Ferrites

When applications require performance at high frequencies, ferrite cored transformers and inductors provide alternatives to steel-cored magnetics. Ferrite cores can be produced from a combination of a variety of materials, most frequently manganese, zinc, and nickel. The resulting coil provides both the electrical and mechanical requirements necessary for high frequency switching transformers and inductors.

Because of ferrite cores ability to work at high frequencies, eddy current losses are low over large frequency ranges.  The small size of ferrites vs. steel transformers means space and weight advantages are easily realized.

By utilizing ferrites and designing proper windings and insulation systems, ECC provides a vast range of high frequency magnetics to meet a wide number of project requirements.

Ferrite materials are available in configurations including pot cores, E cores, ferrite slugs, toroidal, and many others.
