The first conductor 200 and the second conductor 400 are wound around the magnet 100. The first conductor 200 and the second conductor 400 have welding surfaces 300, and the welding surfaces 300 are located on the same side of the magnet 100; the welding surfaces 300 are flush with the surface of the magnet 100 in height. The welding surfaces 300 are attached with a metallization layer 500, and the metallization layer 500 extends to the two side edges of the magnet 100. The metallization layers 500 of the welding surfaces 300 of the first conductor 200 and the second conductor 400 are insulated and spaced apart.

The insulating spacer lines or surfaces of the metallization layer 500 extend along the gap between the first conductor 200 and the second conductor 400 to the two side edges of the magnet 100. The first conductor 200 and the second conductor 400 are respectively electrically connected to the metallization layer 500 that is insulated and spaced apart. For the TLVR dual-conductor inductor provided by the present application, the welding surface 300 is flush with the surface of the magnet 100 in height, which improves the flatness of the welding surface 300 and effectively avoids the problem of false soldering; the metallization layer 500 attached to the welding surface 300 extends to the two side edges of the magnet 100, and the metallization layers 500 of the welding surfaces 300 of the first conductor 200 and the second conductor 400 are insulated and spaced apart, providing a larger contact area for welding, thus facilitating visual inspection of the welding condition, reducing the detection difficulty and the outflow ratio of defective products.

The metallization layer 500 is a stack of Cu, Ni, and Sn in sequence, or a stack of Ni, Cu, and Sn in sequence. In another embodiment, the metallization layer 500 is formed by electroplating or PVD process. The metallization layer 500 is a stack of Cr, Ni, and Ag in sequence, or a stack of Ni and Sn in sequence. The metallization layer 500 not only provides a larger contact area for welding, thus facilitating visual inspection of the welding condition, reducing the detection difficulty and the outflow ratio of defective products, but also improves the mechanical strength, conductivity, and corrosion resistance of the inductor.

[0026] In this embodiment, there is an insulator between the first conductor 200 and the second conductor 400; the insulator is an insulating coating applied to the inner side surface of the first conductor 200.

After the first magnet 110 and the second magnet 120 are attached, the directions of the first groove 111 and the second groove 121 are the same, and the third groove 122 connects the first groove 111 and the second groove 121.

[0030] In this embodiment, the welding surface 300 is flush with the surfaces of the first magnet 110 and the second magnet 120. Specifically, the welding surface 300 levels the surfaces of the first conductor 200 and the second conductor 400 through CNC machining. In another alternative embodiment, the welding surface 300 levels the surfaces of the first conductor 200 and the second conductor 400 through laser machining. The welding surface 300 is at the same height as the surface of the magnet 100, ensuring the flatness of the welding surface 300 and improving the welding quality.

[0031] In this embodiment, the first conductor 200 is an overall concave shape formed by bending a rectangular sheet.

[0039] S5. Use CNC or laser to strip the paint on the surface of the welding surfaces 300 of the first conductor 200 and the second conductor 400. The paint stripping extends from the surface of the welding surfaces 300 to the two side edges of the second magnet 120 to remove the surface insulating layer, obtaining the surface treatment substrate surface of the metallization layer 500. And during the paint stripping, it is necessary to keep the surfaces of the welding surfaces 300 and the magnet 100 at the same height to ensure the flatness of the inductor after subsequent metallization treatment.
