If a circuit (In this case a Switched moded supply) calls for an E-core that I cannot get in my country (Amidon), how do I find a suitable equivalent(Ferroxcube)? The core is not gapped, so I guess if the equivalent is not right I could saturate the core?
Which core values on the datasheets should match or be close to matching or is there a formula to follow?
Hi! You´ll have to search for a few specs. Size, AL (inductance for 1 turn), Bmáx, losses against frequency are the most important and should match the original core.
