Marking on ferrite cores

IEC 61333:2019 specifies marking locations and a coding system of marking on ferrite cores. An alphanumerical marking printed or attached to cores reduces the risk of incorrect assembly, mixing of materials and/or mixing of gapped cores on an assembly line. The markings of the inductance factor AL value or of the gap length are especially important to avoid this kind of problem, and their coding system is specified in this document.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition：
a) the title of the document was changed;
b) the scope of this document was expanded;
c) the marking position instructions for ring cores, planar cores, RM-cores, PQ-cores and pot-cores were added in Clause 4 with a few additional descriptions;
d) the four-digit-maximum limit of material identification code has been deleted in 5.2;
e) in Table 1, the unit of AL has been changed from "nH" to "nH/N2".

Marquage des noyaux ferrites

L'IEC 61333:2019 spécifie les emplacements de marquage et un système de codification pour le marquage des noyaux ferrites. Un marquage alphanumérique imprimé ou fixé sur les noyaux réduit le risque de mauvais assemblage, de mélange de matériaux et/ou de mélange de noyaux à entrefer sur les lignes d'assemblage. Les marquages de la valeur de l'inductance spécifique AL ou de la longueur d'entrefer sont particulièrement importants pour éviter ce type de problème, et leur système de codification est spécifié dans le présent document.
Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente:
a) le titre du document a été modifié;
b) le domaine d'application du présent document a été étendu;
c) les instructions concernant les emplacements de marquage des noyaux toroïdaux, planaires, RM, PQ et P ont été ajoutées à l'Article 4, ainsi que plusieurs descriptions complémentaires;
d) la limite à quatre éléments au maximum pour le code d'identification du matériau a été supprimée en 5.2;
e) dans le Tableau 1, l'unité utilisée pour la valeur AL n'est plus "nH" et a été remplacée par "nH/N2".

MARKING ON FERRITE CORES

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 a
