been determined principally on the basis of ring cores.
The purpose of such characteristic material data is to provide the user with improved means for
comparing different materials.
There is no direct relationship between characteristic material data and the data measured using
other core shapes and/or core sizes made of the same material. In the absence of further
agreements with the manufacturer, only those specifications given for the core shape and/or core

DC magnetic bias

H_ = DC field strength [A/m]

I_ ⋅ N
H- = ------------ I _ = Direct current [A]
le -
N = Number of turns
le = Effective magnetic path length [m]

Explanation of the graphs

The curves of µrev = f( H_) allow an approximate calculation of the variation in reversible permeability
(µrev) and AL value caused by magnetic bias. These curves are of particular interest for cores for
transformers and chokes, since magnetic bias should be avoided if possible with inductors requiring
high stability (filter inductors etc.). In the case of geometrically similar cores (i.e. in particular the
same Amin/ Ae ratio) the effective permeability of the core in question in conjunction with the given
curves suffices to determine the reversible permeability to a close approximation.
For determining the variations of reversible permeability with magnetic bias DC field strength H_,
the effective permeability µe for the desired AL value is taken from the data sheets for the individual
cores. If the curve µrev = f(H_) for the actual effective permeability is not shown, this can be obtained
by interpolation from the two curves shown. The associated DC field strength H_ can be calculated
from the above equation with the effective magnetic path length le similarly obtained from the
individual data sheets.

The decrease in permeability caused by magnetic bias begins at a DC field strength of about
300 A/m (P 26 × 16) or about 1000 A/m (E 42/15).
This corresponds to an ampere-turns value of

(Small-signal applications)
The maximum value of the inductance Lrev (inductance corresponding to the reversible
permeability) or the minimum value of the DC resistance RCu which can be obtained at a defined
magnetic bias current I can be determined from the following diagram for P cores made of
SIFERRIT N48 and N26.
Example: At I = 0,1 A, Lre v shall be > 10 mH and RC u < 1 Ω.
Required: The smallest possible P core
Solution: All core sizes contained in a rectangle limited at the bottom by the horizontal I 2 . Lrev
= 0,1 A2 mH and at the right by the vertical I 2 . RCu = 0,01 W are possibilities.
Accordingly, the smallest possible core size is 22 mm diameter x 13 mm with

1 Hysteresis

General
The special feature of ferromagnetic and ferrimagnetic materials is that spontaneous magnetization
sets in below a material-specific temperature (Curie point). The elementary atomic magnets are
then aligned in parallel within macroscopic regions. These so-called Weiss’ domains are normally
oriented so that no magnetic effect is perceptible. But it is different when a ferromagnetic body is

●
placed in a magnetic field and the flux density B as a function of the magnetic field strength H is

Definitions
measured with the aid of a test coil. Proceeding from H and B = 0, the so-called initial magnetization
curve is first obtained. At low levels of field strength, those domains that are favorably oriented to
the magnetic field grow at the expense of those that are not. This produces what are called wall
displacements. At higher field strength, whole domains overturn magnetically - this is the steepest
part of the curve - and finally the magnetic moments are moved out of the preferred states given by
the crystal lattice into the direction of the field until saturation is obtained, i.e. until all elementary
magnets in the material are in the direction of the field. If H is now reduced again, the B curve is
completely different. The relationship shown in the hysteresis loop (Fig. 1) is obtained.

µ r = relative permeability
In a vacuum, µr = 1; in ferromagnetic or ferrimagnetic materials the relation B( H) becomes nonlinear
and the slope of the hysteresis loop µr » 1.

1.2 Basic parameters of the hysteresis loop

1.2.1 Initial magnetization curve

The initial magnetization curve describes the relationship B = µr µ0 H for the first magnetization
following a complete demagnetization. Joining the end points of all „subloops“ (indicated in Fig. 1)
from H = 0 to H = Hmax similarly produces the initial magnetization curve.

1.2.2 Saturation magnetization BS

The saturation magnetization BS is defined as the maximum flux density attainable in a material (i.e.
for a very high field strength); above this value BS, it is not possible to further increase B( H) by
further increasing H. Microscopically, this means that when B = BS all elementary magnets are
aligned.
Technically, BS is defined as the flux density at a field strength of H = 1200 A/m. As is confirmed in
the actual magnetization curves in the chapter on „Materials“, the B(H) characteristic above
1200 A/m remains roughly constant (applies to all ferrites with high permeability, i.e. where
µ ≥ 100).

1.2.3 Remanent flux density BR(H)

The remanent flux density (residual magnetization density) is a measure of the degree of residual
magnetization in the ferrite after traversing a hysteresis loop. If the magnetic field H is subsequently
reduced to zero, the ferrite still has a material-specific flux density BR ≠ 0 (see Fig. 1: intersection
with the ordinate H = 0).

1.2.4 Coercive field strength HC

The flux density B can be reduced to zero again by applying a specific opposing field -HC (see
Fig. 1: intersection with the abscissa B = 0).
The demagnetized state can be restored at any time by:
a) traversing the hysteresis loop at a high frequency and simultaneously reducing the field
strength H to H = 0.
b) by exceeding the Curie temperature TC .

Different relative permeabilities µ are defined on the basis of the hysteresis loop for the various
electromagnetic applications.

2.1 Initial permeability µi

1 ∆B
µ i = -----
µ 0 ⋅ ∆H
- -------- (H → 0)

The initial permeability µi defines the relative permeability at very low excitation levels and
constitutes the most important means of comparison for ferromagnetic (ferrimagnetic) materials.
According to DIN IEC 401, µi is defined using closed magnetic circuits (e.g. a closed ring-shaped
cylindrical coil) for f ≤ 10 kHz, B < 0,25 mT, T = 25 °C.

2.2 Effective permeability µe

Most core shapes in use today do not have closed magnetic paths (Only ring, double E or double-
aperture cores have closed magnetic circuits.), rather the circuit consists of regions where µi ≠ 1
(ferrite material) and µi = 1 (air gap).
For gapped cores an effective permeability µ e is defined in practice.

It should be noted, for example, that the loss factor tan δ and the temperature coefficient for gapped
cores reduce in the ratio µe/µ i compared to ungapped cores.

2.3 Apparent permeability µapp

L inductance with core
µ app = ----- = --------------------------------------------------------
L0 inductance without core

The definition of µapp is particularly important for specification of the permeability for coils with
tubular, cylindrical and threaded cores, since an unambiguous relationship between initial
permeability µ i and effective permeability µe is not possible on account of the high leakage
inductances. The design of the winding and the spatial correlation between coil and core have a
considerable influence on µapp. A precise specification of µ app requires a precise specification of
the measuring coil arrangement.

2.4 Complex permeability µ

For better comparison of ferrite materials and their frequency characteristics (in order to take into
consideration the phase displacement between voltage and current), it is useful to introduce µ as a
complex operator, i.e. a complex permeability µ, according to the following relationship:
µ = µ‘ + j . µ‘‘
where, in terms of a series equivalent circuit,
µ‘ is the relative real (inductance) component of µ
and µ‘‘ is the relative imaginary (loss) component of µ.
Using the complex permeability µ, the (complex) impedance of the coil can be calculated:
Z = j ω µ L0
where L0 represents the inductance without core at the same field distribution.

Fig. 4
Complex permeability versus frequency
(measured with R10 ring cores, N 48 material, measuring flux density B ≤ 0,25 mT)

Fig. 4 shows for N 48 material the characteristic curves of µs ‘ and µs‘‘ (real and imaginary
components of µ, expressed in the diagram of the series equivalent circuit) as a function of
frequency. Starting at low frequencies, µ s‘ is initially constant with increasing µs ‘‘ because the
friction loss resulting from the movement of the magnetic domains increases with frequency.
Depending on the material characteristics and core dimensions, resonance occurs at a certain
frequency, either gyroresonance, eddy-current resonance or dimensional resonance.
In this frequency range in which the magnetic activity is increasingly unable to follow the field, a
steep drop in µ s‘ is produced and, accordingly, there is maximum loss. This is the upper frequency
limit f max of the material. For higher frequencies the coil designer then has to move on to a material
with higher resonance frequency or smaller µ (higher resonance frequency means lower initial per-
meability µi: µi ∼ 1/ fG ).

2.5 Reversible permeability µ rev

1 ∆B
- ⋅ lim  -------- 
µ rev = ----- (Permeability with superimposed DC field H_ )
µ 0 ∆H → 0 ∆H H –

In order to measure the reversible permeability µ rev, a small measuring alternating field is
superimposed on a DC field. In this case µ rev is heavily dependent on H_, the core geometry, the
temperature and the saturation magnetization.
Important application areas for DC field-superimposed, i.e. magnetically biased, coils are
broadband transformer systems (feeding currents with signal superimposition) and power
engineering (shifting the operating point) and the area known as „nonlinear chokes“ (cf. chapter on

RM cores). For the magnetic bias curves as a function of the excitation H_ see the chapter on
„SIFERRIT materials“.

2.6 Amplitude permeability µa

B̂
µ a = ------------- (Permeability at high excitation)
µ 0 Ĥ 0
The amplitude permeability µ a is the slope of the initial magnetization curve, i.e. it is not dependent
on previous magnetic history. Since the hysteresis loop is strongly nonlinear, µa is also a function
of the applied field H.
µa ( H → 0 ) = µi

For frequencies well below resonance, µ a is not frequency-dependent but there is a strong
dependence on temperature and saturation magnetization. The amplitude permeability is an
important definition quantity for power ferrites. It is defined for specific core types by means of an
AL1 value for f ≤ 10 kHz, B = 0,320 mT (or 200 mT), T = 100 °C (see also introduction to the various
core types, e.g. page 186).

