WHAT ARE FERRITES?

Ferrites are dense, homogeneous ceramic structures made by mixing iron oxide (Fe 2 O 3 ) with
oxides or carbonates of one or more metals such as manganese, zinc, nickel, or magnesium. They
are pressed, then fired in a kiln up to 2000˚ F, and machined as needed to meet various
operational requirements.
ADVANTAGES OF FERRITES

Section 1

Introduction

Ferrites have a paramount advantage over other types of magnetic materials: high electrical
resistivity and resultant low eddy current losses over a wide frequency range. Additional
characteristics such as high permeability and time/temperature stability have expanded ferrite
uses into quality filter circuits, high frequency transformers, wide band transformers, adjustable
inductors, delay lines, and other high frequency electronic circuitry. As the high frequency
performance of other circuit components continues to be improved, ferrites are routinely designed
into magnetic circuits for both low level and power applications. For the most favorable
combination of low cost, high Q, high stability, and lowest volume, ferrites are the best core
material choice for frequencies from 10 KHz to 50 MHz. Ferrites offer an unmatched flexibility in
magnetic and mechanical parameters.

A L is inductance factor, mH/1000 Turns, or nH/T 2 (see page 14.2 for
definitions, page 2.1 for measurement setup.) See the chart on pages 1.81.11 for tolerances. The standard gap codes do not apply to U-Cores,
toroids, I-Cores, or some E-I combinations.
3. UNIT OF MEASURE
See Note 5 on page 1.5. For parts ordered in pieces (E-Cores), the depth
of grind is given for each piece. For parts ordered in sets, the depth of
grind is given as a total for the set, and may be UG/G or G/G (see the
chart on page 1.8 to determine which is standard.)

MAGNETICS

EXAMPLE

A L (if < 1000)
A L if 1000 or greater (add 1000 to code)
A L if < 100, non-integer (divide code by10)
Depth of grind in mils (1000 ths of an inch)
Depth of grind, mm (divide code by 10)

When ordering E-cores gapped to an A L value it is critical to understand
whether the standard is UG/G or G/G. See Note 1 on page 1.9.

Gapped Cores

Depth of Grind
Tolerance Ranges
Either the A L or the depth of grind (not both) is controlled during production
of gapped cores. Part numbering for gapped cores is explained on page 1.6.
Codes A, X and F define A L values. Codes G and M define depths of grind.

“Ungapped to gap combination” means an asymmetrical gap; the entire
gap is taken from one piece, and the other piece is ungapped. “Gap to gap
combination” means the gap is symmetrical; half of the total gap is ground
into each piece.

In most applications, defining the gap with the AL results in inductors with the
least variation. Electrical measurement is inherently more precise, and
compensation is made for variability in material permeability and core geometry.
For deep gaps, however, better consistency often results when the depth of
grind is specified. In such cases, variation in the finished inductor is
dominated by the variation in the windings, especially if the number of
turns is low.

E-cores are sold as pieces, not sets. To make an
ungapped/gapped set, use one piece of each. For example, use
OR41808G050 with OR41808EC for an asymmetrical gap of
0.050” ± 001”. For the same gap, but symmetric, use two
pieces of OR41808G025.

1. UNIT OF MEASURE
When specifying and ordering E-Cores gapped to an A L , it is important to
note which cores are produced in gap-to-gap combination, because two
gapped pieces are assembled to achieve the A L . Alternatively, for E-Cores
provided ungapped-to-gap, an ungapped piece must be used with the
gapped part to achieve the A L . POT, RS, DS, RM, PQ, and EP cores are
sold as sets whether the combination is G/G or UG/G.

3. CORRELATION
Magnetics tests gapped A L values with full bobbins, usually 100 turns,
or 250 turns for deep gaps. The drive level is low (5 Gauss) and the
frequency is set low enough to avoid resonance effects. Measured
inductance in an application may vary significantly from the theoretical
value due to low turns, low bobbin fill, leakage effects, resonance
effects, or elevated drive levels.

2. SIGNIFICANT FIGURES
A L testing and limits are calculated to three significant digits, based on
the nominal value. For example, A L = 99±3% is interpreted as 96.0
Minimum, 99.0 Nominal, and 102.0 Maximum.

It is important for the user to verify the correlation between the test of
the core and the specific test being applied to the inductor or
transformer. Planar E Cores, planar RM, and planar PQ cores are
especially susceptible to correlation discrepancies.

MAGNETICS

EQUIPMENT

The test data included in this catalog was primarily obtained using bridges such as a HewlettPackard 419A impedance analyzer. The HP 4192A was used for permeability and loss factor data
from 10kHz to 1MHz. A Wayne-Kerr 3245 inductance analyzer was used for DC bias to 100kHz.
Also, for Permeability vs. Temperature, Permeability vs. Frequency, and Disaccommodation, an HP
4192A was coupled with a computer controlled temperature cabinet and an HP 9836 computer.
Core loss up to and including 100kHz is measured using a 11401 Tektronix oscilloscope connected to an HP Vectra computer. This is a fully automated system. Other measurements include core
loss using a Tektronix 7854 digital oscilloscope and an HP 9836 computer to measure losses at
500kHz to 1MHz. This test setup is also used to obtain B-H loops in the 1kHz to 100kHz ranges.

Section 2

Measurement
Information

High level readings such as Permeability vs. Flux Density were measured on a General Radio 1632A incremental bridge.
Q measurements were made on a Boonton 260A Q-meter.
MEASUREMENT
For initial permeability and inductance measurements, excitation levels are kept at values insuring
flux densities below 10 gauss.
Temperature measurements normally are obtained between -30° and 70°C but additional temperatures to - 65° and 260°C are used to indicate trends and changes in materials properties outside
the normal guaranteed range. Inductance measurements for disaccommodation are made at 10
and 100 minutes after the test core has been demagnetized. Disaccommodation Factor is calculated mathematically.
Test bobbins are carefully layer wound with magnet wire or litz wire whose size is chosen so that
the calculated number of turns completely fills the bobbin.
Before core halves are assembled, the mating surfaces should be clean and free from dust. After
aligning the two core halves, pressure indicated in the table below should be applied. Magnetics
clamping hardware will handle these pressures.

VOLTAGE BREAKDOWN MEASUREMENT

CALIBRATION

Core finishes (toroids) are tested for voltage breakdown by inserting the
core between two weighted wire mesh pads. Force is adjusted to produce a
uniform pressure of 10psi, simulating winding pressure. The test condition
to guarantee minimum breakdown (see 13.2) is a 60 Hertz r.m.s. voltage
equal to 1.25 times the minimum.

All measurement equipment is periodically checked against our NSB traceable standards. These standards include an EDC 2902 DC voltage standard,
an EDC 3200 AC/DC current calibrator, a Fluke 5200A AC calibrator, and
various resistance, capacitive, and Q standards.

Ferrite is an ideal core material for transformers, inverters and inductors in the frequency range 20
kHz to 3 MHz, due to the combination of low core cost and low core losses.
Ferrite is an excellent material for high frequency (20 kHz to 3 MHz) inverter power supplies.
Ferrites may be used in the saturating mode for low power, low frequency operation (<50 watts
and 10 kHz). For high power operation a two transformer design, using a tape wound core as the
saturating core and a ferrite core as the output transformer, offers maximum performance. The two
transformer design offers high efficiency excellent frequency stability, and low switching losses.

