Mechanical stress and mounting
Ferrite cores have to meet mechanical requirements during assembling and for a growing number
of applications. Since ferrites are ceramic materials one has to be aware of the special behavior
under mechanical load.
As valid for any ceramic material, ferrite cores are brittle and sensitive to any shock, fast tempera-
ture changing or tensile load. Especially high cooling rates under ultrasonic cleaning and high static
or cyclic loads can cause cracks or failure of the ferrite cores.
For detailed information see data book, chapter “General - Definitions, 8.1”.
Effects of core combination on AL value
Stresses in the core affect not only the mechanical but also the magnetic properties. It is apparent
that the initial permeability is dependent on the stress state of the core. The higher the stresses are
in the core, the lower is the value for the initial permeability. Thus the embedding medium should
have the greatest possible elasticity.
For detailed information see data book, chapter “General - Definitions, 8.1”.
Heating up
Ferrites can run hot during operation at higher flux densities and higher frequencies.
NiZn-materials
The magnetic properties of NiZn-materials can change irreversible in high magnetic fields.
Ferrite Accessories
EPCOS ferrite accessories have been designed and evaluated only in combination with EPCOS
ferrite cores. EPCOS explicitly points out that EPCOS ferrite accessories or EPCOS ferrite cores
may not be compatible with those of other manufacturers. Any such combination requires prior te-
sting by the customer and will be at the customer‘s own risk.
EPCOS assumes no warranty or reliability for the combination of EPCOS ferrite accessories with
cores and other accessories from any other manufacturer.
Processing remarks
The start of the winding process should be soft. Else the flanges may be destroyed.
Too strong winding forces may blast the flanges or squeeze the tube that the cores can not be
mounted any more.
Too long soldering time at high temperature (>300 °C) may effect coplanarity or pin arrange-
ment.
Not following the processing notes for soldering of the J-leg terminals may cause solderability
problems at the transformer because of pollution with Sn oxyde of the tin bath or burned insula-
tion of the wire. For detailed information see chapter “Processing notes”, section 2.2.
The dimensions of the hole arrangement have fixed values and should be understood as
a recommendation for drilling the printed circuit board. For dimensioning the pins, the group
of holes can only be seen under certain conditions, as they fit into the given hole arrangement.
To avoid problems when mounting the transformer, the manufacturing tolerances for positioning
the customers’ drilling process must be considered by increasing the hole diameter.

Display of ordering codes for EPCOS products
The ordering code for one and the same product can be represented differently in data sheets,
data books, other publications and the website of EPCOS, or in order-related documents such as
shipping notes, order confirmations and product labels. The varying representations of the
ordering codes are due to different processes employed and do not affect the
specifications of the respective products. Detailed information can be found on the Internet
under www.epcos.com/orderingcodes.

Important notes
The following applies to all products named in this publication:
1. Some parts of this publication contain statements about the suitability of our products for certain areas
of application. These statements are based on our knowledge of typical requirements that are often placed
on our products in the areas of application concerned. We nevertheless expressly point out that such
statements cannot be regarded as binding statements about the suitability of our products for a
particular customer application. As a rule we are either unfamiliar with individual customer applications or
less familiar with them than the customers themselves. For these reasons, it is always ultimately incumbent
on the customer to check and decide whether a product with the properties described in the product
specification is suitable for use in a particular customer application.
2. We also point out that in individual cases, a malfunction of electronic components or failure before
the end of their usual service life cannot be completely ruled out in the current state of the art, even
if they are operated as specified. In customer applications requiring a very high level of operational safety
and especially in customer applications in which the malfunction or failure of an electronic component could
endanger human life or health (e.g. in accident prevention or life-saving systems), it must therefore be
ensured by means of suitable design of the customer application or other action taken by the customer (e.g.
installation of protective circuitry or redundancy) that no injury or damage is sustained by third parties in the
event of malfunction or failure of an electronic component.
3. The warnings, cautions and product-specific notes must be observed.
4. In order to satisfy certain technical requirements, some of the products described in this publication
may contain substances subject to restrictions in certain jurisdictions (e.g. because they are
classed as hazardous). Useful information on this will be found in our Material Data Sheets on the Internet
(www.tdk-electronics.tdk.com/material). Should you have any more detailed questions, please contact our
sales offices.
5. We constantly strive to improve our products. Consequently, the products described in this publication
may change from time to time. The same is true of the corresponding product specifications. Please
check therefore to what extent product descriptions and specifications contained in this publication are still
applicable before or when you place an order.
We also reserve the right to discontinue production and delivery of products. Consequently, we
cannot guarantee that all products named in this publication will always be available. The aforementioned
does not apply in the case of individual agreements deviating from the foregoing for customer-specific
products.
6. Unless otherwise agreed in individual contracts, all orders are subject to our General Terms and
Conditions of Supply.
7. Our manufacturing sites serving the automotive business apply the IATF 16949 standard. The IATF
certifications confirm our compliance with requirements regarding the quality management system in the
automotive industry. Referring to customer requirements and customer specific requirements (“CSR”) TDK
always has and will continue to have the policy of respecting individual agreements. Even if IATF 16949
may appear to support the acceptance of unilateral requirements, we hereby like to emphasize that only
requirements mutually agreed upon can and will be implemented in our Quality Management
System. For clarification purposes we like to point out that obligations from IATF 16949 shall only become
legally binding if individually agreed upon.
