EMI Cores
B-20 Series Bead Cores
Overview
KEMET B-20 Series bead cores are
designed for use on round cable. The
wide range of Manganese Zinc (MnZn)
and Nickel Zinc (NiZn) options 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.