Section 4

Power
Design

Ferrite cores may also be used in fly-back transformer designs, which offer low core cost, low circuit cost
and high voltage capability. Powder cores (MPP, High Flux, Kool Mµ®) offer soft saturation, higher Bmax
and better temperature stability and may be the best choice in some flyback applications or inductors.
High frequency power supplies, both inverters and converters, offer lower cost, and lower weight
and volume than conventional 60 hertz and 400 hertz power sources.
Many cores in this section are standard types commonly used in the industry. If a suitable size for
your application is not listed, Magnetics will be happy to review your needs, and, if necessary,
quote tooling where quantities warrant.
Cores are available gapped to avoid saturation under dc bias conditions. J and W materials are
available with lapped surfaces.
Bobbins for many cores are available from Magnetics. VDE requirements have been taken into account in
bobbin designs for EC, PQ and metric E Cores. Many bobbins are also available commercially.

EP CORES

F, P, and R materials, offering the lowest core losses and highest saturation flux density,
are most suitable for high power/high temperature operation. P material core losses
decrease with temperature up to 70˚C; R material losses decrease up to 100˚C.

EP Cores are round center-post cubical shapes which enclose the coil completely
except for the printed circuit board terminals. The particular shape
minimizes the effect of air gaps formed at mating surfaces in the magnetic
path and provides a larger volume ratio to total space used. Shielding
is excellent.

J and W materials offer high impedance for broad transformers, and are
also suitable for low-level power transformers.

CORE GEOMETRIES
POT CORES

Pot Cores, when assembled, nearly surround the wound bobbin. This aids in
shielding the coil from pickup of EMI from outside sources. The pot core
dimensions all follow IEC standards so that there is interchangeability
between manufacturers. Both plain and printed circuit bobbins are
available, as are mounting and assembly hardware. Because of its design,
the pot core is a more expensive core than other shapes of a comparable
size. Pot cores for high power applications are not readily available.
DOUBLE SLAB AND RM CORES

Slab-sided solid center post cores resemble pot cores, but have a section cut
off on either side of the skirt. Large openings allow large size wires to be
accommodated and assist in removing heat from the assembly. RM cores
are also similar to pot cores, but are designed to minimize board space,
providing at least a 40% savings in mounting area. Printed circuit or plain
bobbins are available. Simple one piece clamps allow simple assembly. Low
profile is possible. The solid center post generates less core loss and this
minimizes heat buildup.

4.2

PQ CORES

PQ cores are designed especially for switched mode power supplies. The
design provides an optimized ratio of volume to winding area and surface
area. As a result, both maximum inductance and winding area are possible
with a minimum core size. The cores thus provide maximum power output
with a minimum assembled transformer weight and volume, in addition to
taking up a minimum amount of area on the printed circuit board. Assembly
with printed circuit bobbins and one piece clamps is simplified. This efficient
design provides a more uniform cross-sectional area; thus cores tend to operate
with fewer hot spots than with other designs.
E CORES

E cores are less expensive than pot cores, and have the advantages of simple bobbin
winding plus easy assembly. Gang winding is possible for the bobbins used
with these cores. E cores do not, however, offer self-shielding. Lamination
size E shapes are available to fit commercially available bobbins previously
designed to fit the strip stampings of standard lamination sizes. Metric and
DIN sizes are also available. E cores can be pressed to different thickness,
providing a selection of cross-sectional areas. Bobbins for these different
cross sectional areas are often available commercially.
E cores can be mounted in different directions, and if desired, provide a lowprofile. Printed circuit bobbins are available for low-profile mounting. E
cores are popular shapes due to their lower cost, ease of assembly and
winding, and the ready availability of a variety of hardware.
PLANAR E CORES

Planar E cores are offered in all of the IEC standard sizes, as well as a number of other sizes. Magnetics R material is perfectly suited to planar
designs due to its low AC core losses and minimum losses at 100°C. Planar
designs typically have low turns counts and favorable thermal dissipation
compared with conventional ferrite transformers, and as a consequence the
optimum designs for space and efficiency result in higher flux densities. In
those designs, the performance advantage of R material is especially significant.
The leg length and window height (B and D dimensions) are adjustable for
specific applications without new tooling. This permits the designer to
adjust the final core specification to exactly accommodate the planar conductor stack height, with no wasted space. Clips and clip slots are avail-

MAGNETICS

able in many cases, which is especially useful for prototyping. I-cores are
also offered standard, permitting further flexibility in design. E-I planar
combinations are useful to allow practical face bonding in high volume
assembly, and for making gapped inductor cores where fringing losses must
be carefully considered due to the planar construction.

TOROIDS

EC, ETD AND EER CORES

SUMMARY

These shapes are a cross between E cores and pot cores. Like E cores, they
provide a wide opening on each side. This gives adequate space for the
large size wires required for low output voltage switched mode power
supplies. It also allows for a flow of air which keeps the assembly cooler.
The center post is round, like that of the pot core. One of the advantages
of the round center post is that the winding has a shorter path length
around it (11% shorter) than the wire around a square center post with an
equal area. This reduces the losses of the windings by 11% and enables the
core to handle a higher output power. The round center post also eliminates
the sharp bend in the wire that occurs with winding on a square center post.

Ferrite geometries offer a wide selection in shapes and sizes. When choosing a core
for power applications, parameters shown in Table 1 should be evaluated.

Toroids are economical to manufacture; hence, they are least costly of all comparable
core shapes. Since no bobbin is required, accessory and assembly costs are nil.
Winding is done on toroidal winding machines. Shielding is relatively good.

General Formulas
TRANSFORMER CORE SIZE SELECTION

The power handling capacity on a transformer core can be determined by its
WaAc product, where Wa is the available core window area, and Ac is the
effective core cross-sectional area.

Substituting for EAw in (4), we obtain:
8
WaAc= P oC x 10
4eB fK
Assuming the following operational conditions:
C= 4.05 x 10 -3 cm 2 /Amp (square wave) and
2.53 x 10 -3 cm 2 /Amp (sine wave) for toroids
C= 5.07 x 10 -3 cm 2 /Amp (square wave) and
3.55 x 10 -3 cm 2 /Amp (sine wave) for pot cores and
E-U-I cores.
e= 90% for transformers
e= 80% for inverters (including circuit losses)
K= 0.30 for pot cores and E-U-I cores (primary side only)
K= 0.20 for toroids (primary side only)

FIGURE 1

The WaAc/power-output relationship is obtained by starting with Faraday’s Law:
(1)
E=4B Ac Nf x 10 -8 (square wave)
(1a)
E=4.44 BAc Nf x 10 -8 (sine wave)

With larger wire sizes, and/or higher voltages, these K factors may not be obtainable.
To minimize both wire losses and core size, the window area must be full.
NOTE: For Wire Tables and turns/bobbin data, refer to pgs 5.8.

Thus:

For square wave operation
k’ = .00633 for toroids, k’ = .00528 for pot cores, k’ = .00528 for E-U-I cores
A core selection chart (Table 3) using WaAc can be found on page 4.7. In
addition a A core selection procedure which varies by topology can also be
found on page 4.8. This procedure is based on the book “Switching Power
Supply Design” by A.I. Pressman. While the formula above allows WaAc to be
adjusted based on selected core geometry, the Pressman approach uses topology as the key consideration and allows the designer to specify current density.

