ferrites for interference control

INSTALLATION IS SIMPLE
Just snap over circuit wiring to be controlled - even after wiring has been terminated. Radio interference sources usually radiate their RFI power at frequencies above 30 MHz by way of the main cabling, which acts as an antenna.


ANYWHERE THERE IS AN ANTENNA-LIKE STRUCTURE
Electronic cabling and wires, by virtue of their length-to-width ratios, are perfect natural antennas. In the presence of high speed microprocessor signals, cables will conduct, radiate and/or receive unwanted high frequency interfering signals.

APPLICATION POINTS
Control of radio interference can be assured by proper placement of an insertion loss device, such as a ferrite suppressor.

ADVANTAGES

Compared to other alternatives, ferrites’ high resistivity per cubic volume stands out as the most important advantage. Prior to the development of bisected ferrites, suppression engineering was restricted to the costly addition of filters, cable shielding, and less versatile solid core (not bisected) ferrites. While these methods offer a degree of suppression, they are often awkward to install and, in many cases, are not completely effective. Bisected ferrites have a concentrated, homogeneous magnetic structure with high permeability. They are consistently stable versus time and temperature, and provide RF suppression without high eddy current losses.
