Iron Powder Cores
DX Engineering Iron Powder Cores are used by electronics designers and radio hobbyists to
build cost effective RF inductors for MF to UHF circuit board applications as well as for RF
suppression. Iron powder cores are typically made in smaller toroid form and are used to build
special inductors used in critical receiving circuits and low power electronic filter applications.
They are not used in Baluns as they have much lower power handling capabilities than ferrite
toroids. However, with lower permeability, iron powder inductor cores work much better than
ferrite in high temperatures environments, inside hot equipment. Additionally, inductors wound
on iron powder cores produce less electro-magnetic interference to adjacent circuits. Therefore,
they are often used in devices subject to Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) testing. DX
Engineering Iron Powder Cores are available in popular material numbers and sizes.
