Width 4.5" (114 mm) 3.9" (99 mm)
Depth 4.5" (114 mm) 4.3" (109 mm)
Volume 35 in³ (226 cm³) 79 in³ (508 cm³)
Dimensional Adaptability All dimensions can be adjusted Limited by available dies
Weight 5 lb. (2.27 kg) 10 lb. (4.54 kg)
Mounting Requirements Single bolt through center Four corner bolts
Magnetizing Current 18.3 mA 160.0 mA
No-Load Loss 1.5 W 10 W
Continuity of Magnetic Path 100% parallel grain orientation 50% of grain perpendicular
Air Gaps None Approximately 180 (3 per lamination)
Magnetic Properties of Core Optimized prior to winding and remain stable Affected by clamping welding, banding, etc.
Coupling Factor Maximized by even winding distribution & close proximity to core Limited by bobbin width and layers of windings
Long-term Reliability Lifetime Warranty Thermal cycling and vibration steadily degrade performance
