Abstract
Abstract A transformer having a molded coil which can stably sustain an electric-shock free function for a long period of time. The transformer has a grounded conductive shield layer on the surface of the molded coil. The shield layer is composed of a plurality of segments so that a stable bonding of the shield layer to resin is kept for a long period of time, with the respective segments being grounded by a conductor.
