S2 Ep 6: Split Core VS. Solid Core: What's the difference?

Welcome to another episode of the Soft Magnetics, Hard Topic Podcast! Michael Arasim is joined by Fair-Rite's Director of Sales and Marketing, Bennett Bruntil. In this special episode, we dive deep into the differences between split ferrite cores and solid ferrite cores. Whether you're a seasoned engineer or just starting to explore the fascinating world of magnetics, this episode is packed with insights that will help you understand the key distinctions and applications of these two types of ferrite cores. All while in the BRAND NEW TUV Rheinland's Technology and Innovation Center in Boxborough, MA; where Fair-Rite has a large display and free product to use for all your testing needs.

"not Bridget" - LOL. The fact that the split core has slightly higher frequency performance was surprising. Do they have the same saturation characteristics?

[@FairRiteProductsCorp]

Typically the saturation characteristics will be slightly softer. It depends a lot on how well they are made. The tighter the tolerances and the flatter the mating surfaces, the more they will just act like a solid core.

How about the mix labeled on the core

[@FairRiteProductsCorp]

In most of our engineering kits we do label the cores, or at least color code dot them with the material!

@@FairRiteProductsCorp I would love to have one of those posters for our electronics lab as well, if that's possible! Also, really appreciate your podcast series, and I like that you aren't taking yourself too seriously and can joke around as well, looks like you're having fun working, and I wish more workplaces would show that! ;)
