Ferrite cores - Guidelines on dimensions and the limits of surface irregularities - Part 2: Pot-cores for use in telecommunications, power supply, and filter applications

IEC 63093-2:2020 specifies the dimensions that are of importance for mechanical interchangeability for a preferred range of pot-cores made of ferrite, and the dimensional limits for coil formers to be used with them, as well as the effective parameter values to be used in calculations involving them. It also gives guidelines on the allowable limits of surface irregularities applicable to pot-cores in accordance with the relevant generic specification.
The selection of core sizes and shapes for this document is based on the philosophy of including those sizes which are industrial standards, either by inclusion in a national standard, or by broad-based use in industry. See IEC 62317-1 for more detail concerning the philosophy of selecting core sizes to be included.
The general considerations upon which the design of this range of cores is based are given in Annex A.
This first edition cancels and replaces the first edition of IEC 62317-2 published in 2010. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition of IEC 62317-2:
a) addition of the limits of surface irregularities;
b) Table 4 and Table 5 are updated in accordance with IEC 60205:2016.

Noyaux ferrite - Lignes directrices relatives aux dimensions et limites des irrégularités de surface - Partie 2: Circuits magnétiques en pots utilisés dans des applications de télécommunications, d'alimentation électrique et de filtre

L'IEC 63093-2:2020 spécifie les dimensions importantes pour l'interchangeabilité mécanique d'une gamme préférentielle de circuits magnétiques en pots en ferrite, les limites dimensionnelles des corps de bobines à utiliser avec ces pots et les valeurs de paramètres efficaces à utiliser dans les calculs les concernant. Elle donne également les lignes directrices relatives aux limites acceptables des irrégularités de surface applicables aux circuits magnétiques en pots conformément à la spécification générique correspondante.
Le choix des tailles et formes de noyau pour le présent document repose sur la philosophie consistant à introduire les tailles qui correspondent à des normes industrielles, soit dans une norme nationale soit par une utilisation à grande échelle dans le secteur industriel. Voir l'IEC 62317-1 pour de plus amples informations relatives à ce principe de choix des tailles de noyau à inclure.
Les considérations générales sur lesquelles s'appuie la conception de cette gamme de noyaux sont données à l'Annexe A.
Cette première édition annule et remplace la première édition de l'IEC 62317-2 parue en 2010. Cette édition constitue une révision technique.
Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente de l'IEC 62317-2:
a) ajout des limites des irrégularités de surface;
b) le Tableau 4 et le Tableau 5 sont mis à jour conformément à l'IEC 60205:2016.

FERRITE CORES – GUIDELINES ON DIMENSIONS
AND THE LIMITS OF SURFACE IRREGULARITIES –

Part 2: Pot-cores for use in telecommunications,
power supply, and filter applications

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 63093-2 has been prepared by technical committee 51: Magnetic
components, ferrite and magnetic powder materials.
This first edition cancels and replaces the first edition of IEC 62317-2 published in 2010. This

FERRITE CORES – GUIDELINES ON DIMENSIONS
AND THE LIMITS OF SURFACE IRREGULARITIES –

Part 2: Pot-cores for use in telecommunications,
power supply, and filter applications

1 Scope
This part of IEC 63093 specifies the dimensions that are of importance for mechanical
interchangeability for a preferred range of pot-cores made of ferrite, and the dimensional
limits for coil formers to be used with them, as well as the effective parameter values to be
used in calculations involving them. It also gives guidelines on the allowable limits of surface
irregularities applicable to pot-cores in accordance with the relevant generic specification.
The selection of core sizes and shapes for this document is based on the philosophy of
including those sizes which are industrial standards, either by inclusion in a national standard,
or by broad-based use in industry. See IEC 62317-1 for more detail concerning the philosophy
of selecting core sizes to be included.
The general considerations upon which the design of this range of cores is based are given in
Annex A.
2 Normative references

5.3 Chips and ragged edges
5.3.1 General
The minimum area is taken as 0,5 mm , to be distinguishable to the naked eye.
5.3.2 Chips and ragged edges on the mating surfaces
The areas of the chips located on the mating surfaces (Chip 1 and Chip 1' irregularities in
Figure 5) shall not exceed the following limits:
– the cumulative area of the chips shall be less than 4 % of the total mating surface
(whether gapped or ungapped);
– the total length of the ragged edges shall be less than 25 % of the perimeter of the
relevant mating surface.
5.3.3 Chips and ragged edges on the other surfaces
The allowable areas of chips on the other surfaces are doubled as compared to the limits for
the mating surface (see Figure 5, Chip 1”).
The rule for ragged edges is the same as that for the mating surface.
Chips and ragged edges are not acceptable on the inner edges of the wire slot area.

Figure 5 – Chips location for pot-cores
The area and length references of irregularities for visual inspection are given in Table 7.

