1. A magnetic device, comprising:
- a first L-core segment including a first leg and a second leg extending therefrom;
a discrete, opposing second L-core segment including a first leg and a second leg extending therefrom, said first leg of said first L-core segment being mated with said second leg of said second L-core segment and said second leg of said first L-core segment being mated with said first leg of said second L-core segment;
a primary winding formed from wire and wound around at least one of said first leg and said second leg of said first L-core segment or said second L-core segment; and
a center-tapped secondary winding formed with a single layer first secondary winding and a single layer second secondary winding discrete from said first secondary winding, said first and second secondary windings being stamped and rectangularly formed sheets of metal positioned over said primary winding.