0 Magnetic core shape characteristics

Permeabilities and also other magnetic parameters are generally defined as material-specific
quantities. For a particular core shape, however, the magnetic data are influenced to a significant
extent by the geometry. Thus, the inductance of a slim-line ring air-core coil is defined as:
A
L = µ r ⋅ µ 0 ⋅ N 2 ⋅ ---l-

Due to their geometry, soft magnetic ferrite cores in the field of such a coil change the flux
parameters in such a way that it is necessary to specify a series of effective core shape parameters
in each data sheet. The following are defined:
le effective magnetic length
Ae effective magnetic cross section
Amin min. magnetic cross section of the core
(required to calculate the max. flux density)
Ve = Ae • l e effective magnetic volume
With the aid of these parameters, the calculation for ferrite cores with complicated shapes can be
reduced to the considerably more simple problem of an imaginary ring core with the same magnetic
properties. The basis for this is provided by the methods of calculation according to IEC 205, 205A
and 205B, which allow the following factors Σ l/A and AL to be calculated:

Losses in the small-signal area are specified by the loss factor tan δ.

4.3 Quality factor Q

The ratio of reactance to total resistance of an induction coil is known as the quality factor Q.

ωL reactance
Q = ------- = ------------------------------
-
RL total resistance

The total quality factor Q is the reciprocal of the total loss factor tan δ; it is dependent on the
frequency, inductance, temperature, winding wire and permeability of the core.

4.4 Optimum frequency range

The optimum frequency range is specified primarily in the case of ferrites for broadband
transformers and filters.
The curves for tan δ/µi versus f in the chapter on „SIFERRIT Materials“ provide a quick reference
for the selection of inductors with a high Q factor.

Upper frequency limit f max

The upper frequency limit is the frequency at which the loss factor curve has not yet begun to rise
too steeply. This is approximately the case when the Q factor of the ring core is about 50 or when
tan δ is about 0,02. The Q factor below the frequency limit or for gapped cores is much higher.

Lower frequency limit f min

The lower frequency limit is the frequency at which it is advisable to select the material with the next
higher permeability for reasons of the lower loss factor.

4.5 Hysteresis loss resistance Rh and hysteresis material constant ηB

In transformers, in particular, the user cannot always be content with very low saturation. The user
requires details of the losses which occur at higher saturation, e.g. where the hysteresis loop begins
to open.
Since this hysteresis loss resistance Rh can rise sharply in different flux density ranges and at
different frequencies, it is measured in accordance with IEC 401 for µi values greater than 500 at
B = 1,5 and 3 mT (∆B = 1,5 mT), a frequency of 10 kHz and a temperature of 25 °C (for µ i < 500:
f = 100 kHz). The hysteresis loss factor tan δh can then be calculated from this.

For the hysteresis material constant ηB we obtain:

The hysteresis material constant ηB characterizes the hysteresis losses; it is not dependent on the
air gap. ηB is thus a significant quantity in estimating the material-specific hysteresis losses; it is
specified in the table of material properties starting on page 34.

0 Defining quantities in the power sector

While in the small-signal sector (H ≤ Hcmax), i.e. in filter and broadband applications, the hysteresis
loop is generally traversed only in lancet form (Fig. 2), for power applications the hysteresis loop is
driven partly into saturation. The defining quantities are then
µrev reversible permeability in the case of superimposition with a DC signal
(operating point for power transformers)
µa amplitude permeability and
PV core losses.

5.1 Core losses PV

The losses of a ferrite core or core set PV is proportional to the area of the hysteresis loop in ques-
tion. It consists of three components:
PV = P V, basic + P V, hysteresis + PV , eddycurrent

Owing to the high specific resistance of ferrite materials, the eddy current losses in the frequency
range common today (1 kHz - 2 MHz) may be practically disregarded except in the case of core
shapes having a large cross-sectional area. In principle the following applies:
PV = U ⋅ I ⋅ cos ϕ

where U ( =ˆ B) is the applied voltage, I ( =ˆ H) the resulting current and ϕ the phase displacement
between them.
The power loss PV is a function of the temperature T, the frequency f , the flux density B and is of
course dependent on ferrite material and core shape.
The temperature dependence can generally be approximated by means of a third-order polynomial,
while

PV ( f ) ∼ f ( 1 + x ) 0≤x≤1

applies for the frequency dependence and

PV ( B ) ∼ B ( 2 + y ) 0≤y≤1

for the flux density dependence. The coefficients x and y are dependent on core shape and mate-
rial, and there is a mutual dependence between the coefficients of the defining quantity (e.g. T) and
the relevant parameter set (e.g. f , B).

General

A transformation program is available for EFD and ETD cores as a design tool which allows core
losses to be converted to different operating conditions (specific to core shape / material).
In the case of cores which are suitable for power applications, the total core losses PV are given
explicitly for a specific frequency f , flux density B and temperature T in the relevant data sheets.
When determining the total power loss for an inductive component, the winding losses must also be
taken into consideration in addition to the core-specific losses.
PV tot = PV core + P V winding

where, in addition to insulation conditions in the given frequency range, skin effect and proximity
effect must also be taken into consideration for the winding.

0 Influence of temperature

6.1 µ(T) curve, Curie temperature TC

The initial permeability µi as a function of T is given for all materials (see chapter on SIFERRIT
materials). Important parameters for a µ( T) curve are the position of the secondary permeability
maximum (SPM) and the Curie temperature. Minimum losses occur at the SPM temperature.
In filter applications, the change of the relative loss factor tan δ/µ i in the range 5 ... 55°C can
generally be disregarded compared to the change in copper resistance.
Above the Curie temperature TC ferrite materials lose their ferrimagnetic properties, i.e. µi drops to
µi = 1. This means that the parallel alignment of the elementary magnets (spontaneous
magnetization) is destroyed by increasing thermal activation. This phenomenon is reversible, i.e.
when the temperature is reduced below TC again, the ferrimagnetic properties are restored.

6.2 Temperature coefficient of permeability α

By definition the temperature coefficient α represents a straight line of average gradient between
the reference temperatures T1 and T2. If the µ(T) curve is approximately linear in this temperature
range, this is a good approximation; in the case of heavily pronounced maxima, as occur particularly
with highly permeable broadband ferrites, however, this is less true. The following applies:

µ i2 – µ i1 1
α = ---------
µ i1 ⋅ T 2 – T1
----------- ------------------

µi1 = initial permeability µi at T1 = 25 °C

µi2 = the initial permeability µ i associated with the temperature T2

In a magnetic circuit with an air gap and the effective permeability µe the temperature coefficient is
reduced by the factor µ e/µi (cf. also section 2.4).

6.4 Permeability factor µ i – µ i1

The first factor in the equation for determining the relative temperature coefficient ------------------ is
µi ⋅ µi 1
known as the permeability factor.
In the case of SIFERRIT materials for resonant circuits, the temperature dependence of the
permeability factor can be seen from the relevant diagram.

The effective permeability µe is required in order to calculate αe; therefore this is given for each core
in the individual data sheets.

6.6 Relationship between the change in inductance and the permeability factor
The relative change in inductance between two temperature points can be calculated as follows:

∆L α 10– 6 µi at temperature T
L- [ % ] = ----

∆L µ i – µ i1

6.7 Temperature dependence of saturation magnetization

The saturation magnetization BS drops with temperature and at TC has fallen to BS = 0 mT. The
drop for BS(25°C) and BS (100°C), i.e. the main area of application for the ferrites, can be taken from
the table of material properties.

6.8 Temperature dependence of saturation-dependent permeability

(amplitude permeability)
It can be seen from the µ a curves for the different materials that µa exhibits a more pronounced max-
imum with increasing temperature and drops off sooner on account of decreasing saturation.

0 Disaccommodation
Ferrimagnetic states of equilibrium can be influenced by mechanical, thermal or magnetic changes
(shocks). Generally, an increase in permeability occurs when a greater mobility of individual
magnetic domains is attained through the external application of energy. This state is not temporally
stable and returns logarithmically with time to the original state.

8.1 Mechanical stability

If one wishes to describe the mechanical properties or stability of a ferrite core, the best method is
to consider the general properties of ceramic bodies.
As is the case with any ceramic, the ferrite core is brittle and sensitive to any shock, bending or
tensile load. Therefore its resistance to temperature change (e.g. in an ultrasonic bath) is restricted,
as is shown by the following diagrammatic analysis of a thermal shock test.
Tensile strength

Water temperature
Fig. 7

box diagram: the respective maximum and minimum values for the tensile strength (vertical lines)
at each bath temperature can be seen, 50% of the values for the tensile strength lie within the box,
with 25% above and 25% below in each case. The horizontal line in the box gives the median.

As can be seen from the illustration, the tensile strength of the cores under test falls to about 10 to
15% of the initial maximum value in the first test cycle (60°C → 23°C → 18°C). The reason for this
behavior lies in the stresses produced in the core as a result of the high cooling rate (medium:
water). These stresses are relieved through the formation of cracks in the core material. The tensile
strength of the core is thus dramatically reduced. These events are represented in the following
relation:

σT Actual effective stress

α Coefficient of thermal expansion
E0 Modulus of elasticity
N Number of temperature changes
l Crack length

In order to quantify the brittleness of a ferrite core, a fracture mechanism quantity must first be found
which is also a material property. This quantity is the fracture toughness. It is the quantity which
indicates the order of stress magnitude in the core at which a subcritical fracture growth becomes
unstable. This relationship is represented in the following

K1 ≥ K 1C with K1 = σ lY and K 1C = GC E

K1 Stress intensity factor

K1C Fracture toughness
Y Factor for fracture/sample geometry
G C Critical fracture area energy
E E modulus
The K1C value - determined by indentation testing - can be regarded as the desired measure of the
brittleness of a material. A typical value for fracture toughness can be obtained from the table below.

