Carbonyl/Sponge Powdered Iron

Used as a core material in RF circuits requiring high Q inductors from 50kHz to 500 MHz and broadband transformers above 50 MHz. Also available loaded into a rigid, resin matrix for use as a microwave absorber in coax or waveguide loads, attenuators, chokes and other dissipative elements for use from 100 kHz to over 40 GHz.
