Focus:
Two of the practical considerations in magnetic component construction are how to hold a spool
of wire so that wire can be easily dispensed from it when constructing prototypes and how to
mount small toroids on circuit boards. This article offers tips on how to make prototype
magnetic component construction less cumbersome. The article begins with a recipe for
constructing simple wire spool holders using readily available materials. Then, the discussion
on mounting small toroids using DIP headers offers a low-cost, convenient mounting option with
tips on making these headers work.
What you’ll learn:
- How to build wire spool holders for making prototypes of transformers and coupled inductors
- How to mount small toroids to pc boards using DIP headers