Tensile strength approx. 20 N/mm2

Compressive strength approx. 100 N/mm2
Vickers hardness HV15 approx. 8000 N/mm2
Modulus of elasticity approx. 150000 N/mm2
Fracture toughness K1c approx. 0,8 ... 1,1 MPam1/2

Stresses in the core affect not only the mechanical properties but also the magnetic properties. It is
apparent that the initial permeability is dependent on the stress state of the core. With

1
µ i ∼ -----
σT
-

it can be shown that the higher the stresses are in the core, the lower is the value for the initial
permeability. Embedding the ferrite cores (e.g. in plastic) can induce these stresses. A permeability
reduction of up to 50% and more can be observed, depending on the material. In this case, the
embedding medium should have the greatest possible elasticity.

(∆L/ L ≤ 1% for ungapped cores):
gamma quanta: 109 rad
quick neutrons 2•102 0 neutrons/m2
thermal neutrons 2•102 2 neutrons/m2

8.3 Resistivity ρ, dielectric constant ε

At room temperature, ferrites have a resistivity in the range 1 Ωm to 105 Ωm; this value is usually
higher at the grain boundaries than in the grain interior. The temperature dependence of the core
resistivity corresponds to that of a semiconductor:

Ea
----------
k ⋅ T-
ρ∼e
Ea Activation energy
k Boltzmann constant
T Absolute temperature [K]
Thus the resistivity at 100°C is less than at 25°C by a factor of 5, which is significant, particularly in
power applications, for the magnitude of the eddy-current losses.
The resistivity similarly drops as frequency increases.
Example: Material N 48

f kHz 10 100 500

ρ Ωm 1,0 0,95 0.65

The different resistivity values for grain interior and grain boundary result in high (apparent)
dielectric constants ε at low frequencies. The dielectric constant ε for all ferrites falls to values
around 10 ... 20 at very high frequencies. NiZn ferrites already reach this value range at frequencies
around 100 kHz.

1 Gapped and ungapped ferrite cores

Application and Processing Notes

Even with the best grinding methods known today, a certain degree of roughness on ground
surfaces cannot be avoided, so that the usual term „without air gap“ or „ungapped“ does not imply
no air gap at all. The A L values quoted allow for a certain amount of roughness of the ground faces.
The tolerance of the A L value for ungapped cores is – 20 to + 30 % or – 30 to + 40 %. Closer
tolerances are not available for several reasons. The spread in the A L values of ungapped cores
practically equal the spread in ring core permeability, and the A L value largely depends on the
grinding quality of the matching surfaces.
The following are normally defined:
precision-ground/lapped cores sresid < 1 µm
normally ground cores sresid ∼ 10 µm
gapped cores s ≥ 0,01 mm
The residual air gap sre sid here is the total of the residual air gaps at the leg or centerpost contact
surfaces.
With increasing material permeability the influence of the inevitable residual air gap grows larger.
The spreads in the A L value may also be increased by the mode of core assembly. Effects of
mounting and gluing can result in a reduction of the A L value.

0 Cores for filter applications

2.1 Gapped cores for filter/resonant circuits

L Basic requirements:
C
● low tan δ
● close tolerance for AL value
● close tolerance for temperature coefficient
● low disaccommodation factor DF
● wide adjustment range

Gapped cores are therefore always used in high quality circuits (for materials see application
survey, page 32).
In the case of small air gaps (max. 0,15 mm for P cores or 0,22 mm for RM cores) the air gap can
be ground into only one core half. In this case the half with the ground air gap bears the stamp. The
other half is blank.
The gap reduces remanence losses and the temperature coefficient by the factor µe/µ i, and
hysteresis losses by the factor (µe/µi)2. Furthermore, closer tolerances of the A L value can be
obtained.
The rated A L values for cores with ground air gap can be obtained from the individual data sheets.
The data for the individual cores also include the effective permeability µe used to approximately
determine the effective loss factor tan δe and the temperature coefficient of the effective
permeability αe from the ring core characteristics (see table of material properties).
It should be noted at this point that in cores with a larger air gap the stray field in the immediate
vicinity of the air gap can cause additional eddy current losses in the copper winding. If the coil
quality must meet stringent requirements, it is therefore advisable to wind several layers of
polystyrene or nylon tape instead of wire in the part of the winding that is in the proximity of the air
gap; with a 3-section coil former this would be the part of the center section near the air gap.

2.2 P and RM cores with threaded sleeves

P and RM cores are supplied with a glued-in threaded sleeve. S+M Components uses automatic
machines featuring high reliability in dosing of the adhesive and in positioning the threaded sleeve
in the core.
The tight fit of the threaded sleeve is regularly checked - including a humid atmosphere of
40°C/93% r.h. (in accordance with IEC 68-2-3) over 4 days - and also by periodic tests over
3 weeks. The usual bonding strengths of 20 N for ∅ 2 mm holes (e.g. for P 11×7, RM 5) and 30 N
for ∅ 3 mm holes (e.g. for P 14×11, RM 6) are greatly exceeded, reaching an average of > 100 N.
The threaded sleeve is continuously checked for proper centering (important for a smooth
adjustment curve). Overall, the controlled automated procedure guarantees higher reliability than
manual gluing with its unavoidable inadequacies. Owing to the porosity of the ferrite, tension of the
ferrite structure due to hardened adhesive that has penetrated cannot always be avoided. Hence,
the relative temperature coefficient αF may be increased by approximately 0,2•10-6/K.

2.3 Inductance adjustment

Inductance adjustment curves are included in the individual data sheets for P and RM cores. These
represent typical values. The indicated percentage change in inductance is referred to L
(inductance without adjusting screw). For adjustment the air gap is bridged with a cylindrical or
threaded core. Consequently, only gapped cores permit adjustment.
The combinations of gapped cores and adjusting screws recommended in the data sheets ensure
a sufficient range of adjustment at stable adjustment conditions.
Suitable plastic adjusting tools are also listed in the data sheets.

2.4 Typical calculation of a resonant circuit inductor

The following example serves to illustrate the dependencies to be considered when designing a
resonant circuit inductor:
A SIFERRIT pot core inductor is required with an inductance of L = 640 µH and a minimum quality
factor Q = 400 (tan δL = 1/Q = 2,5•10-3) for a frequency of 500 kHz. The temperature coefficient αe
of this inductor should be 100•10-6/K in the temperature range +5 to +55°C.
a) Choice of material
According to the table of material properties and the tan δ/µ i curves (see chapter „SIFERRIT
materials“) the material M 33, for example, can be used for 500 kHz.
b) Choice of A L value
The Q and temperature coefficient requirements demand a gapped pot core. The relative
temperature coefficient αF of SIFERRIT M 33 according to the table of material properties is on
average about 1,6•10-6/K. Since the required αe value of the gapped P core should be about
100• 10-6/K, the effective permeability is

α µi 100 ⋅ 10– 6 1⋅K

α F = -----e- µ e = α e ⋅ ---
- ------------------------ ⋅ ----------------------
- = 62,5
µe α = K 1,6 ⋅ 10 – 6

Application Notes

With pot core P 18×11 (B65651): µe = 47,9 for A L = 100 nH.

With pot core P 22×13 (B65661): µe = 39,8 for A L = 100 nH.
c) Choice of winding material
RF litz wire 20×0,05 with single natural silk covering is particularly suitable for frequencies around
500 kHz. The overall diameter of the wire including insulation of 0,367 mm and the average resis-
tivity of 0,444 Ω/m are obtained from the litz-wire table (refer to pertinent standard). It is recom-
mended that the actual overall diameter always be measured, and this value used for the calcula-
tion.
d) Number of turns and type of core
For an A L value of 100 nH and an inductance of 640 µH the equation N = (L/ AL)1/2 yields 80 turns.
The nomogram for coil formers on page 152 shows that for a wire with an external diameter of
0,367 mm the two-section former for core type P 18×11 80 can easily take 80 turns. This type can
therefore be used with a two-section former.
e) Length of wire and DC resistance
The length of an average turn lN on the above former is 35,6 mm. The length of litz wire necessary
for the coil is therefore 80•35,6 mm = 2848 mm plus say 2•10 cm for the connections, giving a total
length of 3,04 m. The average resistivity of this wire is 0,444 Ω/m; the total DC resistance RCu is
thus 3,04 m • 0,444 Ω/m ≈ 1,35 Ω. It should be noted that the length of an average turn lN given in
the individual data sheets always refers to the fully wound former. If the former is not fully wound,
the length of an average turn must be corrected according to the extent of the winding.
f) Quality test
The mathematical calculation of the total loss, i.e. the losses of the core and windings is very
laborious and only approximate. At the specified frequency of 500 kHz considerable dielectric and
eddy-current losses occur. The quality is therefore checked on a sample coil wound as specified
above, in this case the value being about 550 as shown in the Q factor characteristics for P 18×11.
g) Checking the temperature coefficient
The core P 18×11 with A L = 100 nH has an effective permeability µ e = 47,9. SIFERRIT M 33 has a
relative temperature coefficient αF ≈ 1,6•10-6/K; therefore the following temperature coefficient can
be calculated

α e = µ e ⋅ α F = 47,9 ⋅ 1,6 ⋅ 10 –6 ⁄ K = 76,6 ⋅ 10 –6 ⁄ K

Actual measurement yielded 90•10-6/K.

It should be pointed out that with pot cores the temperature coefficient of the unwound coil has
almost no influence since the flux density lies primarily in the core.
For effective permeabilities µe < 80, however, due to the influence of the winding an additional
temperature coefficient of approx. (10 ... 30)•10-6/K must be included in the calculation.

0 Cores for broadband transformers

General requirements:
● high A L values ( high effective permeability) to
restrict number of turns
● good broadband properties, i.e. high
impedance up to highest possible frequencies
● low total harmonic distortion ( low hysteresis
material constant ηB)
● low sensitivity to superimposed DC currents
( highest possible values for TC and BS )
● low tan δ for high-frequency applications

3.1 Precision-ground, ungapped cores for broadband transformers

For fields of application such as matching transformers in digital transmission networks, pulse
signal transformers or current-compensated chokes, either cores which form a closed magnetic
circuit (ring, double E or double-aperture cores) or paired core sets without air gap are used. In
order to achieve the highest possible effective permeability here, these cores are precision ground
with residual air gaps s << 1 µm. By selecting the low profile core types, the A L value can be further
increased, and the number of turns reduced.
For this reason, RM and pot cores made of materials N 30, T 35, T 37, T 38 and T 42 are especially
suitable for these applications. For high-frequency applications, N 26, M 33, K 1, K 12 and U 17 are
suitable.

