Planar Transformers are devices used to exact standards with precise electrical characteristics such as capacitance, output, and aspect ratio.[1] They are used to carry out military and aerospace projects.

Advantages over conventional counterparts

  • Bulleted list item
  • Significantly reduced height (low profile)
  • Greater surface area, resulting in improved
  • heat dissipation capability.
  • Greater magnetic cross-section area, enabling
  • fewer turns
  • Smaller winding area
  • Winding structure facilitates interleaving
  • Lower leakage inductance resulting from
  • fewer turns and interleaved windings
  • Less AC winding resistance
  • Excellent reproducibility, enabled by winding structure [2]
