A modular inductor arrangement is provided in which a footprint of an
enclosure for single or multiple phase inductors provides enhanced
thermal transfer. The inductor coil may be wound about an axis generally
parallel to a mounting surface of the package, so as to provide for
reduced height and expanded footprint dimensions. The inductor package
may be mounted on a thermal support, such as a fluid-cooled support. Heat
is extracted from the assembly during operation, so as to establish a
reduced maximum internal temperature as compared to here for known
structures. The arrangement may be included in various circuit
configurations, such as power converters. Other components may be
incorporated and integrated into the package, including sensors,
capacitor coils, other inductor coils, and so forth.
