Soft ferrite magnets are widely used in electrical applications due to their low coercivity. Soft ferrite magnets are commonly used in power transformers. Microwaves, radio antennae, and inductors are some of the other applications for soft ferrite magnets. Soft ferrite magnets may readily and swiftly change magnetic orientation.

3. Overview
Low coercivity magnets are classified as soft ferrite magnets. What
exactly does this mean? The capacity of a magnetic substance to
tolerate external magnetic forces without becoming demagnetized is
measured by coercivity.

4. Manganese-zinc ferrite (MnZn, also known as MnaZn(1-a)Fe2O4). MnZn has
higher permeability and saturation induction than NiZn.
NiZn (NiaZn(1-a)Fe2O4) is a nickel-zinc ferrite (NiZn). NiZn ferrites have higher resistivity
than MnZn ferrites and are hence better suited for frequencies above 1 MHz.

5. Properties
They have a low level of coercion. The low coercivity of the material means that
its magnetization may readily reverse direction without squandering much
energy (hysteresis losses), while the high resistivity of the material avoids eddy
currents in the core, which is another cause of energy loss. They are widely utilized
in the cores of RF transformers and inductors in applications such as
switched-mode power supply and loopstick antennas used in AM radios because
of their comparably low losses at high frequencies.

6. DISADVANTAGES
• Have different properties such as
inductance and permeability so care is
required to get a correct material type
• It will be expected that the customer
knows exactly what they require
ADVANTAGES
• Carry magnetism effectively with low
losses
• Can handle alternating currents