3.2 Fundamentals for broadband transformers in the range 10 kHz to over 1 GHz - an example
Broadband transformers are constructed primarily using closed core shapes, i.e. ring cores and
double-aperture cores. Divided core designs such as P/RM cores or small E/ER cores, which allow
more simple winding, are particularly suitable for transformers up to approximately 200 MHz.
The bandwidth ∆ f = f oG – f uG ( fo G = upper cut-off frequency, f uG = lower cut-off frequency) is
considered the most important transformer characteristic.
Cut-off frequency: Frequency at which the voltage at the transformer drops to 70,7 % ( fall of 3 dB)
The following holds true for circuit quality Q > 10 (typical value):

∆f = ----
R-i ⋅ ------
C0

fr = Resonance frequency
Ri = Internal resistance of generator (normally, Ri << loss resistance of ferrite)
LH = Principal inductance
C0 = Winding capacitance

0 Cores for inductive sensors

The proximity switch, widely used in automation engineering, is based on the damping of a high-
frequency LC oscillator by the approach of a metal. The oscillator inductor consists of a cylindrical
coil and a ferrite core half whose open side forms what is known as the active area. The function of
the ferrite core consists in spatially aligning the magnetic field so as to restrict the interaction area.
The oscillator design must take into account that the inductor forms a magnetically open circuit. The
inductance and quality are decisively dependent on the coil design, unlike in the case of closed
circuits. The initial permeability plays a subordinate role here, as is shown by the following example:
Core: P9×5 (B65517-D...)
Coil: 100 turns, 0,08 CuL
Current: 1 mA
Frequency: 100 kHz

126 Siemens Matsushita Components

Application Notes

Fig. 11
Inductance and quality versus initial permeability
P9,3×2,7, N = 100, f = 100 kHz, I = 1 mA

Decisive for this application is the attainment of as high a Q as possible, with the lowest possible
dependence on temperature at the oscillator frequency. When the distance between the damping
lug and the active area changes, the oscillator Q should however change as strongly as possible.
If the relative change in Q ∆Q/Q exceeds a predefined threshold, e.g. 10%, a switching operation
is initiated at the so-called operating distance. Attainment of the target values depends on
appropriate coil dimensioning and can generally only be performed empirically.

5.1 Core shapes and materials

The enormously increased diversity of application in power electronics has led to a considerable
expansion not only in the spectrum of core shapes but also in the range of materials.
In the case of the rectangular and round-legged E cores as well as in the area of U cores, various
new designs have been included in the program. To satisfy the demands of higher-frequency
applications, the EFD cores have been developed in sizes EFD10, 15, 20, 25 and EFD30. These
are characterized by an extremely flat design, optimized cross-sectional distribution and optimized
winding shielding.
For many standard applications up to 100 kHz, materials N27, N41 and N61 can be used (the latter
for pulse power circuits in small core types). For the range up to 200 kHz, materials N62, N67 and
N72 are suitable. N87 continues the series up to 500 kHz, while N49 and N59 cover the range from
300 kHz to 1 MHz e.g. for DC/DC (resonance) converters.
For detailed information on core shapes see the individual data sheets, for general information on
materials see the chapter on SIFERRIT materials.

5.3 Selection of switch-mode power supply transformer cores

The previous section (Correlation: Applications - Core shape/Material) provides a guide for the
rough selection of core type and material.
The following procedure should be followed when selecting the actual core size and material:
1) Definition of requirements
– range of power capacities Ptrans
– specification of the SMPS type
– specification of pulse frequency and maximum temperature rise
– specification of the maximum volume
2) Selection of „possible“ core types/materials on the basis of the „Power capacity“ tables starting
on page 134
These tables associate core type/material combinations (and the volume V) with the power capacity
of the different converter types at a „typical“ frequency f typ and a „cut-off frequency“ f cu toff.
The typical frequency specified here is a frequency for which specific applications are known, or
which serves as the base frequency for the power loss guarantee values.
The cut-off frequency is selected such that the advantages of other materials predominate above
this frequency and that it is therefore advisable to switch to a different material which is better opti-
mized for this range.
As a rule, the application-specific operating conditions are found neither at the „typical“ frequency
nor at the cut-off frequency. The intermediate values for Ptrans can be estimated approximately us-
ing the following formula.

Ptrans ∼ f ⋅ ∆B

3) Final selection of core shape/material

The core shapes/materials selected as possibilities under 2) must now be compared with the rele-
vant data sheets for the specific core types and the material data (typical curves), taking the follow-
ing points into consideration:
– volume
– accessories (power coil former)
– AL values of ungapped cores
– AL values/air gap specifications
– temperature minimum for losses, Curie temperature TC, saturation magnetization BS , magnetic
bias characteristic, amplitude permeability characteristic
Core shape/material combinations which are not contained in the individual data sheets can be re-
quested from S + M Components.

The material-specific values on which the table calculations (for the „power capacities“) are based
should be taken from the following table. The overtemperature ∆T here is the sum of the tempera-
ture rises resulting from core and winding losses.

The following conditions were also applied:

– The application area for flyback converters was restricted to f < 150 kHz.
– The power specifications for N49/N59 should be read as applicable to DC/DC (quasi) resonance
converters (single-ended forward operation).
– The maximum flux densities were defined as follows:
For flyback converters: ∆B ≤ 200 mT (∆B ≤ 50 mT for materials N49, N59)
For push-pull converters: ∆B ≤ 400 mT
The typical value specified in the tables for the power capacity at a „typical“ f typ and a cut-off fre-
quency f cutoff are based on the assumption that the temperature rise and the losses in core and
winding are evenly distributed. Generally, the following relationship with the thermal resistance Rth
applies, and is listed specifically for core types below.

The thermal resistances specified should be regarded as typical values based on a measurement
in which the influence of the winding was minimized as far as possible. Free convection of heat at
room temperature without cooling facilities was employed. The thermal resistance of a particular
coil design can only be determined by measurements on the transformer, e.g. through the
temperature-rise curve with DC magnetization.
The power losses of the winding are calculated as follows:

I 2
PC u =  ∑ ---
 N ⋅ R
- A

The core-type-specific ferrite losses can be calculated in two ways:

a) by transformation of the core-specific limit value with the general material curve families
Problem: Core influences are not taken into consideration → highly prone to errors
b) by using a Product Design Support System from S+M Components: In this case a calculation
module is provided which can be used to transform the power losses specified in the Data Book to
the relevant operating conditions. The program is currently available for ETD and EFD cores and
runs on MS-DOS computers.

5.5 Calculation examples for magnetic components in switch-mode power supplies

The first part of this section summarizes the design fundamentals for an energy storage choke; in
the second part, a concrete requirement is used to compare the calculation for a flyback converter
with a forward converter.

5.5.1 Design fundamentals for energy storage chokes

The most important aspects for designing energy storage chokes are briefly explained, taking the
most usual switch-mode power supply - step-down mode - as an example.

Fig. 17 Switch-mode power supply with energy storage choke (step-down mode)
--- Interface for incorporating a transformer

If the choke voltage UL is a rectangular waveform, the choke current iL will have a sawtooth
waveform (Fig. 18)

p1 = rise time/cycle T
p2 = fall time/cycle T

Fig. 18 Voltage UL and current iL waveforms of energy storage chokes

Depending on the current ripple ∆I L - for step-down SMPS generally below 0,3 I L - the maximum
choke current I Lmax = I L + 0,5 ∆I L.

Siemens Matsushita Components 141

Application Notes

The maximum magnetic biasing capability ( I 2L)max of the core is used with optimum design. The
inductance - under worst conditions (at maximum operating temperature) - must not decrease by
more than 5%. The inductance for the step-down SMPS is calculated as follows

( U i – U 0 )U 0
L = -----------------------------
-
∆I L ⋅ f ⋅ U i

with the given operating conditions Ui = input voltage, U0 = output voltage, f = switching frequency.
When the maximum magnetic biasing capability (I 2 L)max of the core has been ascertained with the
aid of I L ma x and L , core type, core size and air gap can be determined. With increasing air gap, the
magnetic biasing capability rises, but also the associated copper loss I 2R and hence the heating of
the choke. An optimum gapping is attained when the overtemperature ∆T just reaches the permis-
sible value.

5.5.2 Calculation example: Theoretical comparison: forward converter - flyback converter

To demonstrate the different transformer concepts the design of a 600 W forward converter in a
balanced half-bridge circuit is compared with a flyback converter. In this case, the data for the
forward converter are taken as the basis for the flyback converter, but the air gap and winding are
adapted.
As can be seen, when for example the air gap leakage losses are ignored for the sake of
simplification, only about 500 W can be transferred using a flyback converter of the same basic
design. Of course it should be pointed out that an SMPS with a 500 W power range will not generally
be designed as a flyback converter because various other problems not mentioned here occur as
a result of the simple component design.
– The comparison of the calculations is performed analogously in the following as far as possible.
– Consideration of the inductance, which is supplementary for the flyback converter, is necessary
for the forward converter since an ungapped core is used.
– There is no need to consider the power in the case of the forward converter, transferrable power
is 600 W.

and PVFe =1/2 PVtot = 2,1 W

1.1 Winding design

For the most common core types the maximum number of turns for the individual coil formers can
be seen from the following nomograms. Common wires and litz wires are specified in the
pertinent standards (DIN 46 447 part 1, DIN 46 435 part 2 and DIN 46 436 part 2).
As can be seen from Fig. 19, as high a winding level as possible should be employed because at
low µ e values in particular a low winding level (h/ H ratio) can cause an AL drop of up to 10%
compared to the maximum value with full winding. (By IEC definition, the AL values are always
related to fully wound 100-turn coils.)

