FERRITE COMPONENTS
FOR TV & VCR USE
An integrated maker of ferrites and ferrite
products, FDK has developed many ferrite
materials, and produces a wide selection of
ferrite cores and core products. This catalog
specifically introduces FDK deflection yoke
cores, flyback transformer cores, and rotary
transformers.

FERRITE CORES FOR DEFLECTION YOKE
The growing demand for a greater image clarity and
definition in television images has made necessary an
improvement in ferrite cores for deflection yoke. With
the advances in the ferrite technology, FDK has devel-
oped H44V ferrite materials with lower core loss than
H44F. H44V material supplements the existing H44
and H44F widely used in many types of televisions.
FDK also has introduced DS1 ferrite materials suitable
for high quality picture displays with high horizontal
scanning frequency.
Although this catalog presents standard FDK ferrites
and ferrite products, only FDK can design and produce
any type of customized core on a made-to-order basis,
and welcomes inquiries for custom-design cores.

FERRITE CORES FOR FLYBACK TRANSFORMER
5H20 ferrite materials have been best-seller for tele-
vision flyback transformer cores for many years.
5H30 ferrite materials have been used for display
flyback transformer cores and characterized as
smaller core loss than 5H20.
Besides, FDK had begun the sale of flyback trans-
former cores using the brand-new 5H40 ferrite
materials with a remarkably reduced core loss
enable the development of high-resolution displays.

ROTARY TRANSFORMERS
In VCRs, high-frequency video signals are recorded
on, and replayed from a magnetic tape by a high-
speed revolving drum equipped with a magnetic
head. The rotary transformer is fitted onto this
revolving drum to transmit the high-frequency sig-
nals without distortion from the rotor to the stator.
The use of rotary transformers is now extending to
DAT (digital audio tape), DVC (digital video camera)
and D-VHS.

Standard characteristics and product list of FDK rotary transformers
Taking full advantage of its long experience as an inte-
grated ferrite maker, FDK selects only the most suitable
ferrite materials for rotary transformers.
FDK rotary transformers incorporate cores with an out-
standing dimensional precision backed by sophisticated
processing and production technologies. FDK’s high
quality rotary transformers are mass-produced in over-
seas factories.
Upon the request of customers, FDK promptly designs
and produces test sample products.
* FDKs product development and design services for
customers are aided by a supercomputer simulation
system to ensure that the exact needs of each cus-
tomer are fully met.

Working mechanism of rotary transformers
Rotary transformers are designed to transmit electric signals
from a rotating body to a fixed body, or from a fixed body to a
rotating body. In this regards, (a) it is not possible to use lead
wires to transmit electric signals between a rotating and a fixed
body; (b) although theoretically possible, if a spring and brush
used in motors are applied to this task, noise problems will arise
due to the very weak signals and a very high MHz-level fre-
quency involved.
Consequently, a rotary transformer was created, which could
transmit magnetic fields generated between a rotor and a sta-
tor, through a ferrite material (see righthand diagram). In this
diagram, the performance of the magnetic circuit depends
almost totally on the precision of the air gap. In conventional
VCRs, the air gap is set between 30µm and 50µm.

Electric circuits of rotary transformers
The righthand diagram shows the electric circuit of a revolving
magnetic head drum for VCRs, and each VCR incorporates as
many electric circuits of this type as needed to match the num-
ber of television channels. These electric circuits have the fol-
lowing characteristics:
qIf the coupling coefficient is 1, the power on the rotor side
and the power on the stator side are considered equal.
wThe ratio of the voltages applied to the both ends of the
rotary transformer is identical to the winding ratio.
eThe values shown in the righthand diagram were measured
when the VCR was in the recording mode. The values would
be even smaller for the replay mode.
rThe voltage, current and power values shown in the right-
hand diagram vary somewhat, depending on the frequencies
and models of rotary transformers involved.
