TDK (Epcos) produces 7 standard ETD core shapes. The advantages of ETD core shape using include the convenience of winding through a thick wire and copper tape, a large number of bobbins terminals providing modularity in the design of a multi-winding transformer, as well as the easy coils manufacturing. The standard product range of vertical and horizontal coil formers optimizes the location of the ETD-transformer on the PCB. A significant factor in favor of using these cores in new developments is also the widespread use of all cores sizes in products of power electronics, reducing delivery time and prices. A wide range of standard ETD ferrite cores with a gap provides an additional opportunity to optimize the applied cores for the estimated required value of a gap.
PDF data sheets on cores and acessories are available when following a link according to appropriate core shape.
These cores are supplied as single units.Ordering code is per piece, 2 pieces are required.
