends which are brought into contact, within the interior of the protective cap, with the connective elements which have a portion thereof arranged on the base plate surface facing away from the core and outside the interior of the protective cap.

Claims

1. In an electrical coil having a protective cap, a round ferrite core, an electrical winding and connective elements useful for installation in an enclosed layered circuit, the improvement wherein:

the round core is positioned, in one piece, on a ferrite base plate and the protective cap is secured onto the base plate and about the core,

the winding wire ends are positioned in contact with portions of connective elements located within the interior of the protective cap, with another portion of the connective elements being located outside the interior of the protective cap and resting on a surface of the base plate which is facing away from the core, and

the connective elements are strip-shaped and enclose the ferrite base plate in a claw-like manner.

2. In an electrical coil as defined in claim 1 wherein said ferrite base plate includes vertical side surfaces having grooves therein and the strip-shaped connective elements are positioned in said grooves.

3. In an electrical coil as defined in claim 1 wherein said connective elements are secured to the ferrite base plate at least on a flat surface of the base plate which faces away from the round core.

4. In an electrical coil as defined in claim 1 wherein said protective cap is comprised of a ferrite.

5. A process for producing an electrical coil having a protective cap, a round ferrite core mounted on a ferrite base plate, an electrical winding and connective elements, comprising:

providing a perforated transport band having bendable and punchable strip-shaped connective elments and stepwise moving such band through successive steps so that the following operations occur;

bending the connective element ends perpendicularly to the plane of the transport band;

positioning the round core mounted on the ferrite base plate between the bent connective element ends;

fixing such core in position by bending the free ends of the connective elements toward each other and into contact with a surface of the base plate which supports the core;

winding the core with the electrical winding so that the winding wire ends are brought into contact with the connective element ends in contact with the surface of the base plate which supports the core;

bonding the protective cap onto the ferrite base so that the core, the winding and the contact area between the ends of the winding and the connective element ends are enclosed within the interior of such protective cap; and

separating the resultant electrical coil from the transport band by punching out portions of the connective elements securing such elements to the transport band.

6. A process as defined in claim 5 wherein the transport band comprises a metal-plastic lamina having strip-shaped connective elements thereon defined by etching such lamina;

and the round core is fixed in position by bonding the base plate onto the connective elements.