GENERAL INFORMATION

An ideal transformer is one that offers minimum core loss while requiring
the least amount of space. The core loss of a given core is directly effected by the flux density and the frequency. Frequency is the most important
characteristic concerning a transformer. Faraday’s Law illustrates that as
frequency increases, the flux density decreases proportionately. Core losses decrease more when the flux density drops than when frequency rises.
For example, if a transformer were run at 250 kHz and 2 kG on R material at 100°C, the core losses would be approximately 400 mW/cm 3 . If the
frequency were doubled and all other parameters untouched, by virtue of
Faraday’s law, the flux density would become 1kG and the resulting core
losses would be approximately 300mW/cm 3 .
Typical ferrite power transformers are core loss limited in the range of 50200mW/cm 3 . Planar designs can be run more aggressively, up to 600
mW/cm 3 , due to better power dissipation and less copper in the windings.

CIRCUIT TYPES

CORE IN PUSH-PULL CIRCUIT

Some general comments on the different circuits are:
The push-pull circuit is efficient because it makes bi-directional use of a
transformer core, providing an output with low ripple. However, circuitry is
more complex, and the transformer core saturation can cause transistor failure
if power transistors have unequal switching characteristics.
Feed forward circuits are low in cost, using only one transistor. Ripple is low
because relatively steady state current flows in the transformer whether the
transistor is ON or OFF. The flyback circuit is simple and inexpensive. In
addition, EMI problems are less. However, the transformer is larger and
ripple is higher.

Few components

For ferrite transformers, at 20 kHz, it is common practice to apply equation (4)
using a flux density (B) level of ±2 kG maximum. This is illustrated by the
shaded area of the Hysteresis Loop in Figure 2B. This B level is chosen because
the limiting factor in selecting a core at this frequency is core loss. At 20 kHz, if
the transformer is designed for a flux density close to saturation (as done for
lower frequency designs), the core will develop an excessive temperature rise.
Therefore, the lower operating flux density of 2 kG will usually limit the core
losses, thus allowing a modest temperature rise in the core.
Above 20 kHz, core losses increase. To operate the SPS at higher frequencies, it
is necessary to operate the core flux levels lower than ±2 kg. Figure 3 shows
the reduction in flux levels for MAGNETICS “P” ferrite material necessary to
maintain constant 100mW/cm3 core losses at various frequencies, with a
maximum temperature rise of 25˚C.
FIGURE 3

PUSH-PULL CIRCUIT

A typical push-pull circuit is shown in Figure 2A. The input signal is the output of an IC
network, or clock, which switches the transistors alternately ON and OFF. High frequency
square waves on the transistor output are subsequently rectified, producing dc.

FEED FORWARD CIRCUIT
FIGURE 4A – TYPICAL FEED FORWARD SPS CIRCUIT

FIGURE 2A – TYPICAL PUSH-PULL SPS CIRCUIT

FIGURE 2B – HYSTERESIS LOOP OF MAGNETIC

In the feed forward circuit shown in Figure 4A, the transformer operates in
the first quadrant of the Hysteresis Loop. (Fig 4B). Unipolar pulses applied
to the semiconductor device cause the transformer core to be driven from
its B R value toward saturation. When the pulses are reduced to zero, the
core returns to its B R value. In order to maintain a high efficiency, the
primary inductance is kept high to reduce magnetizing current and lower
wire losses. This means the core should have a zero or minimal air gap.

push-pull circuit, it was recommended that the peak flux density in the core
should not exceed B = ±2000 gauss in order to keep core losses small.
Because of the constraints of the Hysteresis Loop, the core in the feed
forward circuit should not exceed a peak value of B = ±1200 gauss.
Core selection for a feed forward circuit is similar to the push-pull circuit
except that B for Equation 4 is now limited to ±1200 gauss.
If the transformer operating temperature is above 75˚, the value of B will be further
reduced. Figure 5 shows the variation of ∆B with temperature. Therefore the
recommended ∆B value of 2400 (B= ±1200) gauss has to be reduced, the
amount depending on the final projected temperature rise of the device.
FIGURE 5

In most designs, the air gap is large; therefore, BR is small as noted on the
Hysteresis Loop in Figure 6B and can be considered zero. The maximum flux
density available is approximately 3600. This means ∆B is 3600 or B =
±1800 gauss. Core selection for this circuit can be done using Equation 4. The
B value in Equation 4 is ±1800 gauss at 20 kHz and is used until a higher
frequency (Figure 3) dictates a lower B required.
GENERAL FORMULA – CORE SELECTION FOR DIFFERENT TOPOLOGIES

The following formula has been gained from derivations in Chapter 7 of A.I.
Pressman’s book “Switching Power Supply Design” (see Reference No. 13, pg 14.4.)

The value of ∆B remains virtually unchanged over a large frequency range
above 20 kHz. However, at some frequency, the adjusted value of B, as
shown in Figure 3, will become less than the B determined by the above
temperature considerations (Figure 5). Above this frequency, the B used to
select a core will be the value obtained form Figure 3.
FLYBACK CIRCUIT

A typical schematic is shown in Figure 6A. Unipolar pulses cause dc to flow through
the core winding, moving the flux in the core from BR towards saturation (Fig. 6B).
When the pulses go to zero the flux travels back to BR as in the feed forward design.
However, the difference between the feed forward and the flyback circuit is that the
flyback requires the transformer to act as an energy storage device as well as to
perform the usual transformer functions. Therefore, to be an effective energy storage
unit, the core must not saturate and is usually a gapped structure.

TEMPERATURE CONSIDERATIONS

TRANSFORMER EQUATIONS

The power handling ability of a ferrite transformer is limited by either the saturation
of the core material or, more commonly, the temperature rise. Core material
saturation is the limiting factor when the operating frequency is below 20kHz.
Above this frequency temperature rise becomes the limitation.

Once a core is chosen, the calculation of primary and secondary turns and
wire size is readily accomplished.

Temperature rise is important for overall circuit reliability. Staying below a given
temperature insures that wire insulation is valid, that nearby active components do not
go beyond their rated temperature, and overall temperature requirements are met.
Temperature rise is also very important for the core material point of view.
As core temperature rises, core losses can rise and the maximum saturation flux
density decreases. Thermal runaway can occur causing the core to heat up to its
Curie temperature resulting in a loss of all magnetic properties and catastrophic
failure. Newer ferrite power materials, like P and R material, attempt to
mitigate this problem by being tailored to have decreasing losses to temperature of
70˚C and 100˚C respectively.
CORE LOSS—One of the two major factors effecting temperature rise is core
loss. In a transformer, core loss is a function of the voltage applied across the
primary winding. In an inductor core, it is a function of the varying current
applied through the inductor. In either case the operating flux density level, or B
level, needs to be determined to estimate the core loss. With the frequency and
B level known, core loss can be estimated from the material core loss curves. A
material loss density of 100mw/cm3 is a common operating point generating
about a 40˚C temperature rise. Operating at levels of 200 or 300 mw/cm3 can
also be achieved, although forced air or heat sinks may need to be used.
WINDING CONSIDERATIONS—Copper loss is the second major contributor
to temperature rise. Wire tables can be used as a guide to estimate an
approximate wire size but final wire size is dependent on how hot the designer
allows the wire to get. Magnet wire is commonly used and high frequency copper loss
needs to be considered. Skin effects causes current to flow primarily on the
surface of the wire. To combat this, multiple strands of magnet wire, which
have a greater surface area compared to a single heavier gauge, are used.
Stranded wire is also easier to wind particularly on toroids. Other wire alternatives,
which increase surface areas, are foil and litz wire. Foil winding allows a very
high current density. Foil should not be used in a core structure with significant
air gap since excessive eddy currents would be present in the foil. Litz wire is
very fine wire bundled together. It is similar to stranded wire except the wire is
woven to allow each strand to alternate between the outside and the inside of the
bundle over a given length.

