The following Ferroxcube E-core products will have a change in tooling design by introducing chamfers:
– E71/33/32
– E55/28/25
– E55/28/21
– E56/24/19
– E42/21/20
– E42/21/15
The change will be reflected in the visual appearance of the core. The chamfers will not affect functionality of the cores, however handling and winding properties are expected to improve.
Products with new appearance will be delivered gradually from March 2021 onwards depending on the inventory level of current cores. In the transition period both types of chamfers might be delivered together.
