98 EFD CORE SET
EFD (Economical Flat Design) cores have been designed to maximize volume in a low profile geometry. EFD cores allow maximum throughput power density with reasonably low mass for board level installation.
EFD cores can be supplied with the center post gapped to a mechanical dimension or an ALvalue.
Weight indicated is per pair or set.