INDUCTOR CORE SELECTION
EMI FILTERS

Switch Mode Power Supplies (SMPS) normally generate excessive high frequency
noise which can affect electronic equipment like computers, instruments and
motor controls connected to these same power lines. An EMI Noise Filter inserted
between the power line and the SMPS eliminates this type of interference
(Figure 8). A differential noise filter and a common mode noise can be in series,
or in many cases, the common mode filter is used alone.
FIGURE 8

CORE GEOMETRY—The core shape also affects temperature and those
that dissipate heat well are desirable. E core shapes dissipate heat well.
Toroids, along with power shapes like the PQ, are satisfactory. Older
telecommunication shapes, such as pot cores or RM cores, do a poor job of
dissipating heat but do offer shielding advantages. Newer shapes, such as
planar cores, offer a large flat surface ideal for attachment of a heat sink.

FIGURE 10

COMMON MODE FILTER

In a CMN filter, each winding of the inductor is connected in series with one of
the input power lines. The connections and phasing of the inductor windings are
such that flux created by one winding cancels the flux of the second winding. The
insertion impedance of the inductor to the input power line is thus zero, except
for small losses in the leakage reactance and the dc resistance of the windings.
Because of the opposing fluxes, the input current needed to power the SMPS
therefore will pass through the filter without any appreciable power loss.
Common mode noise is defined as unwanted high frequency current that
appears in one or both input power lines and returns to the noise source
through the ground of the inductor. This current sees the full impedance of either
one or both windings of the CMN inductor because it is not canceled by a return
current. Common mode noise voltages are thus attenuated in the windings of the
inductor, keeping the input power lines free from the unwanted noise.
CHOOSING THE INDUCTOR MATERIAL

Figure 11 shows total impedance vs. frequency for two different materials.
J material has a high total impedance over the range of 1 to 20MHz. It is
most widely used for common mode filter chokes. Under 1MHz, W material
has 20-50% more impedance than J. It is often used in place of J when low
frequency noise if the major problem. For filter requirements specified at
frequencies above and below 2MHz, either J or W is preferred.

A SMPS normally operates above 20kHz. Unwanted noises generated in these
supplies are at frequencies higher than 20kHz, often between 100kHz and
50MHz. The most appropriate and cost effective ferrite for the inductor is one
offering the highest impedance in the frequency band of the unwanted noise.
Identifying this material is difficult when viewing common parameters such as
permeability and loss factor. Figure 9 shows a graph of impedance Z t vs.
frequency for a ferrite toroid, J42206TC wound with 10 turns.

FIGURE 11

FIGURE 9

CORE SHAPE

The wound unit reaches its highest impedance between 1 and 10MHz.
The series inductive reactance X s and series resistance R s (functions of
the permeability and loss factor of the material) together generate the total
impedance Z t .
Figure 10 shows permeability and loss factor of the ferrite material in
Figure 9 as a function of frequency. The falling off of permeability above
750kHz causes the inductive reactance to fall. Loss factor, increasing with
frequency, cause the resistance to dominate the source of impedance at high
frequencies.
Additional detailed brochures and inductors design software for this application are available from Magnetics.

4.10

MAGNETICS

Toroids are most popular for a CMN filter as they are inexpensive and have
low leakage flux. A toroid must be wound by hand (or individually on a
toroid winding machine). Normally a non-metallic divider is placed between
the two windings, and the wound unit is epoxied to a printed circuit header
for attaching to a pc board.
An E core with its accessories is more expensive than a toroid, but assembly
into a finished unit is less costly. Winding E core bobbins is relatively inexpensive.
Bobbins with dividers for separating the two windings are available for pc
board mounting.
E cores have more leakage inductance, useful for differential filtering in a
common mode filter. E cores can be gapped to increase the leakage inductance,
providing a unit that will absorb both the common mode and differential
unwanted noise.

FIG. 13: CORE SELECTION AT 400 amps/cm2

CORE SELECTION

The following is a design procedure for a toroidal, single-layer common mode inductor,
see Figure 12. To minimize winding capacitance and prevent core saturation due to
asymmetrical windings, a single layer design is often used. This procedure assumes a minimum of thirty degrees of free spacing between the two opposing windings.
The basic parameters needed for common mode inductor design are current (I), impedance
(Zs), and frequency (f). The current determines the wire size. A conservative current density of
400 amps/cm2 does not significantly heat up the wire. A more aggressive 800 amps/cm2
may cause the wire to run hot. Selection graphs for both levels are presented.
The impedance of the inductor is normally specified as a minimum at a given frequency.
This frequency is usually low enough to allow the assumption that the inductive reactance,
Xs, provides the impedance, see Figure 9. Subsequently, the inductance, Ls can be
calculated from:
Ls = Xs
2πf

(1)

With the inductance and current known, Figures 13 and 14 can be used to select a core
size based on the LI product, where L is the inductance in mH and I is the current in
amps. The wire size (AWG) is then calculated using the following equation based on
the current density (Cd) of 400 or 800 amps/cm2:

( )

AWG = -4.31x In

1.889I
Cd

(2)

The number of turns is determined from the core’s A L value as follows:
1
L x 10 6 /2
N= S
(3)
AL

(

FIG. 14: CORE SELECTION AT 800 amps/cm2

)

DESIGN EXAMPLE

An impedance of 100Ω is required at 10kHz with a current of 3 amps. Calculating the
inductance from equation 1, Ls = 1.59 mH.
With an LI product of 4.77 at 800 amps/cm2, Figure 14 yields the core size for
chosen material. In this example, W material is selected to give high impedance up to
1MHz, see Figure 11. Figure 14 yields the core W41809TC. Page 13.6 lists the core
sizes and A L values. Using an AL of 12,200 mH/1,000 turns, equation 3 yields
N = 12 turns per side. Using 800 amps/cm2, equation 2 yields AWG = 21.

HALL EFFECT DEVICES

Edwin H. Hall observed the “Hall Effect” phenomenon at John Hopkins University
in 1897. He monitored the current flowing from top to bottom in a thin
rectangular strip of gold foil by measuring the voltages at the geometric center
of the left edge and the right edge of the strip. When no magnetic field was
present, the voltages were identical. When a magnetic field was present
perpendicular to the strip, there was a small voltage difference of a predictable
polarity and magnitude. The creation of the transverse electric field, which is
perpendicular to both the magnetic field and the current flow, is called the Hall
Effect or Hall Voltage.
In metals the effect is small, but in semiconductors, considerable Hall voltages can be
developed. Designers should consider using Hall sensors in many applications where
mechanical or optical sensors have traditionally been used. To monitor ac or dc current
flow in a wire, the wire is wrapped around a slotted ferromagnetic core, creating an
electromagnet. The strength of the resulting magnetic field is used by the Hall sensor,
inserted in the air gap, to measure the magnitude and direction of current flowing in
the wire.
CORE SELECTION

In all cases, the effective permeability of a gapped core will be a function of the size
of the air gap and the initial permeability of the core material. Once the gap becomes
greater than a few thousandths of an inch, the effective permeability is determined
essentially by the air gap.
ANALYTICAL METHOD

