Introduction

Due to the manufacturing process and the physical characteristics of the product, ferrite cores may exhibit certain physical defects, such as chipping, irregular edges, etc.

Cracks, flash, and sticking. The tolerance for these surface defects is primarily determined by the type, location, and size of the defect, as well as the structure of the magnetic core.

GB/T 44069, "Guidelines for Limits of Dimensions and Surface Defects in Ferrite Cores," mainly specifies the core series (e.g., RM type cores, pot-shaped cores, etc.).

The limits of size and surface defects for E-type cores and toroidal cores, etc. GB/T 44069 is proposed to be divided into 15 parts.

---Part 1: General Specifications. The purpose is to establish general principles for the dimensional description and surface defect constraints of ferrite cores.

---Part 2: Pot Cores for Communication, Power Supply, and Filtering. The aim is to establish the dimensional and surface defect tolerances for pot cores.

---Part 3: Ferrite Semi-Canister Cores for Inductive Proximity Switches. The purpose is to determine the dimensions and surface defects of the semi-canister core.

Trapped to the limit.

---Part 4: RM Type Cores. The purpose is to establish the dimensional and surface defect tolerance limits for RM type cores.

---Part 5: EP-type magnetic cores and accessories for inductors and transformers. The purpose is to establish the dimensions and surface defects of EP-type magnetic cores.

Trapped to the limit.

---Part 6: ETD type magnetic cores for power supplies. The purpose is to establish the dimensional and surface defect tolerance limits for ETD type magnetic cores.

---Part 7: EER Type Cores. The purpose is to establish the dimensional and surface defect tolerance limits for EER type cores.

---Part 8: Type E Cores. The purpose is to establish the dimensional and surface defect tolerance limits for Type E cores.

---Part 9: Planar Magnetic Cores. The purpose is to establish the dimensions and permissible limits for surface defects in planar magnetic cores.

---Part 10: PM Type Cores and Accessories. The purpose is to establish the dimensional and surface defect tolerance limits for PM type cores.

---Part 11: EC Type Cores. The purpose is to establish the dimensional and surface defect tolerance limits for EC type cores.

---Part 12: Toroidal Cores. The purpose is to establish the dimensions and surface defect tolerance limits for toroidal cores.

---Part 13: PQ Type Cores. The purpose is to establish the dimensional and surface defect tolerance limits for PQ type cores.

---Part 14: EFD Type Cores. The purpose is to establish the dimensional and surface defect tolerance limits for EFD type cores.

---Part 15: U-shaped cores. The purpose is to establish the dimensional and surface defect tolerance limits for U-shaped cores.

PQ type magnetic cores, as mainstream supporting products for soft magnetic ferrites used in power power supplies, feature low loss, low temperature rise, and good anti-interference performance.

With advantages such as a wide power range, low assembly cost, and ease of meeting safety regulations, the product enjoys high market demand and a wide range of applications. However, due to the magnetic circuit design...

The timing and the significant difference between the magnetic core's geometric cross-sectional area and the theoretical value lead to discrepancies between actual performance (such as power loss) and theoretical values from different suppliers.

The size is relatively large. Therefore, formulating guidelines and standards for the limits of PQ-type magnetic core dimensions and surface defects is crucial to helping companies in this field improve their technical specifications and increase production capacity.

It is of great significance to improve product quality, standardize production and trading practices, and promote the healthy development of enterprises and even the industry.
