Planar (EI, EE) Cores are ideal for making gapped inductor cores where fringing losses must be carefully considered due to their design. They offer no wasted space but are priced slightly higher than other cores. These cores are available in a variety of sizes such as EE1804P and EE6430P. Common applications for Planar (EI, EE) Cores are differential inductors and DC/DC, AC/DC converters.
Pros
- Useful for gapped inductor cores where fringing losses must be carefully considered
- No wasted space
Cons
- Cost
Applications
- Differential inductors and DC/DC, AC/DC converter
