POT Cores offer the benefit of lowest leakage inductance and high Q. They provide perfect isolation from stray magnetic fields and are built with temperature stable inductance. These cores have a complicated gapping process to maintain AL value. They are available in a variety of sizes such as P0903, P1408, P1811, P2213, P2616, P3019, P3019A, P3422H, and P3622. Common applications for Pot cores are broadband and narrow transformers and telecom inductors, power transformers, and power inductors.
