EMI Cores
ESD-R Toroidal Cores for Round Cables for
Low & High Frequency (Bare, coated & with case)
Overview
The KEMET ESD-R series solid toroidal cores are designed
to use on round cables. The wide range of Manganese Zinc
(MnZn) and Nickel Zinc (NiZn) options are available in bare,
coated, and case types and allows for targeting of specific
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.

Turns and Impedance Characteristics
When the desired performance of an EMI core cannot be
obtained with a single pass through the core, the impedance
characteristics can be changed with multiple turns.
A turn is counted by the number of lead-wire windings which pass
through the inner hole of the core. Windings on the outside of the
core do not count.
See Figure 1 for examples of one, two, and three turns.
Adding turns will result in higher impedance while also lowering
the effective frequency range.
See Figure 2 for an example.

Core Material and Effective Frequency Range
There are two ferrite material options for KEMET
EMI Cores: Nickel Zinc (Ni-Zn) and Manganese
Zinc (Mn-Zn). Each core material has a different
resistance and effective frequency range. The
MnZn core material has a lower resistance
compared to the Ni-Zn; therefore, adequate
insulation is required before use.
The Ni-Zn core material is typically effective
for frequencies in the MHz band range such as
the FM-band, while the Mn-Zn core material is
typically effective for the kHz band range such as
the AM-band. See Figure 3.
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.
