Efficient Noise Suppression – VITROPERM 550 HF
Nanocrystalline Cores offer Volume, Weight and cost optimized HF-designs
VITROPERM® 550 HF is the latest addition to the family of nanocrystalline alloys that are characterized by outstanding properties. The newly developed alloy enables next-generation components with optimized size and weight, especially for HF-noise reduction. Cores made from this alloy enable high RFI-noise suppression, particularly, in the HF-range in innovative filter designs with higher performance for future applications.
Benefits:
- Significantly reduced volume/weight due to improved HF-properties
- Superior HF-attenuation compared to standard VP 500 F
- Low core losses due to lower eddy currents
- Excellent thermal stability over a wide temperature range

A Superior EMC Solution
VITROPERM alloys are optimized to combine highest permeability and lowest coercive field strength. The combination of very thin tapes and the relatively high electrical resistance (1.1 - 1.2 µΩm) ensures minimal eddy current losses and an outstanding frequency vs. permeability behaviour. Combined with a saturation flux density of 1.2 T and a wide operational temperature range, these features make VITROPERM a universal solution for most common EMC problems and vastly superior in many aspects to commonly used ferrites and amorphous iron materials.
By utilising low-cost raw materials (Fe-based) and modern, large-scale production, VITROPERM is a very competitive solution for a wide range of applications.
