This application provides a common-mode
inductor, a
switching power supply, an
inverter, and communication equipment. The common-mode
inductor includes a U-shaped
magnetic core, an enameled flat
copper wire winding, and a fixing structure. The enameled flat
copper wire winding is wound vertically on the U-shaped
magnetic core. This vertical winding method allows the enameled flat
copper wire to be wound perpendicular to the plane of the U-shaped
magnetic core. This winding method can improve the
filling rate of the winding, reduce the space occupied by the winding, and also help reduce
eddy current losses and proximity effects at high frequencies, thus improving the high-frequency performance of the
inductor. The enameled flat
copper wire has good
conductivity and insulation properties, which can meet the operating requirements of the inductor under
high current and
high voltage environments. The fixing structure is used to fix the U-shaped magnetic core and the enameled flat
copper wire winding, ensuring the stability of the winding's position on the U-shaped magnetic core and preventing loosening or displacement of the winding during inductor operation, thereby ensuring the
electrical performance and
mechanical stability of the inductor.
