EMI Core
ESD-SR-H/HL Series Snap-on Cores for Round Cables
with High Heat Resistance and Cable Holding Mechanism
Overview
The KEMET ESD-SR-H/HL Series
snap-on cores feature high heat
resistance and a cable holding
mechanism designed specically for
round cable. KEMET’s unique core
material enables high performance in
low frequency range.

Turns and Impedance Characteristics
When the desired performance of an EMI core cannot be
obtained with a single pass through the core, the impedance
characteristics can be changed with multiple turns.
A turn is counted by the number of lead-wire windings which pass
through the inner hole of the core. Windings on the outside of the
core do not count. See Figure 1 for examples of one, two, and
three turns.
Adding turns will result in higher impedance while also lowering
the effective frequency range. See Figure 2 for an example.
Core Material and Effective Frequency
Range
There are two ferrite material options for KEMET
EMI Cores: Nickel-Zinc (Ni-Zn) and Manganese-
Zinc (Mn-Zn). Each core material has a different
resistance and effective frequency range. The Mn-
Zn core material has lower resistance compared to
the Ni-Zn; therefore, be sure to provide adequate
insulation before use.
For reference, the Ni-Zn core material is typically
effective for the frequencies in the MHz band
range such as the FM-band, while the Mn-Zn core
material is typically effective for the kHz band
range such as the AM-band. See Figure 3.
It is recommended to verify actual effectiveness in
the target application with measurements.

Ring Type
There are two materials of ferrite, Ni-Zn series and Mn-Zn ser ies. Ni-Zn series is e
ive for kHz band range.
Note that above e band range i s a reference only. Examination of s
with actual instrument is necessary.
As Mn-Zn series has lower resistance compared to Ni-Zn series, make sure to provide
adequate insulation before use.
Characteristics and how to count turns
Number of turns are counted by how many times the lead wire pa sses through the inner
hole of the core. Do not count the number of lead wire winding outside the core, as it results
When desired performance can not be obtained just b y 1 turn, impedance characteristics
value can be raised b y increasing th e turn. In this case, the e frequency band should
be checked that it is in the desired range as adding turns resu lts in lowering down the
