"Custom magnetics can be either custom shaped cores or custom windings and winding calculations. In either case, custom magnetics can help minimize the component's price and control parasitics." Kasra Latifi Fard Power Electronic Design Engineer, NanoStructured Coatings, Co. However, these fears can be assuaged by working with an experienced custom magnetics company. In many cases, a high-quality provider of custom magnetics will strive to use industry-standard components in its designs. This could include using industry-standard core materials, shapes, and sizes, with the novel aspects of the designs often boiling down to coil layout. This approach has the twofold benefit of making costs more affordable for customers as well as increasing the likelihood that other suppliers can replicate the design if need be. For these reasons, custom magnetics often tend to be more affordable and easier to source than many customers initially anticipate. Bourns helps customers develop custom magnetics that do the following: • Use industry-standard components when possible, helping drive down cost and sourcing issues • Can be built entirely from scratch, or simply require small tweaks to existing designs • Help balance design trade-offs and are optimized for the customer's unique system needs • Ensure a high level of efficiency, safety, and reliability • Are manufactured in key locations all over the world, including China, Mexico, and North Africa 18 I Custom Magnetics Custom magnetics could make sense where a standard off-the-shelf component does not meet the exact combination of electrical and mechanical values that the engineer is searching for.
