Recently, King Magnetics introduced a new line of amorphous and nanocrystalline gap cores that offer exceptional performance and cost savings, making them an ideal choice for power inductors. These cores are designed to deliver high inductance with minimal core loss, ensuring efficient energy transfer within a circuit. Let's take a closer look at the features and benefits of these cores.
High Saturation Flux Density
One of the key advantages of amorphous and nanocrystalline gap cores is their high saturation flux density of up to 1.2T. Saturation flux density is the point at which the magnetic field in the core can no longer increase, leading to a decrease in inductance. High saturation flux density means the core can store more energy before reaching saturation, resulting in a larger range of possible inductance values. This makes them ideal for high voltage, high current applications such as output inductors.
Low Core Loss
Another critical feature of amorphous and nanocrystalline gap cores is their low core loss. Core loss is the energy loss that occurs in the core material due to Eddy currents and hysteresis. High core loss can significantly reduce the efficiency of an inductor leading to higher operating temperatures and energy wastage. Amorphous and nanocrystalline gap cores have minimal core loss making them highly efficient power inductors.
Cost-Effective
King Magnetic's amorphous and nanocrystalline gap cores offer a cost-effective alternative to conventional high flux cores. High flux cores are known for their high permeability and high saturation flux density, making them ideal for low voltage, high current applications. However, they are relatively expensive due to the high cost of materials and manufacturing processes. Amorphous and nanocrystalline gap cores offer comparable performance, making them a great option for designers looking to reduce the cost of production.
Suitable for Hall-Effect Sensor Concentrators
Hall-effect sensors are widely used in automotive and industrial applications to detect magnetic fields accurately. Hall-effect sensor concentrators are electronic devices that amplify the output from the sensors, enabling them to provide accurate measurements over a broader range of currents. King Magnetic's amorphous and nanocrystalline gap cores are ideal for use in hall-effect sensor concentrators due to their high inductance and low core loss. These cores ensure accurate and reliable measurements, enhancing the performance of the sensors.
Conclusion
King Magnetic's amorphous and nanocrystalline gap cores are an excellent choice for power inductors in various applications such as output inductors and hall-effect sensor concentrators. They offer high saturation flux density, low core loss, and cost savings, making them a compelling alternative to traditional high flux cores. Designers can now achieve efficient energy transfer and reliable performance while saving on production costs.
