Coil on a ferrite rod.


Calculating limitations:

  • The winding pitch cannot exceed the doubled wire diameter;
  • Coil diameter cannot be greater than the doubled diameter of the rod ;
  • Winding length should be less than 3/4 length of the rod;
  • When the coil is shifting it should not reach the edge of the core 1/8 of its length;
  • The initial magnetic permeability of the ferrite should be greater than 100;

You can download the cross-platform app Coil64 to calculate an inductance coil on a ferrite rod offline.

What does s – Shift from the rod center mean? Is it the gap between each wire in the winding (ie potentially 0mm)?
The shift (offset) from the center of the rod is the distance from the center of the rod (point of half: lf/2) to the center of the winding (lc/2). After all, we can move the coil along the rod.

However, I would like to note that we usually delete comments signed with a non-existent email without a response.
Why you limiting winding length be less than 3/4 length of the rod? I don't find this limition in G3RBJ's article.

I am trying to build a bandpass filter for 144-148 MHz and your calculator is very helpful. 73
