Center-tapped transformer

1. A center-tapped transformer comprising:

a tubular first spool having

a first surrounding wall defining a spool axis, and having opposite first and second ends,

a first pin-mounting wall extending radially and outwardly from a portion of said first end of said first surrounding wall, and

a first pin set mounted on said first pin-mounting wall;

a tubular second spool having

a second surrounding wall having first and second ends,

a second pin-mounting wall extending radially and outwardly from a portion of said first end of said second surrounding wall, and

a second pin set mounted on said second pin-mounting wall;

said second surrounding wall having an inner diameter larger than an outer diameter of said first surrounding wall, and permitting said second end of said first surrounding wall to be inserted into said second surrounding wall, said first and second pin sets being disposed at diametrically opposite sides of the spool axis when said first surrounding wall is inserted into said second surrounding wall;

a primary winding unit wound on one of said first and second surrounding walls; and

first and second secondary winding units wound on the other one of said first and second surrounding walls;

wherein said first pin mounting wall is formed with a recess opposite to said first pin set along the spool axis, and said second surrounding wall is formed with a flange extending radially and outwardly from another portion of said first end of said second surrounding wall that is diametrically opposite to the second pin mounting wall, said flange engaging said recess so as to retain said first surrounding wall in said second surrounding wall when said first surrounding wall is inserted into said second surrounding wall.

2. The center-tapped transformer as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said second spool further has a partition plate that extends in radial outward directions from said second surrounding wall so as to divide said second spool into axially extending first and second spool parts, said first secondary winding unit being wound on said first spool part, said second secondary winding unit being wound on said second spool part, said primary winding unit being wound on said first surrounding wall.

3. The center-tapped transformer as claimed in claim 2 , wherein said partition plate is formed integrally with said second surrounding wall.

4. The center-tapped transformer as claimed in claim 3 , wherein said first and second secondary winding units are disposed side-by-side along the spool axis.

5. The center-tapped transformer as claimed in claim 2 , wherein said primary winding unit is connected electrically to said first pin set, and said first and second secondary winding units are connected electrically to said second pin set.

6. The center-tapped transformer as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said first spool further has a partition plate that extends in radial outward directions from said first surrounding wall so as to divide said first spool into axially extending first and second spool parts, said first secondary winding unit being wound on said first spool part, said second secondary winding unit being wound on said second spool part, said primary winding unit being wound on said second surrounding wall.

7. The center-tapped transformer as claimed in claim 6 , wherein said partition plate is formed integrally with said first surrounding wall.

8. The center-tapped transformer as claimed in claim 7 , wherein said first and second secondary winding units are disposed side-by-side along the spool axis.

9. The center-tapped transformer as claimed in claim 6 , wherein said primary winding unit is connected electrically to said second pin set, and said first and second secondary winding units are connected electrically to said first pin set.
