Magnetic Permeability of Ferrite Material
Inordertoachieveecientnoisereduction,itisimportanttoselectthematerialaccordingtothetargetfrequencyband.
Depending on its magnetic permeability, a particular ferrite material will be effective in a certain frequency band.
A schematic representation of the relationship between the magnetic permeability of each material and the corresponding
effective band range is shown in Figure 1.
Materials with higher magnetic permeability are effective in the lower frequency range, while those with lower magnetic
permeability are effective in the higher frequency range. Thus, Mn-Zn products are mainly used for reducing conduction
noise, while Ni-Zn products are commonly used for radiation noise countermeasures.
The effective frequency range varies depending on core shape, size and number of windings. This frequency dependence
ofthemagneticpermeabilityasshowninthegureservesforreferencepurposesonlyanditshouldbetestedontheactual
device to determine its effectiveness.
S18H, S15H, 10H, 7H, 5H, 1400L and 700L are KEMET’s proprietary ferrite material names.
Other materials can also be available on request.
