Solution Overview

Problem

In large current and high frequency circuits, parasitic inductance in wiring remains a significant issue despite conventional methods like shortening wires or using twisted or parallel configurations, as these methods do not adequately cancel magnetic flux, leading to insufficient suppression of parasitic inductance.

Innovation Solution

A wiring core structure featuring a tubular-shaped core made of soft magnetic material with a wound wire, where the core is divided into multiple sections with varying diameters and shapes to create a superposition structure that utilizes the transformer principle to cancel magnetic flux by short-circuiting the wound wire, effectively reducing parasitic inductance.

AI summary

A wound wire is wound around a core assembly so that both ends are short-circuited. In a coupling pin insertion state in which a coupling pin is inserted in a through hole of the core assembly, outer-peripheral space parts of respective divided core portions of the core assembly are disposed so as to overlap in plan view. Consequently, an air gap is formed in a part of a side surface of the core assembly. Before formation of a covering member, a main wire is caused to pass through the air gap and is thus disposed in a wiring hole of the core assembly. Then, the covering member for closing the air gap is provided on an outer peripheral surface side of the core assembly including the air gap so that a core structure is obtained.