1. Determine the flux operating extremes based on either the ∆V/∆B of the circuit
(volts/gauss), or the maximum flux sensitivity (gauss) of the sensor (as provided
by the sensor data sheet).
2. Choose a core based on the maximum or minimum dimension requirements to
allow windings, and based on the core cross-section dimensions. The cross-section
dimensions should be at least twice the gap length to ensure a relatively
homogeneous flux distribution bridging the gap.
3. Calculate the maximum required µ e for the core:

where l g =gap length (inches)
l e = path length (cm)

µ i = initial permeability

5. If the minimum required gap is greater than the sensor thickness,
ensure that the cross-section dimensions (length and width) are at least
twice the gap length. If not, choose a larger core and recalculate the
new gap length.
GRAPHICAL METHOD

1. Calculate NI/B (amp turns per gauss), knowing the flux operating extremes of
∆V/∆B or the maximum B sensitivity of the sensor.
2. Using Figure 15, follow the NI/B value from the vertical axis to the diagonal line
to choose a ferrite core size. Drop down from the diagonal line to the horizontal
axis to determine the gap length. The core sizes indicated on the selector chart take
into account gap length versus cross-section dimensions in order to maintain an
even flux distribution across the gap under maximum current.
TOROID GAPPING

Ferrite cores are a ferromagnetic ceramic material. As such, they exhibit
a very high hardness characteristic, they are very brittle, and they do not conduct heat very
efficiently. Machining a slot into one side of a ferrite toroid can be a difficult process.
Special techniques must be used to prevent chipping, cracking, or breaking of the cores.
Diamond bonded-tool machining is the preferred method of cutting ferrite. The bonded
diamond particle size should be approximately 100 to 170 mesh (150 to 90 µm). The
peripheral speed of the cutting wheel should be 5,000 to 6,000 feet/minute (1,500
to 1,800 meters/minute). The depth of the cut may be as deep as 1” (25 mm), but
in order to minimize residual stress, the cut should be limited to a maximum of 0.250”
(6 mm) per pass, the smaller the better. During all cutting, the wheel and core should
be flooded with ample amounts of coolant water to provide a lubricant as well as
remove heat buildup that would cause thermal stress cracking of the core.

INDUCTOR DESIGN
INDUCTOR CORE SIZE SELECTION (USING CORE
SELECTOR CHARTS) DESCRIPTION

A typical regulator circuit consists of three parts: transistor switch, diode
clamp, and an LC filter. An unregulated dc voltage is applied to the transistor
switch which usually operates at a frequency of 1 to 50 kilohertz. When the
switch is ON, the input voltage, Ein, is applied to the LC filter, thus causing current
through the inductor to increase; excess energy is stored in the inductor and capacitor
to maintain output power during the OFF time of the switch. Regulation is obtained
by adjusting the ON time, ton, of the transistor switch, using a feedback system
from the output. The result is regulated dc output, expressed as:
E out = E in t on f

(1)

COMPONENT SELECTION

The switching system consists of a transistor and a feedback from the
output of the regulator. Transistor selection involves two factors – (1) voltage
ratings should be greater than the maximum input voltage, and (2) the
frequency cut-off characteristics must be high compared to the actual switching
frequency to insure efficient operation. The feedback circuits usually include
operational amplifiers and comparators. Requirements for the diode clamp
are identical to those of the transistor. The design of the LC filter stage is
easily achieved. Given (1) maximum and minimum input voltage, (2)
required output, (3) maximum allowable ripple voltage, (4) maximum and
minimum load currents, and (5) the desired switching frequency, the values
for the inductance and capacitance can be obtained. First, off-time (toff) of the
transistor is calculated.
t off = (1 - E out /E in max) /f
When E in decreases to its minimum value,

(2)

f min = (1 - E out /E in min) /t off
(3)
With these values, the required L and C can be calculated.
Allowing the peak to peak ripple current (∆i) through the inductor to be given by
∆i = 2 l o min
the inductance is calculated using
L = E out t off / ∆i

(4)

(5)

Ferrite E cores and pot cores offer the advantages of decreased cost and low core
losses at high frequencies. For switching regulators, F or P materials are recommended
because of their temperature and dc bias characteristics. By adding air gaps to these
ferrite shapes, the cores can be used efficiently while avoiding saturation.
These core selection procedures simplify the design of inductors for switching
regulator applications. One can determine the smallest core size, assuming a winding
factor of 50% and wire current carrying capacity of 500 circular mils per ampere.
Only two parameters of the two design applications must be known:
(a) Inductance required with dc bias
(b) dc current
1. Compute the product of LI 2 where:
L= inductance required with dc bias (millihenries)
I= maximum dc output current - I o max + ∆ i
2. Locate the LI 2 value on the Ferrite Core Selector charts on pgs
4.15–4.18. Follow this coordinate in the intersection with the first core
size curve. Read the maximum nominal inductance, A L , on the Y-axis.
This represents the smallest core size and maximum A L at which
saturation will be avoided.
3. Any core size line that intersects the LI 2 coordinate represents a workable
core for the inductor of the core’s A L value is less than the maximum
value obtained on the chart.

EXAMPLE

Choose a core for a switching regulator with the following requirements:
Eo
=5 volts
∆e o =0.50 volts
I o max =6 amps
I o min =1 amp
E in min =25 volts
E in max =35 volts
f
=20 KHz
1. Calculate the off-time and minimum switching, f min , of the transistor
switch using equations 2 and 3.
t off = (1 – 5/35)/20,000 = 4.3 x 10 -5 seconds and
f min = (1 – 5/25)/4.3 x 10 -5 seconds = 18,700 Hz.
2. Let the maximum ripple current, ∆i, through the inductor be
∆i = 2(1) = 2 amperes by equation 4.
3. Calculate L using equation 5.
L = 5(4.3 x 10 -5 )/2 = 0.107 millihenries
4. Calculate C and ESR max using equations 6 and 7.
C = 2/8 (18,700) (0.50) = 26.7 µ farads
and ESR max = 0.50/2 = .25 ohms
5. The product of LI 2 = (0.107) (8) 2 = 6.9 millijoules
6. Due to the many shapes available in ferrites, there can be several choices
for the selection. Any core size that the LI 2 coordinate intersects can be
used if the maximum A L is not exceeded.
Following the LI 2 coordinate, the choices are:
(a) 45224 EC 52 core,
A L315
(b) 44229 solid center post core,

(c) 43622 pot core,

MAGNETICS

The information contained in this section is primarily concerned with the design of linear inductors
for high frequency LC tuned circuits using ferrite pot cores. Magnetics has arranged the data in this
section for ease in (1) determining the optimum core for these LC circuits and (2) ordering the
items necessary for any particular Pot Core assembly.
Featured are magnetic data, temperature characteristics, core dimensions, accessories, and other
important design criteria. Standard Q curves are available on special request, contact Magnetics
Application Engineering.

