RM Cores offer the advantage of 40% saving in the mounting area in comparison to Pot cores. However, one of their drawbacks is that they precisely offer route winding for proper isolation. They are available in a variety of sizes such as RM10, RM12, RM6, and RM8. Common applications for RM cores are differential inductors, power inductors, filter inductors, telecom inductors, and broadband transformers.
