Nippon Chemi-Con continues to lead the industry in high-performance passive components. Its next-generation nanocrystalline magnetic material technology delivers significantly superior electromagnetic interference (EMI) suppression and energy efficiency compared to conventional ferrite-based solutions.
What Is Nanocrystalline?
Nanocrystalline materials are magnetic alloys built on an amorphous structure containing crystals sized between 10 and 100 nm. This unique structure provides exceptional improvements in magnetic performance:
Higher saturation magnetic flux density (Bₘ)
Stable relative permeability (μᵣ) across a wide temperature range
Enhanced EMI suppression performance
Compact and lightweight design advantages
Why Choose Nanocrystalline Instead of Ferrite?
Ferrite-core inductors have long been widely used; however, nanocrystalline materials offer superior performance both electrically and mechanically:
While ferrite materials typically exhibit a saturation flux density of around 0.5 Tesla, nanocrystalline materials exceed 1.2 Tesla
Permeability levels can range between 15,000 and 30,000, enabling higher impedance in smaller form factors
Higher temperature tolerance improves reliability in automotive and industrial applications
FL-V Series: The Peak of Performance and Miniaturization
The FL-V series common-mode chokes developed by Nippon Chemi-Con utilize nanocrystalline core technology, delivering multiple advantages over comparable ferrite-based products:
Up to 70% size reduction
Up to 50% weight reduction
40% lower DC resistance, resulting in reduced heat generation and lower energy losses
Lower parasitic capacitance, enabling effective filtering over a wider frequency range
Broadband EMI suppression capability, ensuring stable performance even under harsh conditions
Application Areas
Thanks to nanocrystalline material technology, FL-V series inductors make a significant difference in many critical applications:
Power supplies (PFC circuits)
Automotive electronics
Industrial inverter systems
High-frequency EMI filtering
Telecommunications equipment
Technical Comparison
Comprehensive testing conducted by Nippon Chemi-Con demonstrates that the FL-V series significantly outperforms ferrite-based equivalents. Clear advantages are observed in terms of impedance, heat generation, volume, weight, and parasitic characteristics. Beyond performance gains, the FL-V series also enables savings in design space and energy losses.
