Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of electronic components, in particular to a low-power pulse transformer and a charger. Background Art

[0002] In the field of electronic component technology, especially in high-performance radar communication systems, low-power pulse transformers play a vital role. This type of transformer is not only a bridge for signal transmission, ensuring that high-frequency, low-power pulse signals are transmitted efficiently and accurately within the system, but also a key factor affecting the stability and reliability of the entire system. The traditional tank-type low-power pulse transformer design mostly adopts the method of directly winding the enameled wire on the skeleton by hand or machine, and then assembling the magnetic core assembly. Although this type of design has historically met the basic electrical performance requirements, its limitations are becoming increasingly prominent with the urgent demand for miniaturization, integration, and high efficiency of modern radar communication equipment.

[0003] Specifically, several key issues in traditional designs limit the overall performance and manufacturing efficiency of the system. First, the direct lead-out method of the transformer leads requires that each pin be identified and correctly connected one by one during installation, which is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also very easy to cause connection errors due to human errors, affecting system performance. Secondly, the exposed leads are susceptible to physical damage or electromagnetic interference during production and transportation, and are difficult to repair after damage, which increases maintenance costs and reduces the overall reliability and service life of the product. Furthermore, in order to accommodate these lead soldering, the circuit board design must include additional space and pads, which is a volume waste that cannot be ignored in modern electronic devices that pursue extreme miniaturization.

[0004] Therefore, how to optimize the structural design of the transformer, simplify the installation process, and improve integration and reliability while ensuring electrical performance has become a major challenge in the current development of electronic component technology.