1.2 Soldering/Inductor assembly

The winding wires are preferably connected to the pins by dip soldering. Note the following when
soldering:
– Prior to every dip soldering process the oxide film must be removed from the surface of the solder
bath.
– 2 to 3 turns of the wire are dipped into the solder bath; the coil former must not be allowed to
come too close to the solder or remain there for too long (see diagram).
– The following are typical values:
Bath temperature: 400°C, soldering time: 1 s

Tin solder

For inductor assembly, it is advisable to clamp the cores with the associated relevant mounting
assemblies for the coil formers and cores. In this way it is possible to avoid the effects of external
mechanical stress.

1.3 Gluing
The mating surfaces must be free of dust, grease and fibers. From the numerous adhesives
available, epoxy resins with appropriate hardeners have proved particularly suitable. The
following adhesives can be recommended:
a) for cores: b) for cores:
100 g Araldite AY 103 100 g Araldite AY 103
16 g hardener HY 956 7 g hardener HY 992
Pot life 1 hour max. Pot life approx. 8 hours

1.4 Adhesive application and core mating

A quantity of adhesive appropriate to the area in question is applied to the cleaned surface of the
core’s side walls. The centerpost must remain free of adhesive. The two core halves without coil
former are then placed on a mandrel and rotated against each other two or three times to spread
the adhesive. A slight ring of adhesive exuding around the edges indicates that sufficient
adhesive has been applied.
On porous, low-permeability SIFERRIT materials (U and K) the adhesive should be applied and
spread twice.
The next step should follow immediately since the adhesive film easily attracts dust and absorbs
moisture. Therefore, the core pair with adhesive already applied is opened for a short time and
the wound coil is inserted without touching the mating surfaces.
The wound coil is then fixed into position. This can be done by using resilient spacers which must
be inserted before applying the adhesive. Appropriate spacers are available on request.
The coil former can also be fixed by gluing, e.g. using adhesive e), but only at one spot on the
core bottom to avoid any mechanical stress caused by the difference in thermal expansion of core
and coil former.
Adhesive f) is suitable for external gluing, which implies only four dots of adhesive at the joints on
both sides of the openings. Because of the somewhat lower torsional strength, it should be noted
that this kind of gluing should only be used with mounted cores.

1.5 Holding jigs

The core assembly is cured under pressure in a centering jig. The core center hole - where
present - is used for centering, and two to eight coils can be held in one jig with a pressure spring.
Spacers will ensure that the pressure is only exerted on the side walls of the core.
Single jigs facilitate the coil inductance measurement, which has proved useful for checking cores
with small air gaps before the adhesive has hardened. Small inductance corrections can be made
by slightly turning the core halves relative to each other.

1.6 Final adjustment

(possible only with adjustable cores)
With all assembled ferrite cores, a magnetic activation takes place as a result of mounting
influences such as clamping, gluing and soldering, i.e. a disaccommodation process commences.
Therefore the final adjustment for high-precision inductors should take place no earlier than one
day after assembly; preferably, one week should first elapse.

0 General information
Our product packaging modes ensure maximum protection against damage during transportation.
Moreover, our packing materials are selected with environmental considerations in mind. They are
marked with the appropriate recycling symbols.
Because of the large variety of types and sizes, we use five basic kinds of packing, which are
described in points 2 and 3 below:
● blister tape
● tray
● container
● reel
● magazine
The packing units are based on the following system:

1.1 Packing unit (PU)

A packing unit is a collection of a number of basic packages. The size of the packing unit is stated
for the particular components in their data sheets. When ordering, please state complete packing
units if possible. We reserve the right to round the ordered quantity accordingly.

1.2 Dispatch unit

A number of packing units are combined to form a dispatch unit. Standard dispatch units for large
quantities are a Europallet or pallet carton. For small quantities, folding corrugated cardboard boxes
are used in standard sizes. In the case of small quantities a dispatch unit may also include packages
with other components.

1.3 Bar-code standard label

On the product packing label (standard label) we include bar-code information in addition to plain
text. In addition to benefits relating to the internal flow of goods, this provides above all a more rapid
and error-free means of identification checking for the customer.
The bar code used is Code 39 (medium density). Two different versions of the label are available.

2.1 Blister tape

Blister packing was specially devised for handling by automatic systems but has also proved to be
very good for conventional handling, especially where small quantities are concerned. See point 3.2
for a detailed description and a list of the core types that can be supplied in this type of packing.

Siemens Matsushita Components 165

Packing

2.2 Tray (pallet)

2.2.1 Individual tray

The polystyrene tray (basic package) is the standard packing for most types of core. The area of
200 mm × 300 mm corresponds to the module dimensions of DIN 55 510 and is based on the area
of the 800 mm × 1200 mm Europallet. Depending on the overall height of the trays and the numbers
contained, several trays will be stacked to form a packing unit and provided with a corrugated
cardboard cover. For the protection of the cores the entire stack is also shrink-wrapped in
polyethylene film.
Each core is enclosed in a separate compartment. When P cores and similar types are packed in
sets, the halves of the core pairs are packed so that their pole faces are opposite one another. As
a rule their association is identified by markings in the polystyrene (recessed webs, thinner webs).
In the case of P3,3 ×2,6 and P4,6 ×4,1 cores the halves of a set are not located in a single tray but
in different trays of a packing unit.

2.2.2 Block packing

For E and U core and disks we prefer block packing in trays with the dimensions 200 mm × 300 mm.
The symmetry, position, length and spacing of the blocks are always the same. The height of the
tray is dependent on the size of the core. For the makeup of a packing unit see point 2.2.1.
Block packing can be supplied in boxes of corrugated cardboard (special packing unit!) on request.
Block packing permits highly rationalized handling and is designed for automatic processing. For
interested customers we have proposals available for different kinds of extraction.

2.2.3 Board for coil formers with pins

For coil formers with pins, a polystyrene board is generally used. The coil formers are inserted in
the board with the pins downwards. A number of stacked boards (packing unit) are enclosed in a
jacket of cardboard, or packed in a folding box, and in some cases are shrink-wrapped in plastic.

2.3 Container

2.3.1 Bag
Small ferrite parts are packed in flat polyethylene bags. The number per bag depends on the volume
of the parts. Generally four bags in a corrugated cardboard box form a packing unit.
Small accessories (clamps, mounting assemblies, and also pinless and SMD coil formers) are also
packed in this way. The size of the bag depends on the volume of the parts (packing unit).

2.3.2 Box
Coated ring cores of medium size are packed in cardboard boxes with cardboard or polyethylene
foam inlays. Box dimensions: 190 mm × 145 mm × 90 mm. The number per box depends on the
volume of the cores.
Accessories (large mounting assemblies, coil formers etc.) are packed in boxes of cardboard or
corrugated cardboard.

0 Delivery modes for automatic processing

3.1 General information on inductor production

The inductor parts described in the following can be handled by automatic manufacturing systems.
In addition to automatic winding machines - which can be combined with wrapping, fluxing and
soldering stations - flexible, high-performance automatic assembly lines are available. Design and
packing of the individual parts (ferrite cores, coil formers, clamps, insulating washers and adjusting
screws) have been optimized for automatic processing and permit easy feeding to the various
stations of production lines.
Our coil formers for RM4 to RM10 cores are packed in magazines to ensure safe transportation; the
magazines can be used not only for transportation of the wound coil formers to the next production
station but also as space-saving final packing.
We supply RM cores up to RM10 (P and EP cores on request) blister-taped in dispenser boxes, coil
formers in reusable stick magazines, clamps and insulating washers (2 versions) on reels, and
adjusting screws already positioned in magazines. By inserting a plate-shaped resilient insulating
washer between core and coil former, gluing can be dispensed with.
We also provide consulting services with examples of implementations to customers planning to
introduce automatic production lines.

3.2 Cores in blister tape

The cores are packed in sets ready for assembly, i.e. a stamped core with the base upwards and
an unstamped core (possibly with a threaded sleeve) with the pole face upwards. The blister tapes
have a hole at one end for orientation purposes (see also illustration). The tapes are sealed with a
paper cover. Looking at a tape with the hole on the left and the stamped paper cover on top, then
after removing the paper cover the stamped cores will be in the upper row and the unstamped cores
of the sets in the lower row.
Several blister tapes are combined in a box with a perforated tear-off cover (dispenser pack) to form
a packing unit. The tapes are packed so that the orientation hole appears in the dispenser opening.
The box is shrink-wrapped in polyethylene film.

To open a blister tape manually, peel back the paper cover tape smoothly but not too quickly, along
the axis of the tape as shown in the following illustration.

When opening a blister tape automatically, it is advisable not to completely remove the paper cover.
Rather, the cover paper should be divided up by means of 4 longitudinal cuts so that the mating
surfaces remain on the blister (cf. blister tape illustration). The paper strips produced above the two

rows of compartments can then be easily lifted. This avoids malfunctions resulting from fluctuations
in the adhesive properties of the paper sealing tape.

3.3 RM coil formers in stick magazines

RM coil formers can be supplied in transparent plastic stick magazines which are particularly suit-
able for feeding the coil formers to automatic winding machines. When the magazine is inclined at
about 45°, the coil formers slide automatically for acceptance in the winding tool. After removal of
the inserted cardboard strip (see illustration), the magazines can be reused as packing for the com-
pletely assembled inductor.

Quality Considerations

2 General information

2.1 Ferrites quality objectives

Quality plays a central role in the competition for the better and more favorable product. As a guiding
principle for the continual improvement of product and service quality, the Ferrites Business Unit
has set quality objectives which are regularly updated and successively extended to all products.
These serve as target criteria for new developments and are similarly required of current products.
To realize the objectives for existing products, projects involving teams of staff from all areas are
working on product and process improvements without regard to departmental boundaries.

