1. A surface mountable inductor, comprising:

  • an inner substrate layer having first and second metalization patterns disposed upon first and second opposed surfaces, said first and second metalization patterns interconnected by vias to form an inductor having first and second ends;

    first and second outer substrate layers disposed on the first and second opposed surfaces;

    said inner substrate layer and first and second outer substrate layers forming a structure having first, second, third, and fourth side surfaces and first and second ends;

    a metalized trace coupled to a center point of the first metalization pattern and extending about said first, second, third, and fourth side surfaces, said metalized trace providing a center tap element for the inductor; and
