Flexible Ferrites

Fair-Rite Products offers NiZn flexible ferrite in six initial permeabilities. Useful in the mitigation of radiated emissions, flexible ferrite sheets are available in thicknesses ranging from 0.1mm to 0.5mm . Two standard sizes are available, 60mm x 60mm, and 120mm x 120mm, custom shapes available as die-cut. All flexible ferrite sheets come with an adhesive PET backing useful for surface application. Shielding effectiveness (SE) will increase with material thickness and permeability. Secondary uses of flexible ferrite include its ability to direct the magnetic field in wireless charging applications. Placement of a flexible ferrite sheet between the antenna and a conductive metallic surface will reduce eddy currents and losses thereby increase power transfer efficiency. The M6 material will supply the most attenuation below 50 MHz. The M4 type grade has been effectively used for A4WP (6.78 MHz) and NFC/RFID (13.56 MHz); the advantage with the M4 materials is lower loss (µ'') - thus reducing detuning of the antenna. The M3, M2 and M1 material grades build on this lower loss advantage at higher frequency where reactive permeability (µ') is desired but the resistive component of the permeability (µ'') is not.

These RoHS compliant sheets come “scored” in a 2mm x 2mm rectangular grid.
The recommended operating temperature is -40º to +85ºC and the typical thermal conductivity is 6 watt / m-ºC.
Storage Temperature : -40º to +85ºC, suggested shelf life is one year;
however shelf life may be extended by storage at 22 – 25ºC and 45-55% RH avoiding light and dust.

Used primarily for suppressive applications, the amount of noise that is absorbed at higher frequencies
is proportional to the resistive component of the permeability (μ’’) and the thickness of the ferrite.
The operational frequencies can range from below 1 MHz into the GHz range, making it ideal for a multitude of applications.
