Toroidal transformers are often used in modern electronics because they are very efficient and cost effective. These small devices offer users many advantages, which include:Read More

It is not uncommon to become easily confused when using and buying a toroid. If you have not worked extensively with toroidal transformer and inductors, it is possible to get confused with practical aspects that are directly related to the devices. Read More

Toroidal transformers are frequently used because of their compact size and performance benefits. Toroids perform in a wide range of different applications. These transformers are commonly used in telecommunications, medical devices, ballasts, EMI filters, and musical instruments. Toroids are made from different core materials to meet the specific needs of end applications. Read More

Understanding the ins-and-outs of toroidal transformers is confusing because of different winding techniques, core materials, and toroid sizes. To try and simplify this complex field, we want to address some of the most commonly asked questions we hear. Read More

Understanding the complexities of toroidal transformers can be difficult, especially because they come in different systems and are used in a wide variety of applications. Although we approach each project on a one-on-one basis, there are similarities between winding, materials, and cores. Below, we have compiled a small list of frequently asked questions about toroidal transformers.Read More

If you are questioning whether a toroidal transformer is best for your electronic devices, you may want to consider the pros and cons. Understanding what benefits a toroidal transformer has makes it easier to determine if a toroid is the correct core shape for your transformer. Read More

What do you think of when you think of coils? Is it an item with a doughnut-like coil that has magnetic insides? This is not to be confused with a slug-turned coil. A slug-turned coil has a cylindrical shape, and it has adjustable iron and ferrite cores (toroids are less adjustable). Read More

Toroid inductors are most commonly used to gain high energy efficiency when low inductances are required. These devices can frequently be found in home appliances like air conditioners, computers, refrigerators, and TVs. Read More

The more you know about toroidal transformers and how they work, the easier it will be to acquire pieces that fit in specific devices and complete unique applications. We want to take some time going over some questions we get asked when helping with transformer winding.
