2. Description of the Prior Art
Most of the conventional common transformer structures have their coils slip on the middle part of an E-I iron core set or an E-E iron core set by making use of the
“E” and “I” iron cores to cover out of the coils so as to form a magnetic conducting loop at the periphery of the coils. Limiting by the size of the iron cores, these types of “E” and “I” silicon steel plates being furnished at the periphery of the coils make the overall size of transformer rather large and the height of it is not easy to diminish, thereby they are not suitable to make miniaturized and precise electronic products.
