"Trouble is the ferrite is conductive and the core needs to be glued in place." Ferrite is not conductive. Iron core is. |
| T3sl4co1l:
Ferrite IS conductive; RTFDS. :) Specifically, MnZn ferrite is a semiconductor, with modest resistivity in the usual form. You'll measure on the order of 10s of kohms when you probe across a core. NiZn ferrite is also a semiconductor, but typically much higher resistivity (hmm, I'm not sure offhand if this is a bandgap thing, or a doping thing, or an impurities thing), in the megs range. Tim |
| coppercone2:
you can fail a leakage/emi test with inductor magnet wire shorted to core shorted to chassis if its chassis mount |

Here is a design for a GaN buck converter: |
