Key effective parameters include an effective magnetic volume (Ve) of 8740 mm³, an effective cross-sectional area (Ae) of 97.5 mm², and an effective magnetic path length (le) of 89.7 mm. The core factor (ΣI/A) is specified at 0.919 mm⁻¹.

Ferrite Cable Feature Summary

• Constructed with 3N10 soft ferrite material optimized for high-frequency power applications.
• Features a durable epoxy coating to provide insulation and resistance to environmental factors.
• Designed as a non-gapped toroid to maximize magnetic flux density in transformer and inductor designs.

Ferrite Cable Applications

• High-frequency switching power supply transformers
• Common mode chokes for EMI suppression
• Inductors in DC-DC converter circuits

Ferrite Cable Procurement Notes

Verify the specific material grade suffix (3N10) against project requirements, as Ferroxcube offers multiple materials within the same physical dimensions. Confirm that the epoxy coating specification meets the thermal and chemical resistance needs of the assembly environment. Ensure compatibility with winding machinery given the standard toroidal geometry.

Ferrite Cable Selection Notes

Select this component when high permeability and low core loss are required at frequencies typical for modern switch-mode power supplies. The 3N10 material offers a balance of performance suitable for general-purpose power conversion. Compare the effective volume and area against calculated energy storage requirements to ensure the core does not saturate under peak load conditions.

Ferrite Cable Part Context

This part belongs to the Ferroxcube TX Series of toroidal cores, which are widely used in electronic power conversion. The TX designation indicates a standard round toroid shape. The 3N10 material is distinct from other grades like 3C90 or 3F3, offering specific magnetic properties tailored for power applications rather than just signal processing or high-permeability sensing.

Ferrite Cable FAQ

Is the TX50/30/20-3N10 core gapped?

No, the TX50/30/20-3N10 is a solid toroid without an air gap. Gaps must be introduced externally if required by the circuit design.

What is the maximum operating temperature for the epoxy coating?

The epoxy coating on Ferroxcube TX series cores typically supports continuous operation up to 200°C, though the ferrite material itself may have different thermal limits depending on the specific application stress.