5.4 Cracks
A single continuous crack which intersects the perimeter of the relevant surface at two points
is not acceptable (see S1, S1’ and S1” irregularities in Figure 6).
The limits for cracks at various locations shown in Figure 6 and Figure 7 are given in Table 8.

The crack of the cores without a centre hole shall be 50 % or less of the diameter of the centre-pole.

5.5 Pull-out, crystallite and pore locations
Figure 8 shows examples of the locations of a pull-out, crystallite and pore on a pot core:
– the cumulative area of pull-outs on the bottom surface of the core shall be less than 25 %
of the total respective surface area (including wire-way areas for the bottom surface);
– the single area of the crystallite located on any surface shall be less than 2 % of the
respective surface area;
– the cumulative area of the crystallites located on any surface shall be less than 4 % of the
respective surface area;
– the number of pores located on the same surface shall not exceed two; the total number of
pores located on all surfaces shall not exceed five;
– a hole with an area larger than 1 mm on any surface is not acceptable.

Figure 8 – Pull-out, crystallite and pore locations
5.6 Flash
Figure 9 shows an example of the location of a flash on the pot-core:

– there shall be no flash extending from the core into the wire slot.

Annex A

Pot-core design
The pot-cores covered by this document were originally designed for optimum dimensions
based upon minimum loss R /L. Before optimizing for performance, the following hole
dc
diameter ranges were chosen:
– 0,95 mm to 1,05 mm for P5,8/3,3
– 1,05 mm to 1,15 mm for P7,4/4,0
– 2,0 mm to 2,2 mm for P9/5, P11/7
– 3,0 mm to 3,2 mm for P14/8, P18/11
– 4,4 mm to 4,7 mm for P22/13
– 5,4 mm to 5,7 mm for P26/16, P30/19, P36/22
Originally a pot-core of 14 mm × 8 mm, with an adjusting device of 3 mm diameter, was the
smallest that could be produced in quantity.
Due to miniaturization of electronic devices, four smaller pot-cores, P7,4/4,0, P5,8/3,3,
P4,6/3,1 and P3,3/2,6 were added as standard pot-cores, and the larger pot-core P42/29 was
deleted.
The ratio of diameter to height of the pot-core, calculated on the above assumption, is fairly
constant, as appears from Table A.1, where A/2B lies between 1,48 and 1,76, except for the
smallest type.

P30/19 30,0 18,8 1,60
P36/22 35,6 21,7 1,64
The steps in the series are such that the ratio of R /L of two adjacent pot-cores is about 1,6.

AVANT-PROPOS
1) La Commission Electrotechnique Internationale (IEC) est une organisation mondiale de normalisation
composée de l'ensemble des comités électrotechniques nationaux (Comités nationaux de l’IEC). L’IEC a pour
objet de favoriser la coopération internationale pour toutes les questions de normalisation dans les domaines
de l'électricité et de l'électronique. A cet effet, l’IEC – entre autres activités – publie des Normes internationales,
des Spécifications techniques, des Rapports techniques, des Spécifications accessibles au public (PAS) et des
Guides (ci-après dénommés "Publication(s) de l’IEC"). Leur élaboration est confiée à des comités d'études, aux
travaux desquels tout Comité national intéressé par le sujet traité peut participer. Les organisations
internationales, gouvernementales et non gouvernementales, en liaison avec l’IEC, participent également aux
travaux. L’IEC collabore étroitement avec l'Organisation Internationale de Normalisation (ISO), selon des
conditions fixées par accord entre les deux organisations.
2) Les décisions ou accords officiels de l’IEC concernant les questions techniques représentent, dans la mesure
du possible, un accord international sur les sujets étudiés, étant donné que les Comités nationaux de l’IEC
intéressés sont représentés dans chaque comité d’études.
3) Les Publications de l’IEC se présentent sous la forme de recommandations internationales et sont agréées
comme telles par les Comités nationaux de l’IEC. Tous les efforts raisonnables sont entrepris afin que l’IEC
s'assure de l'exactitude du contenu technique de ses publications; l’IEC ne peut pas être tenue responsable de
l'éventuelle mauvaise utilisation ou interprétation qui en est faite par un quelconque utilisateur final.
4) Dans le but d'encourager l'uniformité internationale, les Comités nationaux de l’IEC s'engagent, dans toute la
mesure possible, à appliquer de façon transparente les Publications de l’IEC dans leurs publications nationales
et régionales. Toutes divergences entre toutes Publications de l’IEC et toutes publications nationales ou
régionales correspondantes doivent être indiquées en termes clairs dans ces dernières.
5) L’IEC elle-même ne fournit aucune attestation de conformité. Des organismes de certification indépendants
fournissent des services d'évaluation de conformité et, dans certains secteurs, accèdent
