Ferrites are dense, homogenous ceramic structures made by mixing iron oxide with oxides or carbonates of one or more metals such as zinc, manganese, nickel or magnesium.
They are pressed, then fired in a kiln at 2000 F, and machined as needed to meet various operational requirements. Ferrite parts can be easily and economically molded into many different geometries. Many diverse materials are available, providing many choices of desirable electrical and mechanical properties.
The MAGNETICS Ferrite Cores Design Manual and Catalog is a comprehensive document covering a very large product line.
MAGNETICS ferrites are the manganese-zinc type used for communications (frequencies from 1KHz to 1000 KHz) and for power applications such as in switching power supplies.
