What types of soft magnetic cores does Magnetics offer?
Magnetics® is a manufacturer of three types of soft magnetic cores: powder cores, ferrite cores, and tape wound cores. Each material type has unique attributes and varying applications, but a commonality among the materials is that their primary purpose is power conversion in electronic appliances. A brief overview is provided below . A comparison of powder cores, ferrites and powder iron cores is also available in the Powder Core Materials flash presentation. Powder Core products are distributed air gap cores that are primarily used in power inductor applications, specifically in switched-mode power supply (SMPS) output filters, also known as DC inductors. Other power applications include differential inductors, boost inductors, buck inductors, and flyback transformers. Notable characteristics of Magnetics’ Powder Core materials are high resistivity, low hysteresis and eddy current losses, and excellent inductance stability under both DC and AC conditions.
