CST17/11/60-3S4

Overview

The Ferroxcube CST17/11/60-3S4 is a cylindrical solid ferrite core designed for electromagnetic interference suppression. It utilizes the 3S4 material formulation, which provides high permeability and saturation characteristics suitable for broadband noise attenuation. The component features a nominal outer diameter of 17 mm, an inner diameter of 11 mm, and a length of 60 mm. This geometry supports cable shielding applications where significant magnetic path volume is required to handle higher current levels without saturation.

Feature Summary

• Cylindrical solid construction for free-hanging cable mounting
• Utilizes 3S4 ferrite material for effective broadband noise suppression
• High saturation capability suitable for power line filtering

Applications

• Electromagnetic interference suppression on power cables
• Common mode noise attenuation in industrial equipment
• Broadband filtering for signal integrity maintenance

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific material grade suffix (3S4) against project requirements, as Ferroxcube offers multiple material formulations with distinct frequency responses. Confirm physical dimensions match the available space constraints, particularly the 60 mm length. Ensure the supplier provides documentation confirming the component is genuine Ferroxcube product to avoid counterfeit materials with inconsistent magnetic properties.

Selection Notes

Select this part when application requires a solid cylindrical core rather than split types for easier installation. The 3S4 material is appropriate for frequencies where high permeability is needed. Evaluate the cable diameter to ensure it fits within the 11 mm inner diameter. Consider thermal environment, as ferrite performance varies with temperature; verify operating range aligns with system conditions.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Ferroxcube CST series of cylindrical ferrite cores. These cores are standard components in EMI/RFI mitigation strategies. The naming convention indicates dimensions: 17 mm outer diameter, 11 mm inner diameter, and 60 mm length. The 3S4 suffix denotes the specific magnetic material composition optimized for general-purpose noise suppression.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other cylindrical ferrite cores with identical or compatible dimensions and material properties. Verify that any replacement maintains the 3S4 material specification to ensure equivalent impedance characteristics. Split-core alternatives may be considered if retrofitting existing cables without disconnection is required.
