In this embodiment, each circle of coil includes a first inner conductive hole, a first conductive pattern 32a, a first outer conductive hole, a second outer conductive hole, a second conductive pattern 32b, and a second inner conductive hole. Wherein, the first outer conductive hole and the second outer conductive hole in each circle of coil share the same outer conductive hole 19 (that is, the outer conductive holes 19 of the plurality of circles of coils coincide). The first inner conductive hole and the second inner conductive hole in each circle of coil are respectively shared by adjacent coils (that is, two adjacent circles of coils coincide with adjacent inner conductive holes 18 respectively). That is, two ends of each inner conductive hole 18 are respectively connected with the wire patterns 32 in adjacent circles of coils, and the two wire patterns 32 are respectively located on the transmission line layers 32 on two sides of the substrate 10.

The annular receiving grooves 12 on the substrate 10 can be all used to form transformers 52, and can also be all used to form filters 54, and it is also possible that some of them are used to form transformers 52 and others of them are used to form filters 54, this is not limited here. Therefore, the plurality of central portions 14 on the substrate 10, their corresponding peripheral portions 16, the plurality of magnet cores 20, the plurality of conductive members 40, and the transmission line layers 30 located at two opposite sides of the substrate 10 can form a plurality of transformers 52 and/or a plurality of filters 54 arranged according to a predetermined arrangement rule.

Alternatively, the thickness of the transmission line layer 30 is 65-80 μm, because when etching the transmission line layer 30 to form the wire patterns 32, if the thickness is too large (i.e., larger than 80 μm) and a distance between two adjacent wire patterns 32 on the same transmission line layer 30 is small, it may be caused that the etching is not clean and connection between two adjacent wire patterns 32 occurs, thereby causing short-circuit; if the thickness is too small (i.e., less than 40 μm), current carrying capability of the wire patterns 32 may be lowered.
In this embodiment, the metal material of the transmission line layer 30 and the material of the conductive members 40 in the inner via holes 15 and the outer via holes 17 can adopt the same material. Taking copper as an example, it is possible to use the substrate 10 as a cathode and place the substrate 10 in salt solution containing copper ions to perform electroplating, so that the transmission line layers 30 are formed on two sides of the substrate 10, and the conductive members 40 are simultaneously formed in inner walls of each inner via hole 15 and each outer via hole 17.
In another embodiment, the material of the transmission line layer 30 and the material of the conductive members 40 in the inner via holes 15 and the outer via holes 17 can also adopt different materials.
