Introduction to Powder Cores for Power Chokes  
   
POWDER CORES
To give a "soft saturation" effect, where the inductance under bias gradually rolls-off, powder cores are made from high saturation ferromagnetic alloys with an inbuilt distributed airgap.
This powdering process also reduces eddy current losses in the metallic alloys used. Close tolerance permeabilities of up to 350 are achieved.

   
Sendust cores for power & emc
The most recently developed low loss material, particularly suitable for cost conscious design as switching frequencies above 100kHz become widely used.
This material contains no nickel and is the lowest cost high performance core option.
Low acoustic noise.

MPP toroids for power & emc
MPP cores have been the industry standard for many years for high stability, low loss inductors.

Telephone line filters
Feedthrough filters
High-Q filters
   
Hi-flux toroids for power & emc
Hi-flux cores are widely used where high on-load inductance is needed, and some increase in core loss can be accepted.
Particularly suitable for inductors to carry high current bias, with ripple current to about 50-100kHz.
