Motherboards and other circuits have some/many pass-through ferrite beads which I find very useful to recycle as RF-block inductors in my circuits. (snip) Unfortunately I have never been able to find any datasheet for those beads. (snip) Fair-rite makes many of these beads, and their catalog has some impedance versus frequency data for them: http://www.fair-rite.com/products.htm You can also roughly sort ferrite material roughly versus frequency capability by measuring the resistance with an ohm meter. Low frequency power types measure in the hundred or thousands of ohms between contact points, RF suppression types measure in the high kilo ohms, while high Q RF types measure in the meg ohms. Having a few known samples for calibration purposes helps. -- John Popelish |
