The present invention relates generally to a magnetic module and an electrical connector including the magnetic module, and more particularly to a magnetic module and an electrical connector including the magnetic module suitable for an Ethernet circuit.
Power over Ethernet (PoE) is a technology that can transmit power and data to devices in Ethernet. Ethernet to transmit DC power on the data transmission line at the same time, so that small data devices can be directly powered by the Ethernet connection, and electronic devices that are powered by Ethernet can be used without additional power outlets, Electronic equipment powered by Ethernet can be used without additional power outlets, so it can save time and money to configure power outlets, the cost of the entire equipment system is relatively reduced. In the PoE system, the device that provides power is called Power Sourcing Equipment or PSE, and the equipment that uses power is called Powered Device (PD). Through this technology, devices including Internet phones, wireless base stations, cameras, hubs, and microwave devices can be powered by PoE technology.
China Patent No. 205751811 discloses a magnetic module including a magnetic core, a primary coil and a secondary coil wound on the magnetic core, a first center tap on the primary coil side and a second center tap on the secondary coil side. Each of the primary coil and the secondary coil is composed of one enameled wire. In the Power over Ethernet (PoE) system, the heat mainly comes from the power and signal mixing area. According to the formula R=ρ*L/S and W=P=I*I*R. If the diameter of the enameled wire is smaller, the resistance will be larger. When the current passes through the wire, the temperature rise is likely to be too high, resulting in a large power loss, which cannot meet the demand for high-power supply. In order to reduce resistance and power consumption, the cross section S of the enameled wire must be large enough, but a single large diameter enameled wire has a high tension during the winding and bending process, which will easily cause the outer layer of the paint to rupture. However, if the primary coil and the secondary coil increase the number of enameled wires at the same time to increase the cross-sectional area, when the multiple wires are twisted together, it is easy to cause the problem that the wires are too hard and not easy to twist.
An improved magnetic module and an electrical connector including the magnetic module is desired.
A main object of the present invention is to provide a magnetic module that supports filtering and power supply, has low power loss, and is easy to wind.
To achieve the above-mentioned object, a magnetic module comprises: a magnetic core; a primary coil wound on the magnetic core, the primary coil includes a first group of enameled wires and a second group of enameled wires, the first group of enameled wires and the second group of enameled wires forming a primary input end, a primary output end, and a first center tap; a secondary coil wound on the magnetic core, the secondary coil includes a third group of enameled wires and a fourth group of enameled wires, wherein the number of enameled wires of the third group of enameled wires is the same as that of the fourth group of enameled wires, the number of enameled wires of the first group is the same as that of the second group of enameled wires, and the number of the first group of enameled wires and the second group of enameled wires is greater than the number of the third group of enameled wires and the fourth group of enameled wires.

Compared to the prior art, the primary coil for transmitting power and signal uses multiple stranded wires to achieve a larger cross-sectional area, thereby reducing the resistance and heating power of the coil, the number of enameled wires in the secondary coil for signal transmission is less than that of the primary coil, so that the magnetic module can filter and supply power, and it is also convenient for winding the enameled wire.

Each enameled wire has a first thread and a second thread. The first group of enameled wire 21 is red. Each enameled wire in the first group of enameled wires 21 comprises a first thread R and a second thread r. The second group of enameled wire 22 is green. Each enameled wire in the second group of enameled wires 22 comprises a first thread G and a second thread g. The third group of enameled wire 33 is blue. Each enameled wire in the third group of enameled wires 33 comprises a first thread B and a second thread b. The fourth group of enameled wire 34 is natural. Each enameled wire in the fourth group of enameled wires 34 comprises a first thread N and a second thread n. The color of the enameled wire is just for easy distinction, and other colors can also be used instead.
The first thread RRR of the three enameled wires of the first group of enameled wires 21 collectively serve as the primary input end 211 of the primary coil 2 of the transformer. The second thread rrr of the first group of enameled wires 21 and the first thread GGG of the second group of enameled wires 22 together form a first center tap 101. The second thread ggg of the three enameled wires of the second group of enameled wires 22 are collectively used as the primary output end 213 of the transformer primary coil 2. The first thread B of an enameled wire of the third group of enameled wires 33 is used as the secondary input end 331 of the transformer secondary coil 3. The second thread b of the third group of enameled wires 33 and the first thread N of the fourth group of enameled wires 34 together form a second center tap 102.