2.2 Total quality management and zero-defect concept

The aim of Total Quality Management (TQM) is to gear the entire organization to optimally satisfying
customer requirements.
Following the principle of „quality from the very start“, everyone in our company is involved in
realizing this objective. Systematic planning, careful selection of our suppliers and mastery of the
development and production processes are the most important guarantors for maintaining a high
quality level.
Internal measures to promote quality, such as training courses, quality group work, working
committees and Q audits, strengthen the sense of responsibility of every employee and help to
recognize and avoid errors.
Modern quality instruments such as FMEA1 ) and SPC2) supplement and support our quality
assurance and enhancement measures.

3 Ferrites quality assurance system

The documented QA system of the Ferrites Business Unit forms the basis for all quality assurance
activities. At all locations the Ferrites QA systems satisfy the international QA standard ISO 9000,
as witnessed by certificates from the DQS (Deutsche Gesellschaft zur Zertifizierung von
Qualitätssicherungssystemen) or the AFAQ (Association Française pour l‘Assurance de la Qualité).

3.1 Quality assurance for incoming goods

To ensure the quality of raw materials and bought-in parts, the ferrite plants of S+M Components
work only with suppliers who can establish proof of both a high quality product and an effective
quality assurance system.
Where it is necessary for process control - as in the case of the iron oxide for example - the plants
perform their own incoming inspections.

3.2 Quality assurance in production

The production processes are monitored and controlled by constant examination of the process
parameters and (intermediate) products. These inspections are included in the company-wide
statistical process control (SPC).
At the conclusion of each major production stage a release inspection („quality control gate“) is
performed to establish proof of the quality.
1) FMEA Failure Mode and Effects Analyses
2) SPC Statistical Process Control

178 Siemens Matsushita Components

Quality Considerations

3.3 Traceability
By recording the lot or batch numbers on the documentation accompanying the process, complete
traceability is maintained in the production sequence.
After delivery, traceability to the internal release inspections („quality control gates“) is ensured by
the „FER QA Release“ stickers applied to the factory packing to identify the delivery release or by
the date code given on the label.

4 Delivery quality
The quality level of the products released for delivery is constantly monitored, recorded and evalu-
ated. These data for ferrite cores are available on request.

5 Classification of defects, AQL values

A product is considered defective if it does not comply with the specifications given in the data
sheets or in the agreed technical purchase specification.
Use of the sampling plan according to IEC 410/DIN ISO 2859 (previously DIN 40 080, contents
identical to MIL STD 105 D) is recommended where incoming inspections are carried out by the us-
er.

5.1 Electrical properties

The measuring conditions can be found in the chapter „SIFERRIT materials“. The product data and
relevant tolerance limits are defined in the respective data sheets. The material data given in the
chapter „SIFERRIT materials“ are to be understood as typical values.
Measuring conditions deviating from the data book require agreement between the customer and
the S+M Ferrites plant.

5.2 Dimensions
The dimensioned drawings in the individual data sheets are definitive for the dimensions. The
dimensions are checked in production using gauges based on DIN 7162, ISO tolerance series 8.

5.3 Finish
Assessment of the finish of ferrite cores is performed in accordance with S+M finish specifications.
These are based on IEC 421 and have been introduced by S+M Components as a proposed
standard. Detailed drawings, which are available on request, specify the maximum permissible limit
values for damage which can never be totally excluded with ceramic components. Assessment of
the solderability of terminal pins for coil formers and clamps is carried out according to IEC 68,
part 2-20, test Ta, method 1 (aging 3).

5.4 AQL values

The AQL values to be applied for an incoming inspection carried out by the customer are being
reduced in steps to 0,1 and 0,065 within the scope of our quality objectives. Currently valid values
are obtainable on request.

Standards and Specifications

1 General information

Standards and Specifications

Ferrite parts from S+M Components are manufactured in accordance with IEC and DIN
specifications. The relevant standards are quoted in the selector guide and in the individual data
sheets.
It would take up too much space here to enumerate all standards dealing with ferrites. In the
supplement to DIN 41 280 (Soft Magnetic Ferrite Cores: Material Properties) all relevant DIN,
CECC and IEC standards are listed. This supplement is regularly updated.
The EC’s standardization system currently being set up is exclusively restricted to the
harmonization of international standards. A binding CE identification mark is envisaged for
components having a safety implication.
The following standards should be mentioned because of their general significance:
DIN IEC 68 Basic environmental testing procedures
IEC 85 Thermal evaluation and classification of electrical insulation
IEC 367-1 Cores for inductors and transformers for telecommunications
Part 1. Measuring methods
IEC 401 (1993) Information on ferrite materials appearing in manufacturers‘ catalogues
of transformer and inductor cores
IEC 410 and Sampling plans and procedures for inspection by attributes
DIN ISO 2859
DIN 40 040 Application categories and reliability
DIN EN 50 008 Industrial low-voltage switchgear
Inductive proximity switches, type A, for DC voltage, 3 or 4 terminals
UL 94 Tests for flammability of plastic materials for parts in devices and
appliances
DIN ISO 9000 to Quality management and quality assurance standards
DIN ISO 9004
2 Quality assessment
The DIN and IEC standards mainly specify dimensions, designations and magnetic characteristics,
whereas the European system of quality assessment CECC and the harmonized DIN-CECC
standards additionally define methods of measurement and quality levels.
Since 1982 the IEC has been establishing the so-called IEC Q-system, which will have worldwide
applicability. German DIN IEC standards are being harmonized with this quality system.
CECC and IEC-Q standards have a similar structure: they are subdivided into generic specifications
(GS), sectional specifications (SS) and blank detail specifications (BDS). The numbering system of
QC is analogous to that of CECC.
The detail specifications of CECC and IEC do not fully correspond to each other.
A quality assessment system of „Capability Approval“ for the production of ferrite parts is being
established.

RM Cores
General Information

1 General information

RM Cores
The demand for coil formers with integrated pins for efficient winding gave rise to the development
of compact RM (Rectangular Modular) cores. Furthermore, this design allows high PCB packing
densities. RM coil formers and accessories are suited to automatic processing.
During assembly, RM cores are held in place by clamps which engage in recesses in the core base.
The holding forces defined for our further developed RM clamps mean that in the majority of
applications the glue bonding usually employed previously (cf. chapter on „Processing notes“,
page 160) is no longer required. The various clamping forces defined, which have been verified by
S + M Components through measurements, are specified in the individual data sheets.
The core dimensions are matched to standard PCB grids. RM6 means, for example, that the core
with coil former fills a square basic area 6 × 6 modules (1 module 2,54 mm) = 15,24 × 15,24 mm2.
The mainly used core sizes RM4 through RM14 are specified in IEC 431 and in DIN 41980, the coil
formers in DIN 41981.

2 Applications
● Originally RM cores from Siemens (today S + M Components) were essentially designed for two
major applications, i.e.
– very low-loss, highly stable filter inductors and other resonance determining inductors
(materials N48, M33 and K1) and
– low-distortion broadband transmission at low signal modulation (materials T38, T35, N30,
N26).
Even today there is still a high demand for RM cores suited to these applications.
● RM cores are increasingly required for power applications. For this purpose our core series made
of materials N67, N87 and N47 (ungapped) is particularly well suited. Matching coil formers with
larger pin spacings are available. RM cores without center hole (higher AL value and greater
power capacity) are used for transformer applications.
● A new addition to the range are the „low profile“ RM cores whose significantly reduced overall
height makes them suitable for small-signal, interface and matching transformers and also for
transformer and energy storage chokes in DC/DC converters with a high pulse rate (materials
N87 and N49). The low profile types are particularly suited for applications where the winding is
printed onto the PCB and the core is fitted to the board from either side.
● In addition to conventional accessories, SMD coil formers are available for RM4 Low Profile,
RM5 and RM6 (refer also to the brochure „SMD Transformers, Ferrites and Accessories for SMD
Inductors“).
● RM cores with waisted centerpost (RM8 through RM14) are suitable for nonlinear chokes in
switch-mode power supplies. For RM10 and RM12 we supply matching coil formers.
The representation of the AL value versus the ampere-turns should be considered typical. Other
curves can be achieved on request by adapting the geometry.
● RM cores with or without center hole can be supplied in any material on request.
● For power applications, particularly for compact energy storage chokes, we supply the RM12 and
RM14 cores with optimized, strengthened base thickness.

3 AL1 value
For core types produced from a power material, the minimum AL1 value is specified. The AL1 value
is defined at a flux density of Bˆ = 320 mT and a temperature of 100°C (exception: material N49:
Bˆ = 200 mT and material N47: T = 25°C). The measuring frequency is less than 20 kHz. The flux

Siemens Matsushita Components 185

RM Cores
General Information

density is determined on the basis of a sinusoidal voltage and is referred to the minimum cross-
sectional area Amin.

4 Marking of RM core sets

The material and the AL value are always stamped on RM cores >RM3, the material and
„o, L.“(=without air gap) are stamped onto ungapped cores. Only one core half of the two comprising
a set carries the marking. With cores having an unsymmetrical air gap (the total air gap is ground
into one half) the ground half carries the marking, with cores including a glued-in threaded sleeve
the half without sleeve is marked.

5 Coil formers made from the new material Bakelite blue

The subject of environmental protection has always been taken very seriously in our company. In
this respect the new material for RM coil formers satisfies the requirements better than previously
used synthetic materials.
Bakelite blue ensures enhanced environmental compatibility for the coil formers since these are
now
● formaldehyde-free
● halogen-free
● without free phenols
● UL94-V0 listed.
Moreover, they offer the following advantages:
● improved insulation between winding wires and ferrite core by means of an insulation web
● no outgassing impairing solderability
● dimensional thermostability better than defined in IEC 68-2-20, allowing successful processing
at solder bath temperatures up to 500°C of winding wires which are difficult to solder (W180).

