[sci.electronics] Ferrite Beads

foxd@silver.ucs.indiana.edu (daniel fox) (01/19/91)

I am looking for a supplier of small ferrite beads to block rf in the 
450-470 MHz range.  The beads need to have a hole large enough to pass a
22 guage wire.

A good source for torodial cores and ferrite Beads is
Amidon Associates, Inc.  213-763-5771

Take apart a junked TV tuner or VCR.  Ferrite beads are abundant!
See if a TV shop will give you a junked circuit board that has
some ferrite beads on it. You'll probably get some good VHF transistors
and other nice things with it.

devices?

Sorry about last message.  Does anyone know if ferrite beads can
reduce the RF noise from light-dimming devices?

     One could try, but note that home light-dimming devices are 
available with or without RFI suppression circuitry.  The packaging
usually mentions it if it has it and says nothing if it doesn't.
I changed out some of my dimmers for RFI-equipped ones, with good
results.
