TX26/15/10-3N5

Ferrite Cable Overview

The Ferroxcube TX26/15/10-3N5 is a manganese-zinc ferrite toroidal core designed for high-frequency magnetic applications. It utilizes the proprietary 3N5 material, which offers low core loss and stable permeability characteristics suitable for broadband transformers and inductors. The component features a standard ring geometry with an outer diameter of 26 mm, an inner diameter of 15 mm, and a height of 10 mm. This configuration provides a balanced balance between magnetic path length and cross-sectional area, facilitating efficient flux containment in compact electronic designs.

Ferrite Cable Feature Summary

• Utilizes 3N5 manganese-zinc ferrite material optimized for low-loss performance at higher frequencies
• Toroidal geometry ensures effective magnetic shielding and reduced electromagnetic interference emission
• Standardized dimensions facilitate integration into existing transformer and inductor winding processes

Ferrite Cable Applications

• Broadband transformers requiring wide frequency response
• High-frequency inductors in switching power supplies
• Common mode chokes for EMI suppression in data lines

Ferrite Cable Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '3N5' to confirm the material grade, as Ferroxcube offers multiple compositions for this physical package. Confirm RoHS compliance status through the manufacturer's current certification documentation. Ensure storage conditions align with standard ferrite handling guidelines to prevent mechanical damage during assembly.

Ferrite Cable Selection Notes

Select this part when application requirements demand low core loss at frequencies typically exceeding those handled by standard 3C9x materials. Compare the initial permeability and saturation flux density of 3N5 against alternative grades like 3C90 or 3F3 to ensure compatibility with the intended operating point and thermal environment of the final device.

Ferrite Cable Part Context

This component belongs to the Ferroxcube TX series of toroidal cores, which are widely used in the design of custom magnetics. The TX series provides various size options to accommodate different power levels and frequency ranges, serving as fundamental building blocks for engineers designing isolated converters and signal transformers.

Ferrite Cable Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the exact physical dimensions (26x15x10 mm) and the 3N5 material specification. Alternative manufacturers may offer equivalent toroids, but careful verification of permeability tolerance and loss curves is required to maintain circuit performance.