6 Coil formers for automatic processing

Automated manufacture is gaining more and more importance for the low-cost production of
inductive components. The prerequisites are high-performance winding and assembly machines on
the one hand, and suitable accessories on the other.
The new S + M Components RM coil formers were developed to meet this demand. These coil
formers are not only matched to the versatile concepts of automation, but also offer advantages for
manual winding. The essential improvements of the version optimized for automatic processing will
be described in the following, taking the example of an RM6 coil former. The consistent utilization
of these benefits will in most cases bring about a reduction of production costs for inductors and
transformers.

➀ Pins squared in the start-of-winding area

Secure restraint of the ends of the winding
even with 2 to 3 winding corners; the winding
process is considerably accelerated
➁ Internal diameter slightly conical and highly
accurate
Easy and fast slipping-on and snug fit on the
winding tools
➂ Shortened wire guidance slots
Substantially higher flange breaking strength
➃ Almost parallel flanges with minimum radii at
the winding cylinder to the flange
Correct winding layers, more turns, neat and
rapid winding
➄ V-shaped slot in the pinless flange
Automatic loading and unloading of winding
machine possible. Substantially more accurate
fixing and arrangement of the coil formers
➅ Lengthened wire catching nose
Leads all wires safely into the wire guidance
slots, even at high winding speed
➆ Pinless flange without marking
Substantially more accurate arrangement of
the coil formers for winding and wrapping
➇ Slot outlet stepped in height
Owing to the transfer of the wire crossing to the
level of the slot, short circuit is prevented when
soldering the ends of the winding to the pins

PM Cores
General Information

PM cores are particularly suitable for use in transformers handling high powers in the frequency

PM Cores
range up to 300 kHz. For numerous design tasks in telecommunications and industrial electronics
(e.g. power pulse transformers in radar transmitters, antenna matching networks, machine control
systems, thyristor firing transformers, energy storage chokes in switch-mode power supply equip-
ment and others), the pot core shape offers various advantages: wide flux area for high power at a
minimum number of turns, thus causing only low magnetic leakage and stray capacitance, as well
as good shielding owing to the closed form, precisely ground air gaps, straightforward assembly and
economic mounting.
A family of large pot cores, briefly designated PM cores (for Pot core Module), is presented in the
following.
Due to the weight of these pot cores, particularly in the case of the large cores 87/70 and 114/93,
mounting on PC boards may not always be possible. In these cases, the coil former should be
mounted with its terminals upwards.

Siemens Matsushita Components 287

PM Cores
General Information

1 AL1 value
For each core type, the minimum AL1 value is specified. The AL 1 value is defined at a flux density
of Bˆ = 320 mT and a temperature of 100°C (exception: material N49: Bˆ = 200 mT). The measuring
frequency is less than 20 kHz. The flux density is determined on the basis of a sinusoidal voltage
and is referred to the minimum cross-sectional area Amin.

2 Core losses
For each core type, the maximum dissipation loss is specified in W/set with the relevant measure-
ment parameters. The flux density has been calculated on the basis of a sinusoidal voltage and is
referred to the minimum cross-sectional area Amin.

P Cores (Pot Cores)
General Information

1 General information

P Cores
P cores (Pot cores) are available in a wide range of sizes from S + M Components; 8 types in our
product line comply with IEC 133 and DIN 41293. We offer a choice of different SIFERRIT materials,
which permits the cores to be used for a large variety of applications to over 100 MHz. Since the
wound coil is completely enclosed by the ferrite core, P cores feature low magnetic leakage. They
can be easily and precisely adjusted to the most manifold inductor requirements.
We naturally also supply the appropriate accessories for each core version. Most of the cores are
available with threaded sleeves and screws for precision inductance adjustment. Adjustment curves
are given for this purpose. These relate to the particular recommended combination of screw
core/core material AL value and must be understood as typical values. Notes on gluing the core
halves may be found on page 160.

2 Applications
The cores are suitable for:
● High-quality resonant circuit inductors (filters) with high inductance stability (materials N48, M33,
K1, K12, U17)
● Low-distortion broadband small-signal transformers in materials T38 and N30 with high AL value
● Power applications. Here, pot cores without center hole made of material N67 are used as
standard. As a result of their larger effective magnetic cross-sectional area, these types are
characterized by a higher AL value, better flux density distribution and, consequently, a reduced
power loss.
Your attention is drawn particularly to the following new developments:
● The pot cores P9×5 through P30×19 have broadened side slots to protect the wires.
● For core sizes P9×5, P11×7, P14×8 and P18×11, pinned coil formers for automatic assembly are
available.
● In additional to conventional accessories, an SMD coil former is available for core type P9×5.

3 Marking
The material and the AL value are always stamped on P cores with a diameter > 5,8 mm, the
material and „o, L.“(=without air gap) are stamped on ungapped cores. Only one core half of the two
comprising a set carries the marking. With cores having an unsymmetrical air gap (the total air gap
is ground into one half) the ground half carries the marking, with cores including a glued-in threaded
sleeve the half without sleeve is marked.

4 AL1 value
For each core type produced from power materials, the minimum AL 1 value is specified. The AL1
value is defined at a flux density of Bˆ = 320 mT and a temperature of 100°C (exception: material
N49: Bˆ = 200 mT). The measuring frequency is less than 20 kHz. The flux density is determined on
the basis of a sinusoidal voltage and is referred to the minimum cross-sectional area Amin.

5 Power loss
For each core type with power materials the maximum power loss is specified in W/set. The flux
density has been calculated on the basis of a sinusoidal voltage and is referred to the minimum
cross-sectional area Amin.

P Core Halves (P Cores for Proximity Switches)
General Information

Inductive proximity switches can be used as noncontacting motion detectors and output indicators.

P Core Halves (P Cores for Proximity Switches)

Possible applications:
– Detection of the final position on conveyor belts
– Counters at rotating parts
– Contactless detection of pointer position of pointer-type measuring and control instruments
The advantages of proximity switches are bounceless switching, no mechanical wear, insensitivity
to contamination and detection of metallic parts only.
We supply P cores with diameters ranging from 5,6 to 70 mm for inductive proximity switches. Their
dimensions are matched to standardized switches. Maximum operating distances can thus be
achieved for the individual P core sizes. The SIFERRIT material N22 is particularly suitable for the
frequency range from 0,1 to 0,8 MHz. The material M33 is additionally available for higher
frequencies (core types with 5,6 to 14,0 mm diameter).
Thermoplastic coil formers can be supplied for most of the core types. This material permits an
operating temperature range of – 60 to + 120 °C. Consequently, temperatures of up to + 120 °C are
also permissible during encapsulation.
An addition to the range is the core having an 8,4 × 4,3 diameter with a matching pinned coil former,
which permits automatic winding with a defined wire termination. The P core is then pressure-locked
on the coil former. This new design offers the user new opportunities for rationalized assembly.

EP cores are typically used for transformer applications. Their cubic shape provides an excellent
volume ratio to total space used and permits high PCB packing densities. The compact design and
the high-permeability materials used (N30, T35, T38 and T42, all ungapped versions) ensure low
magnetic leakage and excellent properties for broadband small-signal transmission. The large-
volume types (EP20 and EP17 made of T38) are recommended for low frequencies, while the
smaller types (EP7 made of N30) are more suitable for the high-frequency range.
EP cores are increasingly being used for power applications. Here we recommend the series EP7
through EP20 made of N67 for operation up to about 300 kHz.
Matching pinned coil formers suitable for automatic processing and shielding accessories (yoke,
clamp or cover) complete the product line.
The ER cores in the sizes 9,5 and 11/5 are particularly suitable for use in transformers with low
overall height and high inductance. They are available in material T38 for broadband applications
and materials N87 and N49 for power transformers up to frequencies in excess of 500 kHz. SMD
coil formers are available as accessories.

1 AL1 value
The minimum AL1 value is specified for core types produced from a power material. The AL1 value
is defined at a flux density of Bˆ = 320 mT and a temperature of 100°C (exceptions: material N49:
Bˆ = 200 mT and material N47: T = 25°C). The measuring frequency is less than 20 kHz. The flux
density is determined on the basis of a sinusoidal voltage, referred to the minimum cross-sectional
area Amin.

2 Core losses
The maximum dissipation loss for each core type employing power materials is specified in W/set
together with the measurement parameters. The flux density has been calculated on the basis of a
sinusoidal voltage and is referred to the minimum cross-sectional area Amin.

E Cores
General Information

1 Core shapes and materials

E Cores
The preferred materials for manufacture of E cores are the SIFERRIT materials N27, N67, N87, N49
as well as N30 and T37. N27 is recommended for power applications in the frequency range up to
about 100 kHz, N67 for the frequency range from about 100 to 300 kHz and N87 for the frequency
range up to 500 kHz; EFD cores made of N49 are particularly suitable for frequencies f > 500 kHz.
These materials feature a high saturation flux density and low power loss.
Material N30 is particularly suitable for broadband small-signal applications and also for
interference suppression chokes.
The E core spectrum contained in this data book comprises six basic core shapes, which can be
used not only for transformers but also for chokes with a power capacity of up to 10 kW.

a) Types with round center leg

We offer the following types:
● ETD cores in accordance with IEC 51 (CO) 276 (Economic Transformer Design)
● EFD cores (Economic Flat Transformer Design)
● EC cores in accordance with IEC 647
● ER cores
E cores with round center leg offer the advantage of easy winding, particularly when thick winding
wires are used, compact mounting dimensions and wide openings on each side. ETD cores have
the additional benefit of an almost constant cross section along the magnetic path. A wide variety
of optimized accessories is available. With similarly optimized cross sections, EFD cores can be
used for extremely flat and compact transformers, also in high-frequency applications.

b) Double E cores
The DE cores are a type of E core with a closed magnetic path. Paired with the magnetic
advantages of a ring core, automatic winding can be performed thanks to the accessories specially
designed for automatic production. Material T37 can thus be used for the significantly more cost-
effective production of current-compensated chokes.

c) Types with rectangular center leg

● E cores in accordance with DIN 41295 or DIN 41985
The conventional E cores with rectangular center leg are available in a wide variety of sizes.

