What is a planar transformer?

A transformer is a device that transfers electric power from one circuit to one or more other circuits, and it can increase or reduce the voltage during the transformation. A planar transformer is one of the types of transformer which features a flat, planar design.

What are the differences between the traditional transformers?

Planar transformers are weight and space-saving,  typically used in applications where space is limited, and are availble for design in all packages.

Planar Transformer Advantages

• High Frequency Operating

Planar transformers perform well in high-frequency applications, reducing high frequency AC losses.

• Low Profile

Thinner and flatter than traditional transformers, Planar transformers save significant costs.

• High Power Density

The consolidated design allows planar transformers to pack more layers of windings, which makes them provide higher power outputs.

• High Efficiency

Planar transformers are made of copper, having low losses and higher efficiency compared to conventional transformers.

• Low Resistance

Planar transformers have low turns, which means better heat transfer and extremely low resistance, leading to low leakage inductance.

Planar Transformer Applications

Planar Transformers of Standard sizes can be  customized to meet special demands, like:

• Electric Vehicles

Because planar transformers need less space but keep nice performance, Automotive companies often choose them for better fast charging.

• Consumer Electronics

Planar transformers are ideal for phone and computer chargers, for they have excellent stability and reliability during charge and discharge cycles.

• Medical Equipment

Planar transformers are perfect for medical equipment by providing steady electric current levels. Their small sizes make them apply to small devices very well.

• Telecommunications

Telecommunications infrastructure requires planar transformers, like providing reliable power to base stations, and minimizing noise interference.
