The Ferrite Gateway
A Guide To Ferrite For Sales and Purchasing
Are you given a list of parts by the technical team or a customer and when you read through it you wonder what it is you’re buying? How often do suppliers come back with alternatives and give you technical information that you don’t quite understand. In this blog we will take a look at the basics of what Ferrite is and some of the applications it can be used in.
A Guide To Ferrite Lapping
Ferrite Lapping is a process used to remove material from the surface of a workpiece, which is beneficial for creating a smooth finish after machining (removing any grooves or indentations). By creating a flat surface finish, Ferrite Cores can attain a tighter mating which increases AL value.
Rotating Transformers
With increasing demands from power systems and electronic devices with electromechanical elements, such as the movement towards electric vehicles, power and signal transfer on rotating components is becoming increasingly important.
We are expanding our CanDo Team!
The role of the Machining Apprentice is to work to support the day-to-day running of the machine shop.
Ferrite in Automotive
The automotive industry is huge and the technology involved is constantly evolving from the initial “Benz Patent-Motorwagen” first presented in 1886 to the modern day Tesla Model 3 - a lot has happened and the technology involved is significantly different.
Ferrite Sheets
Ferrite sheets provide the benefits of traditional soft-magnetic materials whilst providing far more flexibility and versatility, freeing you from the typical mechanical constraints of Ferrite cores. Typically well suited for RFID and EMC protection due to its flexible nature and minimal material thickness (typically less than 0.2mm), Ferrite sheets can also improve the efficiency of wireless power transfer.

Custom Ferrites for Busbars
As industry evolves and has increasing demands on performance and speed of electronic systems whilst simultaneously reducing costs, these requirements are most noticeable when looking at power transmission. As technology advances a simple solution is actually the answer, using wiring harnesses is becoming a thing of the past and the use of busbars is paving the way for the future of lower cost and higher reliability.
TDK Senten Manten Silver Award
Gateway Electronic Components have been awarded a Silver Senten Manten award from TDK this Autumn in recognition of the company’s unique and differentiated position in the ferrite and power sectors and the contribution made to supply competence and efficiency in the TDK distributor channel.
