Planar transformers are generally much lower in height than conventional transformers. This is because the windings in planar transformers are printed on a multi-layer PCB, or using flat copper windings, instead of wrapping wire around a core. This makes them ideal for applications that require a low-profile design.

Both types of planar transformer follow the same process. The example layout below shows how a planar transformer is formed by wrapping the transformer core material around the PCB layout using cutouts. The two sides of the core can be screwed together or secured with a small clip, as shown above.

A planar transformer is an electrical device that transfers power from one circuit to another. It consists of two or more sets of primary and secondary windings that are placed on the same flat or planar surface.

Consists of copper traces routed in desired shapes in different layers of the PCB. Both the primary and secondary windings can be routed on the same winding layout board. Proper isolation should be provided between the primary and secondary windings and where the winding boards meet the main transformer board.

Planar magnetics are different from conventional magnetics. Compared to conventional magnetics, the core of planar magnetics have a low profile or low vertical height. Instead of the helical windings in traditional magnetics, the windings of planar magnetics are designed on flat surfaces.
