This compilation is for pre-selecting an appropriate toroid material for balun transformers, tuning coils and filters. Choose your application's frequency and the corresponding Q factor needed to open the datasheet of a fitting material.Just click on the material designation.
Ferrite materials of the following manufacturers are included:
Amidon
(Amidon (Micrometals) iron powder)

How this survey was compiled
For your coil/filter design, try to keep clear of the steep rise in loss (μ"). In most cases, the safe area is to the left of the Q=100 mark.
