Not all toroids are created equal. Each toroid offers many benefits that you cannot achieve using standard transformers, but that does not mean that a toroid should be used interchangeably. From custom coil winding to core material selection, your custom design toroids must meet exact specifications for application and size.

Toroidal transformers are used because they are small without sacrificing the power of effectiveness. Although hidden inside devices, these transformers are found in a wide range of industries and applications. It is easy to notice a toroid because of its signature doughnut shape. Toroidal transformers offer distinct benefits not found in transformers of similar size. As a result of their size and performance characteristics, it is easy to see why toroids and custom coil winding is the ideal choice for electrical and industrial applications.

All electrical engineers and technicians encounter inductors regularly as a result of their work. Learning about inductance and related parameters ensures that systems run optimally. Even if you do not specialize in manufacturing inductors, it is important for those using them to have a basic understanding of their functions and operational principles.Read More

Regardless of the shape, a transformer accomplishes one main task: transferring power between two separate parts of an electrical circuit. Transformers create isolation while carrying varying voltage and currents. A transformer is an integral part of most electronic systems.Read More

Knowing the differences between a toroid and a solenoid helps you create better and more efficient electronic devices. Each transformer type has pros and cons, and so they should not be used interchangeably. Picking the right transformer for your application is an utter necessity. Below, we want to go over some of the main differences between these core types.Read More

Transformers are an essential part of electronic devices because they can transfer power between two separate parts of an electrical circuit. These important devices are necessary for creating isolation while being able to handle varying voltage and current. Without a transformer, electrical systems we rely on every day would cease to function.Read More

When creating custom coil winding, you need to consider more than the intended use of the toroids. It is important to account for core material, packaging, and wire/winding. Below, we want to focus on the importance of custom coil winding and wire. Coil wire and winding is the most important component to determine. Once you plan, picking core packaging and core material becomes much easier.Read More

All transformers need a core to function, but not all cores are created equal. Different cores provide different characteristics to meet the varying demands of electronic devices (big and small). Do not use core interchangeably. The geometry and size of a core dictate power output. It also determines the current and voltage of the transformer. Once you choose a material, the next step is custom coil winding.Read More

It is obvious when you look at a toroid because it has a very specific shape. The 360-degree, doughnut-shaped core is made from ferromagnetic materials (iron powder, laminated iron, and more). The devices then go through custom coil winding before it is ready for use. Toroidal transformers are used within various applications that include power supplies, amplifiers, and inverters. In many cases, engineers choose toroidal transformers and custom coil winding over other conventional transformers.Read More

To ensure that your toroid meets its intended end use, you must consider three important design considerations. Taking the time to make these considerations ensures that you get the right device without wasting extra money and time. Below, we want to take the time to give an overview of the three considerations you should make for inductor design.Read More
