Abstract:

A power converter comprises a first printed circuit board containing some of the circuitry of the power converter, a header comprising a support structure and a multiplicity of metallic pins passing through the support structure, and an inductor mounted to the support structure and including wires connected to respective pins. Portions of the pins on one side of the support structure are mounted to the first printed circuit board to support the header in fixed offset relation to the first printed circuit board. Portions of the pins on an opposite other side of the support structure are adapted to mount to a second, mother board to support the header in fixed offset relation to the mother board. Some of the pins carry a first DC/DC voltage from the mother board to the first printed circuit board, other of the pins electrically interconnect the inductor to the first printed circuit board as part of the power converter, and still other of the pins carry a second, output DC voltage from the first printed circuit board to the mother board.
