This is my really annoying and stupid problem. I am designing a DC-DC converter and need to find surface mount holder for toroid inductor. It is two stacked cores, with wrapped OD approximately 23mm and height approximately 20mm. Well I have been wading through datasheets for hours and cannot find what I need. None of the companies seem to index anything like this in a way that makes sense so I'm stuck clicking on all these incomprehensible pdfs and can't figure out whether the parts will even fit, especially the height.
I wonder if anyone know of a company that has a simple online form for finding an appropriate toroid mount, or has any other relevant ideas. I cannot spend any more time with this. It is driving me crazy. I even asked my magnetics supplier and was told that they have no time to figure it out either. What a bone job.
Maby they will have something http://indel.pl/
I've never met a SMT holder glueing is simplier than trying to use a holder. That holder must be glued or soldered manually I supose. And a hot glue is quite easy for unmounting.
Once I've seen torroid transformers mounted on SMT torroid holders. They were smaller, though 10mm OD, 20mm height. Unfortunately, I don't know where they came from, but the transformers were custom-wound.
I would ask the shop, which will be winding the inductor for you, if they know about the holders
