PQ3230 Ferrite Transformer Cores (Pair)

The PQ32/30 Ferrite Transformer Cores (Pair) are designed for high-frequency applications where efficient energy conversion and compact design are crucial. PQ cores, known for their optimized window area and magnetic properties, are widely used in transformers for Switched Mode Power Supplies (SMPS), DC-DC converters, inverters, and other power electronics.

Features:

• Core Shape: PQ (Power Quality) core, designed to provide a large winding window with minimal external dimensions, improving energy transfer efficiency while reducing copper losses.

• Material: Made from MnZn (Manganese-Zinc) ferrite material, which is optimized for high-frequency applications due to its low core losses and high permeability.

• Applications: Ideal for use in high-frequency transformers, inductors, and other magnetic components in SMPS, DC-DC converters, inverters, and other power conversion applications.

• Magnetic Efficiency: The core shape ensures low core losses at high frequencies, which is essential for improving overall transformer efficiency in power circuits.

Specifications:

• Core Size: PQ32/30 refers to the specific dimensions of the core, where:

  • Outer Diameter: ~32 mm

  • Height: ~30 mm

• Winding Area: The large winding window allows for more windings or thicker wire, reducing copper losses and improving the efficiency of energy transfer.

• Permeability: Typically available in permeability grades ranging from 2500 µ to 10000 µ, depending on the material chosen for the application.

• Saturation Flux Density (Bsat): The saturation flux density is typically in the range of 300 mT to 500 mT, depending on the ferrite material used, ensuring effective magnetic performance without excessive core saturation.

• Core Losses: PQ ferrite cores are designed to have low core losses at high frequencies, making them ideal for efficient power conversion applications (typically operating between 50 kHz to 500 kHz or higher, depending on the ferrite material).

• Operating Frequency: Optimized for high-frequency applications, often used in circuits with switching frequencies up to 500 kHz or beyond.