Section 5

Pot Cores
Low Level
Applications

The data presented in this section are compiled mainly for selecting cores for high Q resonant LC
circuits. However, much of this information can also be used to design pot cores into many other
applications, including high frequency transformers, chokes, and other magnetic circuit elements.
POT CORE ASSEMBLY

A ferrite pot core assembly includes the following items:
1. TWO MATCHED POT CORE HALVES
2. BOBBIN ON WHICH THE COILS ARE WOUND
3. TUNING ASSEMBLY
4. A CLAMP FOR HOLDING THE CORE HALVES TOGETHER
The pot core shape provides a convenient means of adjusting the ferrite structure to meet the specific requirements of the inductor. Both high circuit Q and good temperature stability of inductance
can be obtained with these cores. The self-shielded pot core isolates the winding from stray magnetic fields or effects from other surrounding circuit elements.
The effective permeability (µ e ) is adjusted by grinding a small air gap in the center post of the pot
core. For transformers and some inductors, no ground air gap is introduced, and the effective permeability is maximized. The effective permeability of the pot core will always be less than the
material initial permeability (µ i ) because of the small air gap at the mating surfaces of the pot
core halves. For other inductors where stability of inductance, Q, and temperature coefficient must
be closely specified, a controlled air gap is carefully ground into the center post of one or both of
the pot core halves. When fitted together, the total air gap then will determine the effective permeability and control the magnetic characteristics of the pot core. Finer adjustment of the effective permeability (gapped pot core inductance) can be accomplished by moving a ferrite cylinder
or rod into the air gap through a hole in the center post.
Magnetics ferrites are available in various initial permeabilities (µ i ) which for filter applications
cover frequency ranges into the megahertz region. Magnetics produces a wide variety of pot core
sizes which include fourteen (14) international standard sizes*. These range from 5 x 6 mm to
45 x 29 mm, these dimensions representing OD and height of a pair. Each pot core half is tested
and matched with another half to produce a core with an inductance tolerance of ± 3% for most
centerpost ground parts.

Advantages of
Pot Core Assemblies
ADVANTAGES OF POT CORE ASSEMBLIES

SPECIAL ADVANTAGES OF MAGNETICS POT CORE ASSEMBLIES

• SELF-SHIELDING
Because the wound coil is enclosed within the ferrite core, self-shielding
prevents stray magnetic fields from entering or leaving the structure.

• UNIQUE ONE PIECE CLAMP
Provides simple assembly of the two core halves. Easy bending action
allows insertion of the core assembly into the clamp, and spring tension
holds the assembly rigidly and permanently in place. Rivet, screw, or circuit board tab mounting is available.

• COMPACTNESS
Self-shielding permits more compact arrangement of circuit components,
especially on printed circuit boards.
• MECHANICAL CONVENIENCE
Ferrite pot cores are easy to assemble, mount, and wire to the circuit.
• LOW COST
As compared to other core materials, ferrites are easier to make in
unusual configurations (such as pot cores), resulting in a lower cost
component. In addition, winding a pot core is usually quick and inexpensive because coils can be pre-wound on bobbins. When other costs of
assembly, mounting, wiring, and adjustment are added, the total cost is
often less than with other core materials or shapes.
• ADJUSTABILITY
Final adjustment is accomplished by moving a threaded core in and out
of the centerpost, and adjustment in the field is relatively easy as compared to any other type of construction.
• IMPROVED TEMPERATURE STABILITY AND Q
Air gaps inserted between the mating surfaces of the centerposts provide
good temperature stability and high Q.
• WIDE CORE SELECTION
Many combinations of materials, physical sizes, and inductances offer
the design engineer a large number of choices in core selection.
• LOW LOSSES AND LOW DISTORTION
Since ferrites have high resistivities, eddy current losses are extremely
low over the applicable frequency range and can be neglected.
Hysteresis losses can be kept low with proper selection of material, core
size, and excitation level.

5.2

MAGNETICS

• CHOICE OF LINEAR OR FLAT TEMPERATURE CHARACTERISTICS
Provides a close match to corresponding capacitors.
• CONSISTENCY AND UNIFORMITY
Modern equipment with closely controlled manufacturing processes produce ferrite pot cores that are magnetically uniform, not only within one
lot but from lot to lot.

The selection of a pot core for use in LC resonant circuits and high frequency inductors requires a careful analysis of the design, including the following:
• OPERATING FREQUENCY.
• INDUCTANCE OF THE WOUND POT CORE ASSEMBLY.
• TEMPERATURE COEFFICIENT OF THE INDUCTOR.
• Q OF THE INDUCTOR OVER THE FREQUENCY RANGE.
• DIMENSIONAL LIMITATIONS OF THE COIL ASSEMBLY.
• MAXIMUM CURRENT FLOWING THROUGH THE COIL.
• LONG TERM STABILITY.
The important characteristics which strongly influence the above requirements are:
1
1. Relative loss factor - µ i Q. This factor reflects the relative losses in
the core and varies with different ferrite materials and changes in operating frequency. When selecting the proper material, it is best to choose the
1
one giving the lowest
over the range of operating frequencies. In this
µiQ
1
way, the highest circuit Q can be expected. In a situation where the µ Q
i
curves may cross over or coincide at various frequencies, each ferrite material should be considered in view of all circuit parameters of importance,
including size, temperature coefficient, and disaccommodation, as well as
Q. With this analysis, little doubt is left concerning the optimum selection
of a proper core material.
2. Inductance factor (A L ). The selection of this parameter is based on a logarithmic progressive series of values obtained by dividing a logarithmic
decade into 5 equal parts (International Standardization Organization R5
series of preferred numbers). Since the (A L ) values for the various core
sizes are standard, they may be graphed or charted for ease of determining the required turns (N) to give the value of inductance needed. Pot
cores with various (A L ) values are obtained by grinding closely-controlled air gaps in the centerposts of the cores. Small gaps are processed
by gapping one core half. For larger gaps, both halves are gapped.
3. Temperature Coefficient (TC e ). The temperature coefficient of the pot
core is important in LC tuned circuits and filters when attempting to stabilize the resonant frequency over a wide range of temperatures. This temperature coefficient (TC e ) is determined by the properties of the ferrite
material and the amount of air gap introduced. Ferrite materials have been
designed to produce gapped pot core temperature coefficients that balance
the opposite temperature characteristics of polystyrene capacitors, or match
similar flat temperature coefficients of silvered mica capacitors. Therefore,
careful selection of both capacitors and pot cores with regard to temperature coefficient will insure the optimum temperature stability.

4. Quality Factor (Q)*. The quality factor is a measure of the effects of the
various losses on circuit performance. From the designer’s point of view,
these losses should include core losses, copper losses, and winding capacitive losses. Therefore, Q will be affected greatly by the number and placement of the turns on the bobbin, and the type and size of wire used. At
higher frequencies, litz wire would reduce the eddy current losses in the
windings and produce a higher Q than solid wire. Q data include the effects
of winding and capacitive losses, which, if removed, would produce significantly higher calculated Q values. Consequently, the Q curves represent
more realistically the actual Q values that would be obtained from circuit
designs.
5. Dimensional Limitations. Many circuit designs contain dimensional and
weight limitations which restrict the size of the inductor and the mounting
techniques used. Sometimes, minimum weight or volume is sacrificed to
obtain better circuit performance.
6. Current Carrying Capacity. Inductive circuits containing ferrite pot cores
are normally operated at extremely low levels of AC excitation to insure the
best possible performance. However, the current flowing in the coil may be
much higher than anticipated due to superimposed DC currents, or unexpected surges of AC. Therefore, the selection of the wire size used in an
inductor design is influenced by both of these factors. Wire data is presented in this catalog as a guide in considering these operating conditions.
- Refer to Tables 5 and 6, page 5.10.

