EMI Cores
ESD-FPL Series Solid Cores for Flat Cables
for High Frequency (Bare)
Overview
The KEMET ESD-FPL Series solid cores are designed for
use on flat cables. A wide range of Nickel Zinc (NiZn)
options are available in bare type and allows for targeting of
specific high frequency ranges.
EMI cores are part of a family of passive components which
address the issues of noise or electromagnetic interference
(EMI) in circuits or systems.
Applications
• Office equipment
• Home appliances
• Inkjet printers
• Consumer electronics
• Industrial equipment
• Test and measurement equipment
• Medical equipment
• Audio-visual equipment
Benefits
• NiZn ≤ 300 MHz (FM band range) options available
• Solid construction
• Wide range of products available
• Thin and minimal gap solutions available

Core Material and Effective Frequency Range
There are two ferrite material options for KEMET
EMI Cores: Nickel-Zinc (NiZn) and Manganese
Zinc (MnZn). Each core material has a different
resistance and effective frequency range. The
MnZn core material has a lower resistance
compared to the NiZn; therefore, adequate
insulation is required before use.
The NiZn core material is typically effective for
frequencies in the MHz band range such as the
FM-band, while the MnZn core material is typically
effective for the kHz band range such as the AM-
band. See Figure 1.
It is recommended to measure the actual
frequency range effectiveness in the target
application.

Magnetic Permeability of Ferrite Material
In order to achieve most efficient noise reduction, it is important to select the material according to the target frequency
band. Depending on its magnetic permeability, a particular ferrite material will be effective in a certain frequency band.
A schematic representation of the relationship between the magnetic permeability of each material and the corresponding
effective band range is shown in Figure 1. Materials with higher magnetic permeability are effective in the lower frequency
range, while those with lower magnetic permeability are effective in the higher frequency range. Thus, Mn-Zn products are
mainly used for reducing conduction noise, while Ni-Zn products are commonly used for radiation noise countermeasures.
The effective frequency range varies depending on core shape, size and number of windings. This frequency dependence
of the magnetic permeability as shown in the figure serves for reference purposes only and it should be tested on the actual
device to determine its effectiveness.
S18H, S15H, 10H, 7H, 5H, 1400L and 700L are KEMET’s proprietary ferrite material names.
Other materials can also be available on request.
