Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A reactor 1 α includes one coil 2 , a magnetic core 3 to which the coil 2 is arranged, and a case 4 containing an assembly 10 of the coil 2 and the magnetic core 3 . The magnetic core 3 includes an inner core portion 31 inserted into the coil 2 , and a coupling core portion 32 disposed around the coil 2 . The coupling core portion 32 is made of a mixture of magnetic powder and resin. The coil 2 is covered with the coupling core portion 32 and is enclosed within the case 4 in a sealed state. The reactor 1 α includes, in an outermost surface region exposed at an opening of the case 4 , a magnetic shield layer 5 made of non-magnetic powder, having smaller specific gravity than the magnetic powder and having electrical conductivity, and the resin. A small reactor capable of reducing magnetic flux leaked to the outside is thereby provided. A method of producing a small reactor capable of reducing magnetic flux leaked to the outside is also provided which produces the reactor 1 α by filling the case 4 with a mixture of magnetic powder, non-magnetic powder, and resin, producing a state where the non-magnetic powder has floated to the opening side of the case 4 and the magnetic powder has precipitated on the bottom side of the case 4 , and hardening the resin.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A reactor comprising one coil formed by winding a wire, a magnetic core to which the coil is arranged, and a case having an opening and containing an assembly of the coil and the magnetic core, wherein the coil is enclosed within the case in a sealed state while at least a part of an outer periphery of the coil is covered with the magnetic core, a region of the magnetic core on a side close to the opening of the case is made of a mixture of magnetic…
