What Material Should You Use for Frequency?

In today's video we will be going over the questions that you have asked in the comments of our other videos. When should you use 31 or 43 or other materials when it comes to frequency ranges? What's the best way to check the material of the toroid?

What Ferrite Core Do You Need?

In this video of the Soft Magnetics, Hard Topics Podcast, Mike and Bridget will cover the different terminology you may come across when figuring out what ferrite core you are looking for.

In this video, Mike will be explaining to Bridget and the viewers the different type of magnetic materials, what fair-Rite carriers of those, and reviewing some of the key terms that will help you when looking a ferrite datasheets.

What is a Power Ferrite?

In this episode of "Soft Magnetics, Hard Topics" Mike and Bridget discuss power ferrite and what makes a ferrite a power ferrite. Along with some of the other popular power ferrite questions we tend to see from design engineers.

Top questions from Ham radio customers

In this special episode, Bridget Kane-Ferrigan is joined by Bruce Sparrow N2KTV, Fair-Rite's Consultant and Ham Radio enthusiast! Join them as they explore the top questions and concerns raised by our valued Ham Radio customers.

On this episode of Soft Magnetics, Hard Topics- Mike and Bridget cover some of the top questions we get when using our Ask the Advisor section of the website. What Ferrite Snap-it should I use? How does a ferrite core get rid of EMI?

Soft Magnetics, Hard Topics What is a Ferrite?

Welcome to the Soft Magnetics, Hard Topics podcast- where we discuss all things ferrite, Fair-Rite and more! On this episode we will be going over one of the top questions: What is a ferrite? We will discuss what it is and why it is needed.

Since 1952, Fair-Rite has been providing the electronics industry with a variety of ferrite products to solve EMC issues. Follow along with Bruce Sparrow, Product Manager, as he explains how different beads work to suppress EMI noise.

Predicting the Performance of Ferrite Suppression Cores

Follow along with Fair-Rite Products’ Bruce Sparrow, Product Manager for Suppression Applications, as he explains how different beads work to suppress EMI noise. With an assortment of materials to suppress frequencies from 100 kHz into the GHz range.

NanoVNA Sorts Unknown Ferrite Suppression Beads

Because suppression ferrites aren’t marked, its difficult to know what frequencies they work on. Now you can use the popular NanoVNA along with free software to graph the unknown ferrite’s impedance over frequency.

In this video we take a look some the specialized testing and processes used to ensure reliable operation no matter the application. At Fair-Rite; We'll go the extra mile so you can go the extra million.

Fair-Rite's Greatest Hits Kit

Fair-Rite proudly presents an encore to our flagship Signal Solution Kit, The Greatest Hits Kit. Inside this exclusive box you will find four different materials Snap-It kits ranging from 150 kHz to 1 GHz.

How to use Fair-Rite's Toroid Permeability Calculator

Lost the data sheet to the toroid you're using? Found a toroid hiding out in a box somewhere and can't identify the material? Follow along with Anton Nilsen, Field Application Engineer, as he walks you through successfully using Fair-Rite's Toroid.

Fair-Rite Products: Signal Solution Kit

Follow along with Bruce Sparrow, Product Manager for Suppression Applications, as he explores our flagship kit for Compliance labs- The Signal Solution Kit. The Signal Solution Kit contains our most popular Snap-Its and EMC reference guides.

EMI Suppression: Common-Mode vs Differential-Mode

A fundamental concept to understand when using ferrites in a suppression application is the mode of the noise that is to be suppressed. In this video, we go over common and differential mode EMI and how ferrites can be used to attenuate them.

Ferrite rods and bobbins make excellent cores for a variety of different applications. These can range from wireless antenna cores (wireless power, Bluetooth, RFID, etc..) to high bias/power inductors, to chokes and many more.

7 MHz Low Pass Ferrite Filter Build and Test

Testing and building a 7MHz low pass filter using ferrite inductors and a tiny spectrum analyzer.

High Reliability Testing

Here at Fair-Rite Products, we pride ourselves on making cores to an extremely high standard of quality. But, what happens when the best isn't quite enough? In this video we look at some the specialized testing and processes used.

Inductance Factor Constrained Power Core Comparison

Choosing a ferrite for use as a power material? Pick the lowest loss material at the operating conditions and it’s off to the races. In this video we look (simplistically) at how adding an air gap can affect our core material selection.

Measuring Balun Performance

Follow along with Bruce Sparrow - N2KTV, Product Manager for Suppression Applications at Fair-Rite Products as he demonstrates how to measure balun performance using the MFJ 225 two port vector network analyzer.
