top | item 44079942 (no title) ttkari | 9 months ago That PCB transformer design is interesting. discuss order hn newest amelius|9 months ago Was this done to save costs? I can't imagine any other reason. kees99|9 months ago The opposite. Planar (PCB-based) transformers are more expensive to make, but allow much tighter control over where wires and insulation go.A properly designed one will be significantly more compact for the same power rating (compared to wire-wound one).They are quite common in high-wattage high-reliability power supplies like modular PSUs in rack-mount servers. load replies (1)