2 Ordering, marking, delivery

E cores are supplied in pieces (not in sets), with each packing unit (PU) exclusively containing cores
with or without shortened center leg (air gap dimension „g“).
The material and the size of the air gap (dimension „g“ in mm) are normally stamped on cores, e.g.
for a core made of material N27 with dimension „g“ = 1,2 mm, the marking is: 1,20 N27.
Ungapped E cores carry only the designation of the material, e.g. N27.
Core sizes E6,3 and E8,8 are supplied without markings.
E cores with a toleranced A L value can be supplied on request. In this case it is possible to set a
symmetrical air gap distribution (the same air gap size in each core of a set) or an asymmetrical air
gap distribution (combinations of a gapped core with an ungapped core). The advantage of the

Siemens Matsushita Components 445

E Cores
General Information

symmetrical air gap distribution lies in the fact that no combination of two different cores occurs
during assembly.
Cores with a symmetrical air gap are stamped with the material, the A L value and optionally with a
code for the A L tolerance (see „General - Definitions“).
Example: Material N27, A L = 30 nH ± 3 %, marking: N27 30 A.
With asymmetrical air gap distribution, the gapped core half (also in the case of A L value
tolerancing) is stamped with material and air gap dimension g, the ungapped core half only with the
material.

3 Ungapped cores
Even with the best grinding methods available today, a certain degree of roughness (approx. 6 µm)
cannot be avoided on the ground surface in the case of „ungapped“ cores.
The tolerance of the A L value is + 30/– 20 % for ETD, ER and E cores and ± 25 % for EC cores.
The small E cores E6,3 and E8,8, however, may have an A L value tolerance of + 40/– 30 %.

4 Cores with toleranced air gap

The following tolerances for dimension „g “ apply to all E cores:

Dimension g Tolerance
mm mm
0,10 mm ≤ g < 0,5 ± 0,02
g ≥ 0,5 ± 0,05

As is the case with ungapped cores, a certain degree of roughness cannot be avoided on the
ground surfaces of the outer legs (see point 3).

5 Cores with toleranced A L value

The tolerance of the A L value depends on the magnitude of the A L value and the core shape. Tol-
erance figures are therefore given only on a core-type-specific basis.

6 Calculation systems
Calculation systems a) and b) apply to the A L value under the following measuring conditions:
Measuring flux density B̂ ≤ 0,25 mT, measuring frequency f = 10 kHz,
measuring temperature T = 25 °C, measuring coil: N = 100 turns, fully wound

a) Air gap and AL value

The typical A L value tabulated in the individual data sheets refers to a core set comprising a gapped
core with dimension „ g“ and an ungapped core with „g “ approx. 0.
By inserting the core-specific constants K1 and K2, a nominal AL value can be calculated for the
materials N27, N67 and N87 within the relevant quoted air-gap validity range:
Production variations with regard to µ i and grinding quality should be taken into account additionally.

b) DC magnetic bias IDC

By using the core-shape-related factors K3 and K4 , nominal values can be determined for the DC
magnetic biasing characteristic of E, ETD, EC and EFD cores made of materials N67, N27 and N87
at temperature 23 °C and 100 °C.
The direct current ID C at which the AL value drops by 10 % compared to the AL value without
magnetic biasing ( IDC = 0 A) is determined.
Calculation of I DC at T = 23 °C:
The factors K3 and K4 for T = 23 °C are inserted into the equation for the calculation. The AL value
here corresponds to the value without magnetic biasing.
Calculation of I DC at T = 100 °C:
The factors K3 and K4 for T = 100 °C are inserted into the equation for the calculation. The value
for T = 23 °C without magnetic biasing should be used here as the AL value.

7 Magnetic characteristics
The set characteristics Σl/A, le, Ae, Amin and Ve required for the calculation of field strength, flux
density and hysteresis losses have been determined in accordance with IEC 205 (1966)
(Amin = minimum cross section relative to the nominal dimensions).

8 Core losses
The maximum power loss for each core type is specified in W/set together with the measurement
parameters. The flux density has been calculated on the basis of a sinusoidal voltage and is referred
to the minimum cross-sectional area Amin. In addition, a diskette containing a calculation program
for determining power loss as a function of operating conditions is available for ETD and EFD cores.

E Cores
General Information

9 AL1 value
The minimum AL1 value is specified for each core type. The AL1 value is defined at a flux density of
Bˆ = 320 mT and a temperature of 100°C (exception: material N49: Bˆ = 200 mT). The measuring
frequency is less than 20 kHz. The flux density is determined on the basis of a sinusoidal voltage
and is referred to the minimum cross-sectional area Amin.

10 Accessories
The coil formers for all ETD, EFD, EC and ER cores and most of the E cores are designed so that
they can be wound fully automatically.
With the ETD cores and most E cores, each core half and its mounting assembly can be fitted to
the coil former from the same side, thus permitting simple fully automatic assembly.
EC coil formers, cores and their mounting assemblies are fixed by means of screws.
If coil formers are used for cores with a rectangular cross section (E cores), the indication of the
winding height represents only a theoretical value. The use of thicker wires or litz wires results in a
gradual rounding of the winding from layer to layer. In such cases the planned winding design
should be verified by means of a winding test.

U and UI Cores
General Information

U and UI Cores
1 Core shapes and materials
U and I cores are made of SIFERRIT materials N27, N62 and N67. Owing to their high saturation
flux density, high Curie temperature and low dissipation losses, they are suitable for power, pulse
and high-voltage transformers (in particular line deflection transformers and diode splitting
transformers in TV sets, energy storage chokes, ignition transformers etc.). Typical core shapes are
U cores with rectangular centerposts and UR cores with one round and one rectangular centerpost.
UU and UI cores of rectangular cross section are preferred for power ratings > 1 kW, since they can
be combined in various ways (see illustration above) to produce transformers in the kilowatt range.

2 Ordering, marking and delivery

U and I cores are supplied as pieces, not as sets. Please note the size of the packing units.
The cores carry only the designation of the material, e.g. „N27“.
U cores with one shortened leg ( air gap) are available only on request.

3 Test results for AL and AL1 values and core losses PV

The corresponding test results are tabulated separately for each core shape.
a) AL value (see also p. 109)
The AL value is measured with a fully wound 100-turn coil at a flux density of B̂ = 0,25 mT and a
frequency of f = 10 kHz. The temperature of the core is equal to room temperature.
b) AL1 value
The AL1 value is measured with a flux density of Bˆ = 320 mT at 100 °C. The measuring frequency
here is less than 25 kHz. The flux density has been calculated on the basis of a sinusoidal voltage
and is referred to the minimum cross-sectional area Amin of the core.
c) Power loss PV
The dissipation loss is specified in W/set. The data are maximum values under the specified
measuring conditions. For material N67, the provisional limiting values at
200 mT/100 kHz/100 °C are also specified. The flux density has been calculated on the basis of
a sinusoidal voltage and is referred to the minimum cross-sectional area Amin of the core.

Ring Cores
General Information

● Our product line includes a wide range of ring cores with finely graded diameters ranging from

Ring Cores
2,5 to 100 mm (see overview of available types). Other core heights can be supplied on request.
All cores are available in the usual materials.
Ring cores are available in different coating versions, thus offering the appropriate solution for
every application. The coating not only offers protection for the edges but also provides an
insulation function.
The following test setup is used to test the dielectric strength of the insulating coating: A copper
ring is pressed to the top edge of the ring. It touches the ferrite ring at the edges (see diagram).
The test duration is 2 seconds; the test voltages specified in the table are minimum values:

Ferrite ring
Core size Vrms
Vrms
Metal poles R 4 thru R 10 1,0 kV
R 12,5 thru R 20 1,5 kV
> R 20 2,0 kV

For cores with high permeability, increased spread of the AL values of several percent must be
expected due to the polyamide coating (K version). This effect can be avoided by using an enamel
coating (L version).
For small ring cores, we have introduced a parylene coating which features a low coating thickness
and high dielectric strength.
● Ring cores are used primarily for pulse and broadband transformers, baluns and chokes. Owing
to the magnetically closed circuit, high flux densities can be achieved at small volume. Magnetic
leakage is negligible.
● Ring cores are also increasingly used for power applications. Here, the typical values for
amplitude permeability and power loss, as summarized in the section on SIFERRIT materials
(page 37), are applicable to the special power materials.
● In the list of preferred types, the AL1min value (measurement conditions 320 mT, 100 °C, 10 kHz,
for N47: 25 °C) is also specified for power applications, in addition to a limiting value for power
loss under the relevant measurement conditions. This provides a guarantee of the minimum
amplitude permeability.
● Characteristic data for cores not included among the preferred types are available on request.

Shielding Beads B62110

● In accordance with IEC 220

● For the short-wave to VHF range

Mode of operation
When slipped over a conductor,
the beads produce an attenuation,
which increases with the number of beads.
Magnetic biasing of the beads reduces
the attenuation.

Ceramic chip capacitors from stock

Small in
size, big in
performance
Our selection of capacitors ranges
from standard sizes down to a mini-
ature highlight in 0402 style. Mea-
suring only 1 x 0.5 x 0.5 mm, it’s an
ideal solution for applications where
space is tight, like in handies and
cardiac pacemakers. At the same
time all our chips can boast excellent
soldering characteristics, with special
terminal variants for conductive ad-
hesion. And we also thought about
the right packing for automatic place-
ment. You get all sizes down to 1206
in bulk case for example, plus voltage
ratings from 16 to 500 V. By the way,
our leaded models have CECC
approval of course, in fact they
were certified more than ten
years ago.
