EMI Cores
ESD-SR-H/HL Snap-on Cores for Round Cables for
High Frequency (with High Heat Resistance & Cable
Holding Mechanism case)
Overview
The KEMET ESD-SR-H/HL Series snap-on toroidal
cores feature high heat resistance and a cable holding
mechanism designed specifically for round cables.
KEMET’s unique core material enables high performance in
high frequency range.
EMI cores are part of a family of passive components which
address the issues of noise or electromagnetic interference
(EMI) in circuits or systems.

(with High Heat Resistance & Cable Holding Mechanism case)
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
MnZn core material has a lower resistance
compared to the Ni-Zn; therefore, adequate
insulation is required before use.
The Ni-Zn core material is typically effective
for 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 measure the actual
frequency range effectiveness in the target
application.

Magnetic Permeability of Ferrite Material
In order to achieve efficient noise reduction, it is important to select the material according to the target frequency
band. Depending on its magnetic permeability, a particular ferrite material or metal material will be effective in a certain
frequency band. A schematic representation of the relationship between the magnetic permeability of each material and the
corresponding effective band range is shown in Figure 4.
Materials with higher magnetic permeability are effective in the lower frequency range, while those with lower magnetic
permeability are effective in the higher frequency range. Thus, Mn-Zn products are mainly used for reducing conduction
noise, while Ni-Zn products are commonly used for radiation noise countermeasures. Metal materials, however, are effective
throughout the broadband frequency range, in low as well as high frequencies.
The effective frequency range varies depending on core shape, size, and number of turns. This frequency dependence of the
magnetic permeability as shown in the figure serves for reference purposes only. It should be tested on the actual device to
determine its effectiveness.
S18H, S15H, 10H, 7H, 7HT, 5H, 5HT, 1400L, and 700L are KEMET’s proprietary ferrite material names. Other materials are
available upon request.
