EMI Cores
ESD-R-NC Toroidal Nanocrystal Cores for Round Cables
for Low & High Frequency (with case & with fixing base)
Overview
Applications
The KEMET ESD-R-NC Series solid toroidal cores are
designed for use on round cables. KEMET’s nanocrystal
material allows effective noise suppression in a wide
frequency range, which is an impressive solution for any
conducted or radiated noise in the kHz to MHz regions.
The base type allows fixing the core in the application to
avoid contact with other components or stabilizing the
cables, and in addition the base’s structure can connect the
cores together for make it even easier to install.

EMI cores are part of a family of passive components which
address the issues of noise or electromagnetic interference
(EMI) in circuits or systems.

Turns and Impedance Characteristics
Figure 1 – How to count turns
When the desired performance of an EMI core cannot be
obtained with a single pass through the core, the impedance
characteristics can be changed with multiple turns.
A turn is counted by the number of lead-wire windings which pass
through the inner hole of the core. Windings on the outside of the
core do not count.

(Representative example: ESD-R-16C)
See Figure 1 for examples of one, two, and three turns.

Adding turns will result in higher impedance while also lowering
the effective frequency range.
See Figure 2 for an example.

Magnetic Permeability of Ferrite Material
In order to achieve most efficient noise reduction, it is important to select the material according to the target frequency
band. Depending on its magnetic permeability, a particular ferrite material or metal material will be effective in a certain
frequency band. A schematic representation of the relationship between the magnetic permeability of each material and the
corresponding effective band range is shown in Figure 4.
Ferrite materials with higher magnetic permeability are effective in the lower frequency range, while those with lower
magnetic permeability are effective in the higher frequency range. Thus, Mn-Zn products are mainly used for reducing
conduction noise, while Ni-Zn products are commonly used for radiation noise countermeasures. Metal materials on the
other hand are effective throughout the broadband frequency range, in low as well as high frequencies.
The effective frequency range varies depending on core shape, size and number of turns. This frequency dependence of the
magnetic permeability as shown in the figure serves for reference purposes only and it should be tested on the actual device
to determine its effectiveness.
S18H, S15H, 10H, 7H, 5H, 1400L and 700L are KEMET’s proprietary ferrite material names.
Other materials can also be available on request.

Handling Precautions
EMI Cores should be stored in normal working environments. While the EMI Cores themselves are quite robust in other
environments, avoid exposure to high temperatures, high humidity, corrosive atmospheres and long term storage for case,
snap-on and split types.
KEMET recommends that maximum storage temperature not exceed 40°C and maximum storage humidity not exceed 75%
relative humidity. Atmospheres should be free of chlorine, sulfur and alkali bearing compounds. Avoid also storage near
strong magnetic fields as this might magnetize the product.
Temperature fluctuations should be minimized to avoid condensation or cracks on the parts. Mechanical shocks can bring
to cracks as well.
Export Control
For customers in Japan
For products that are controlled items subject to the “Foreign Exchange and Foreign Trade Law” of Japan, the export license
specified by the law is required for export.
For customers outside Japan
EMI Core products should not be used or sold for use in the development, production, stockpiling or utilization of any
conventional weapons or mass-destructive weapons (nuclear weapons, chemical or biological weapons, or missiles), or any
other weapons.
