[RFI] Fw: TODAY: Ferrites for EMI Suppression Product Demo- REGISTER TODAY!

[Jim Brown]

I wouldn't expect to learn much from this. Fair-Rite, as well as other 
ferrite mfrs and vendors, markets to manufacturers who must conform to 
EMC regs worldwide, and for all practical purposes, as far as their 
components go, that's VHF.

In 2003, when I began my original research on EMC to audio systems, the 
marketing folks who I asked for engineering samples sent me everything I 
asked for, which was five pieces of several dozen parts. After 4-5 
months, I asked them for 2.4-in toroids in #31, based on my initial 
work, but it wasn't in the catalog, 6-8 weeks later, they called and 
asked if I'd like 5 pieces of an initial sample run. The rest is 
history. On the basis of that original publication (to the AES) in 2005, 
and subsequent publication of k9yc.com/RFI-Ham.pdf they eventually 
started publishing impedance curves for selected suppression products 
for 1, 2, and 3 turns.

In 2020, when I asked for engineering samples of #75 material to 
research chokes for the two new MF and LF bands, I ran into a brick 
wall. Back in 2003-05, Fair-Rite was owned and run by a husband and wife 
team who had started the biz, I think. She was the EE, he was the ChemE. 
I met them at an IEEE EMC conference in Chicago in 2005. They retired a 
year or two later, although from what I've seen online 5-10 years ago, 
they (and/or their family) retained ownership. Their retirement seems to 
have been the end of engineering management.