Pot Core Design

Important Considerations

7. Long Term Stability (DF e ). In critical inductive designs, especially resonant circuits, the designer must be concerned with long term drift in resonant frequency. This stability drift (or decrease in inductance), known as
disaccommodation, can be calculated for each pot core size and inductance
factor (A L ). It occurs at a logarithmic rate, and the long term change of
inductance may be calculated from the formula: ∆L = DFe x log t 2
L
t1
∆L
where L is the decrease in inductance between the times t 1 and t 2 , DF e
is the Effective Disaccommodation Coefficient of the core selected, and t 1 is
the elapsed time between manufacture of the core (stamped on shipping
container) and its assembly into the circuit, while t 2 is the time from manufacture of the core to the end of the expected life of the device.
Disaccommodation starts immediately after the core is manufactured as it
cools through its Curie Temperature. At any later time as the core is demagnetized, or thermally or mechanically shocked, the inductance may increase
to its original value and disaccommodation begins again. Therefore, consideration must be given to increases in inductance due to magnetic, thermal or physical shock, as well as decreases in inductance due to time. If no
extreme conditioning is expected during the equipment life, changes in
inductance will be small, because most of the change occurs during the first
few months after manufacture of the core.

Assembly Notes
Magnetics ferrite pot cores can be assembled with or without clamping
hardware or tuning devices.
Mounting clamps are available for the 40905, 41107, 41408, 41811,
42213, 42616, 43019, 43622, and 44229 pot core sizes. These clamps
normally eliminate the need to cement the pot core halves together. The
mating surfaces of the pot core must be cleaned to remove moisture,
grease, dust, or other foreign particles, before clamping or cementing.
If the cementing method is chosen, a small amount of cement is placed on
the mating surface of the pot core skirt, being careful to keep the centerpost free of all cement. The pot core halves are brought together and rotated together under slight pressure to distribute the cement evenly around
the skirt. The halves are separated and the wound bobbin is set in place. A
small amount of cement is now placed on the exposed flange of the bobbin to bond it in the pot core assembly and thus insure no movement. The
other core half is replaced, the centerpost holes and wire aperture aligned,
and the unit clamped together in a pressure jig. Permanent bonding is
accomplished by curing the cement at elevated temperatures according to
the manufacturer’s recommendations. After curing, storage for a minimum
of 24 hours, and heat cycling between room temperature and 70°C may be
required before final testing or tuning is completed.
The tuning adjusters can be inserted into the pot core immediately after the
cemented core halves have been cured and the assembly can then be heat
cycled. Some adjusters require insertion of the base into the centerpost
hole prior to assembly of the pot core into the clamp when a clamp is used
for mounting pg 5.8. The adjuster is usually made in two parts - the plastic base with a threaded hole, and a ferrite cylinder imbedded in a plastic
screw. The base is pressed into the centerpost of the pot core, and the plastic screw is turned into the base until the ferrite cylinder enters the air gap.
Tuning is completed when the inductance of the pot core assembly reaches
the proper value. If this initial adjustment is expected to be the final one,
cementing is recommended to prevent accidental detuning. If precise inductance values are expected, final tuning should not be completed earlier
than 24 hours after the pot core assembly has been cured or clamped.
“TB-P” bases, which are polypropylene, may be etched in order to roughen
the adhering surface and improve the bonding that is achieved.
Plastic screw drivers are available upon request for use in final tuning.
Tuning assemblies are available for most standard size pot cores. Contact

PRINTED CIRCUIT BOBBINS AND MOUNTING HARDWARE

Many sizes in the standard pot cores can be supplied with printed circuit

they will also fit printed circuit boards with 2.50 mm grids. The pin
length is sufficient for a board thickness up to .187”. Terminal pin details
are illustrated in Figure 2. The board holes should be .046” + .003” in

core half.
For some core types, printed circuit board mounting clamps are also available. A cross section of a completed core assembly using clamps is shown
in Figure 3. When clamps are not available, the pot core halves must be
cemented together.
Printed circuit board hardware for EP, RM and RS cores is described in the
sections covering these core types.
FIGURE 2
PRINTED CIRCUIT BOBBINS SOLDERING INSTRUCTIONS

1. A solder pot should be used to solder the leads to the terminals.
Preferred solder is 63/37 tin/lead eutectic. The solder temperature
should be between 275°-300°C. Lower or higher temperatures will
both damage the bobbin. Modern soldering techniques commonly use
temperatures in excess of the softening points of all thermoplastic bobbin materials. Extreme care is required to prevent loosening of the terminals during soldering.

Pot Core Design

Assembly Notes

2. Insulation should be removed from the ends of the wire before soldering. This is especially important when litz wire is used. The preferred
method is by burning.
3. Dip wound terminals into liquid soldering flux. A rosin based flux in alcohol solution should be used. Allow flux to air dry.
FIGURE 3

4. The bobbin should be immersed only far enough to cover the terminals.
5. The part should be immersed in the solder for 2-4 seconds, depending
on the size of the wire used.

POT CORES

The pot core shape is a convenient means of adjusting the ferrite structure to meet the specific
requirements of an application. Both high circuit Q and good temperature stability of inductance
can be obtained with these cores. Pot cores, when assembled, nearly surround the wound bobbin.
This self-shielded geometry isolates the winding from stray magnetic fields or effects from other
surrounding circuit elements.

Section 6

Pot Cores

Both plain and printed circuit bobbins are available, as are mounting and assembly hardware.
Typical applications for pot cores include; differential inductors, power transformers, power
inductors, converter and inverter transformers, filters, both broadband and narrow transformers
and telecom inductors.
Magnetics produces a wide variety of sizes, which include fourteen (14) international standard
sizes. Standard pot cores are ungapped, but any practical gap is also available (see page1.8-1.11)

RS/DS CORES

Slab cores are modified pot cores with the sides removed. The slabs can be paired with one round
half of a standard pot core (RS combination) or two slabs can be paired together for a double slab
(DS combination).
Available in seven sizes, the RS geometry offers all the advantages of pot cores for filter
applications, plus many additional features for power applications.

Section 7

RS/DS
Cores

DS cores, available in six sizes, accommodate large size wire and assist in removing heat from the
assembly.
Both plain and printed circuit bobbins are available for both types of cores.
Typical applications for RS/DS combinations include; low and medium power transformers,
switched-mode power supplies, and converter and inverter transformers.

RM CORES

RM Cores are square-designed cores that offer all the magnetic and mechanical advantages of pot
cores, plus the added feature of maximizing magnetic performance while minimizing PC board
space.
Easy to assemble and adaptable to automation, completed units provide at least 40% savings in
mounting area compared to a similar size pot core assembly.

Section 8

RM Cores

RM cores are available in seven standard sizes. Three of the sizes are also available as low profile
cores.
Printed circuit bobbins or plain bobbins are available.
Typical applications include differential inductors, power inductors, filter inductors, telecom
inductors and broadband transformers.

EP CORES

EP cores are round center-post cubical shapes which enclose the coil completely except for the
printed circuit board terminals. This particular shape minimizes the effect of air gaps formed at
mating surfaces in the magnetic path and provides a larger volume ratio to total space used.
EP cores provide excellent shielding.
Typical applications for EP cores include differential and telecom inductors and power transformers.

MAGNETICS

PQ CORES

PQ cores are designed specifically for switched mode power supplies. This design provides an
optimized ratio of volume to winding area and surface area. As a result, both maximum inductance
and winding area are possible with a minimum core size. The cores provide maximum power output
with minimum assembled transformer weight and volume, in addition to taking up a minimum
amount of area on the printed circuit board.
Assembly with printed circuit bobbins and one piece clamps is simplified. This efficient design
provides a more uniform cross-sectional area; thus cores tend to operate with fewer hot spots than
with other designs.

