1. A planar electronic device comprising:

  • a cover layer of substrate material;

    a base layer of substrate material coupled to and extending alongside the cover layer, the base layer including a material hole that extends completely through the base layer, the cover layer extending over at least a portion of the material hole;

    a magnetic core positioned in the material hole;

    a dielectric member within the material hole, wherein a core-holding channel exists between the dielectric member and the base layer, the core-holding channel extending circumferentially around the dielectric member and having the magnetic core therein, wherein the core-holding channel is partially defined by an alignment feature that engages only a portion of an exterior of the magnetic core, the alignment feature being shaped from a portion of the base layer; and

    a plurality of conductive loops that extend around the magnetic core and the alignment feature.
