Printed circuit board assembly methods
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- aligning a first portion of a magnetic core with respect to a first side of a printed circuit board (PCB) using a first alignment device;
applying a first bonding material to a surface of at least one of the first portion of the magnetic core and a second portion of the magnetic core;
coupling a second alignment device that retains the second portion of the magnetic core to the first alignment device, wherein, when the first alignment device and the second alignment device are coupled, the first portion and the second portion of the magnetic core are retained in a specified assembly position, the specified assembly position including a gap between the first portion and the second portion of the magnetic core;
adjusting the gap between the first portion and the second portion of the magnetic core by adjustment of the first alignment device or the second alignment device; and
curing the first bonding material.

Abstract
A method includes aligning a first portion of a magnetic core with respect to a first side of a PCB using a first alignment device. The method includes applying a first bonding material to a surface of at least one of the first portion of the magnetic core and a second portion of the magnetic core. The method further includes coupling a second alignment device that retains the second portion of the magnetic core to the first alignment device. When the first alignment device and the second alignment device are coupled, the first portion and the second portion of the magnetic core are retained in a specified assembly position. The specified assembly position includes a specified gap between the first portion and the second portion of the magnetic core. The method also includes curing the first bonding material.
