Multi-sectional bobbin for high voltage inductor or transformer

[0026]Inductors, coils and transformers are widely used in electric designs and systems. Typically, wire or some other conductor is wound around a spindle or winding form, hereinafter referred to as a “bobbin” in order to impart desired structure to the windings and, often, to facilitate alignment of such windings with a core. Persons of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate a wide variety of bobbin configurations, geometries, material selections, conductors, core configurations, etc. and this description does not attempt to inventory the substantial diversity of such variations. Instead, in the interests of conciseness and specificity with respect to certain inventive aspects, the present description focuses on exemplary embodiments in which a circular multi-sectional bobbin is wound (or windable) with wire in configurations typical (or at least illustrative) of coils employed in compact, small-form factor, high-voltage transformers. Based on that description context, persons of o
