The APM series, made from nanocrystalline alloys, are soft magnetic powder cores with a saturation flux density of 1.20Tesla. Among all the metal powder cores, this series shows the lowest power losses, enabling your application to increase its efficiency. The nearly zero magnetostriction avoids audible noise generation whilst the high-temperature stability helps to maintain the performances in all working conditions. Available with four permeabilities: 26, 60, 90, and 125.
Target applications are PFC chokes and output filter chokes on a wide range of power supplies.
