Coil on a ferrite rod.
Calculating limitations:
- The winding pitch cannot exceed the doubled wire diameter;
- Coil diameter cannot be greater than the doubled diameter of the rod ;
- Winding length should be less than 3/4 length of the rod;
- When the coil is shifting it should not reach the edge of the core 1/8 of its length;
- The initial magnetic permeability of the ferrite should be greater than 100;

ENTER THE INPUT DATA:
Select units: | AWG → | SWG → |
L | = | – Required inductance |
Ferrite rod parameters:
lf = | – Length of the rod | |
df = | – Diameter of the rod | |
µ = | – Initial magnetic permeability |
Coil parameters:
dc = | – Diameter of the coil-former | ||
s = | – Shift from the rod center | ||
dw = | – Wire diameter | ||
p = | – Winding pitch |
RESULT:
N = | – Number of turns | |
µeff = | – Effective magnetic permeability of the rod | |
lc = | – Length of the winding |
