Topband: Ferrite Cores

[Ron Stordahl, AE5E via Topband]

In this discussion two different ferrite mixes are mentioned:  #31 and #61.  


From the descriptions of these on the Fair-Rite web page, it appears that 31 would be more suitable for lower frequency applications.  


Is this the case?

Ron, AE5E

I agree with all those points, Jim! Over the years, professionally, we
designed many Fair-Rite, cores into most of our electricity, gas and water
meter and electricity load-management products and shipped millions of
Fair-Rite products in our devices.  Fair-Rite and Kreger are excellent
suppliers, and I still have many of their development kits around here.
Their products are excellent and very consistent

Lynne Frye, of Kreger, is a very helpful contact person, that I have worked
with over the years!

Have a good day!

The actual manufacturer of a 2.4-in o.d. #61 toroid  IS Fair-Rite. It is not
an "equivalent," #61 material is Fair-Rite's mix. Other companies may make a
"knock-off," but the REAL part is made by Fair-Rite.
