Slug/Rod Core
Available in lengths up to 2″, are primarily used as antennas, chokes, inductors, and filters in radio applications (RFID). They can be easily formed from a wide range of materials to meet your frequency and application requirements. Diameters, typically < 1″, can be held to tight tolerances with centerless grinding. Length to diameter ratios of ~7:1 required for structural integrity, otherwise different forming techniques necessary (ie. extrusion or isostatic pressing). Refer to Effective Permeability of Rods for relationship between material permeability and length to diameter ratio.

- Material (-X): prefix for NiZn (ie. M-919) or suffix for MnZn (ie. SC-919-M20)
- Length: made to order (shorter available, maximum listed)
- Tolerances (dimensional): ±2% (nominal value may vary based on material choice)
- Tolerance (magnetic): Inductance ±10% & Q: -20%
- Grinding: available for tighter tolerances
- Tooling: call if require different size, for other SLUG configurations also see PLATE/DISC, FERRITE: EXTRUDED or FERRITE MACHINED (CUSTOM CORES)
