Main features and properties

1. material composition

Ferroxcube ferrites consist of iron oxide combined with metal oxides. Two main types:

  • MnZn ferrites (manganese-zinc): High permeability, high saturation induction

  • NiZn ferrite (nickel-zinc): Lower losses at high frequencies

2. magnetic properties

  • Low core losses

  • Temperature stable up to over 100 °C

  • High saturation induction - ideal for high-performance applications

3. frequency ranges

  • NiZn ferrites: Optimal for frequencies above 1 MHz

  • MnZn-Ferrite: Suitable for frequencies up to 3 MHz with high energy transmission

Typical areas of application

  • Power electronics: switching power supplies, DC/DC converters, inverters

  • Telecommunications: high-frequency filters, antennas

  • Lighting technology: LED drivers, electronic ballasts

  • EMC suppression: common mode and differential mode chokes

  • Power distribution: current sensors, high-power transformers