Typical applications include power transformers and power inductors.

E, I, U CORES

E cores are less expensive than pot cores, and have the advantage of simple bobbin winding plus easy assembly.
E cores do not, however, offer self-shielding. Lamination size E cores are available to fit commercially offered
bobbins previously designed to fit the strip stampings of standard lamination sizes. Metric and DIN sizes are also
available. E cores can be pressed to different thicknesses, providing a selection of cross-sectional areas. Bobbins
for these different cross sections are often available commercially.
E cores can be mounted in different directions and, if desired, provide a low profile. Printed circuit bobbins are
available for low profile mounting. Typical applications for E cores include differential, power and telecom
inductors, as well as, broadband, power, converter and inverter transformers.

Section 11

E, I, U Cores

U cores, which offer a larger window/cross-sectional area, provide more power handling capability than E cores
of the same size. Typical applications are similar to E cores.

EC,ETD,EER
and ER Cores
EC, ETD, EER AND ER CORES

EC, ETD and EER cores are a cross between E cores and pot cores. Like E cores they provide a wide opening on
each side. This gives adequate space for the large size wire required for low output voltage switched mode power
supplies. It also allows for a flow of air which keeps the assembly cooler.
The center posts of these cores are round, like that of the pot core. One of the advantages of the round center post
is that the winding has a shorter path length (11% shorter) than the wire around a square center post with an equal
area. This reduces the losses of the windings by 11% and enables the core to handle a higher output power. The
round center post also eliminates the sharp bend in the wire that occurs with winding on a square center post. The
most common application is switched mode power supplies.

TOROIDS

Ferrite toroids offer high magnetic efficiency as there is no air gap, and the cross sectional area is uniform.
Available in many sizes (O.D.s from 0.100" to 3.375") and materials (permeabilities ranging from 750 to
15,000), this section lists common sizes. For additional sizes contact Magnetics Sales.
Typical applications for high permeability toroids (J, W, and H materials) include common mode chokes,
broadband transformers, pulse transformers and current transformers. R, P and F material toroids are excellent
choices for high frequency transformers. Special sizes in J material are available for Ground Fault Interrupter
applications.

13.1

Toroids

COATINGS

In order to increase winding ease and improve voltage breakdown, toroids are available
coated. There are three categories of coatings available; Parylene, Nylon and Polyester/Epoxy.
Parylene C® is a vacuum-deposited material which has a uniform coating (including
edges) with a thickness of .0005" to .002", a smooth winding surface, and good
moisture resistance to organic solvents and acid bases. The electrical characteristics
are superior to other coatings. To specify Parylene use "Y" as the coating code when ordering.
Parylene C® is available for cores with O.D.s up to .500". The continuous maximum
rating is 130° C. Note that minimum inductance is 5% lower than listed for Parylene
coated cores.

Nylon coating (V designation) provides good adhesion, a smooth winding surface and
excellent resistance to moisture and organic solvents. Typically, Nylon coating is .004”
to .008” thick.
Available in the 12.7 mm to 29 mm size range, Nylon is a good finish for continuous
operation from -65° C to +155° C. Nylon coating offers a minimum voltage breakdown
of 1000 volts (wire to wire).
Polyester/Epoxy coating (Z designation) meets the same general visual requirements,
standard dimensional and voltage breakdown guarantees as Nylon. Polyester/Epoxy
is rated to 200° C continuous operation. Coating thickness with Polyester/Epoxy is
typically less than with Nylon, although the guaranteed limits are the same.
The size range for Polyester/Epoxy is from 9.5 mm to 86 mm.

Parylene C® offers a minimum voltage breakdown of 600 volts wire to wire.
NOTE: H material (15,000µ) is not available in Nylon coating.

13.2

MAGNETICS

HIGH VOLTAGE

COLOR CODING

Voltage breakdown, higher than the standard guarantees, can be provided.
Dimensional tolerances are relaxed to allow for the added coating. Contact Magnetics
Application Engineering for specifications.

Toroids (as well as other cores) can be marked with a color code to help differentiate
different materials. When ordering add "CC" as the special specification code.

Effective Permeability—If a magnetic circuit is not homogeneous (i.e., contains an air gap), the effective permeability is
the permeability of a hypothetical homogeneous (ungapped) structure of the same shape, dimensions, and reluctance, that
would give the inductance equivalent to the gapped structure.

Inductance factor—In a wound core, the inductance per unit turn when L is in henries. More often, when L is expressed
in millihenries, AL is the inductance as measured using a thousand turn coil. When calculating for other turns, use:
L (mH) = ALn2/1,0002.

Temperature Coefficient—The relative change in permeability per ˚C when measured at two different temperatures.
TC = µ2 – µ1

POWDER CORES

Powder cores are excellent as low loss inductors for switched-mode power
supplies, switching regulators and noise filters. Most core types can be
shipped immediately from stock.
Molypermalloy powder cores (MPP) are available in ten permeabilities
ranging from 14 through 550, and have guaranteed inductance limits of
±8%. Insulation on the cores is a high dielectric strength finish not affected by normal potting compounds and waxes. Thirty sizes include I.D.s
from 0.070” (1.78 mm) to 1.938” (49.2 mm) and O.D.s from 0.140”
(3.56 mm) to 3.063” (77.8 mm). Standard cores include either temperature stabilized (as wide as -65° C at 125° C for stable operation) or
standard stabilization.
High Flux powder cores have a much higher energy storage capacity than
MPP cores and are available in six permeabilities from 26µ through 160µ.
High Flux cores a re available in sizes identical to MPP cores.
Kool Mµ® powder cores have a higher energy storage capacity than MPP
cores and are available in five permeabilities from 26µ through 125µ.
Kool Mµ toroids are available in sizes identical to MPP cores, and this
material is also available in a number of E-core sizes. Permeability for
Kool Mµ E-cores is from 26 to 90 and sizes are tooled ranging from the
EF 12.6 to the Metric E80 size.
MPP THINZ® are extremely low height (<1 mm) self-shielded power
inductor cores, allowing finished inductor heights in the 1.5 mm to 2mm
range. THINZ come in 5 sizes with O.D.s ranging from 0.120” through
0.310” and four permeabilities: 125µ, 160µ, 200µ and 250µ.

Miniature Tape Wound Bobbin Cores are manufactured from Permalloy 80
and Orthonol ultra-thin tape (0.000125” to 0.001” thick). They are
available in widths from 0.031” to 0.250” (wider on special request).
Wound on non-magnetic stainless steel bobbins, core diameters are available down to 0.050”, with flux capacities as low as several maxwells.
Magnetics’ sophisticated pulse test equipment reproduces most test programs and can measure accurately in the millivolt-microsecond region.
Applications include: magnetometers, flux gates, oscillators, inverters and
magnetic amplifiers.

STRIP WOUND CORES

Tape wound cores are made from high permeability alloys of nickel-iron,
grain oriented silicon-iron. The alloys are known as Orthonol®, Alloy 48,
Square Permalloy 80, Supermalloy and Magnesil® . Cores are available
in more than 50 standard sizes. For a wide range of frequency applications, materials are produced in thicknesses from 1/2 mil(0.013 mm)
through 14 mils (0.356 mm). Cases are robust nylon boxes, rated for
200° C continuous operation and 2000 voltage minimum breakdown.
Applications include: magnetic amplifiers, reactors, regulators, static magnetic devices and current transformers.
