When to choose this size

Choose CCNT-020-012-010-LFBL when you need this 20×12×10 mm powder-coated toroid. Use the bare dimensions for the magnetic path and the finished inner diameter (11.7 mm) for winding clearance.

Winding notes

Magnetic calculations should use the bare 20×12×10 mm geometry (Ae 0.33 cm², Le 5.03 cm, stacking factor 0.82). AL is one turn through the window (Kelvin clips) at 0.3 V: 19 µH at 1 kHz, 15 µH at 10 kHz, and 2 µH at 100 kHz. This is not a 2 mT small-signal AL. At 1 kHz this drive saturates the smaller cores. Size the winding to the finished ID 11.7 mm, not the 12 mm bare ID. Saturation is 1.25 T. Core continuous temperature is -40°C to +150°C. Powder-coat temperature class is not published.

Frequently asked questions

Are the stated dimensions bare or finished?

The size in the product name is the bare core (20×12×10 mm). Finished coated size is 20.3×11.7×10.3 mm.

How was AL measured?

One turn: Kelvin clips through the window at 0.3 V. AL is 19 µH at 1 kHz, 15 µH at 10 kHz, and 2 µH at 100 kHz. This is not a 2 mT small-signal AL. At 1 kHz this drive saturates the smaller cores. Verify inductance on the wound part.

Where is a core this size used?

This 20×12×10 mm powder-coated toroid is used for compact current sensing and small transformers. The 11.7 mm finished window clears a small primary conductor and a fine-wire secondary, which fits board-level current transformers, instrument sensing, and low-power auxiliary or gate-drive transformers.
