Magnetic Permeability of Ferrite Material  
Inꢀorderꢀtoꢀachieveꢀmostꢀefficientꢀnoiseꢀreduction,ꢀitꢀisꢀimportantꢀtoꢀselectꢀtheꢀmaterialꢀaccordingꢀtoꢀtheꢀtargetꢀfrequencyꢀ

Handling Precautions  
EMIꢀCoresꢀshouldꢀbeꢀstoredꢀinꢀnormalꢀworkingꢀenvironments.ꢀWhileꢀtheꢀEMIꢀCoresꢀthemselvesꢀareꢀquiteꢀrobustꢀinꢀotherꢀ  
environments,ꢀavoidꢀexposureꢀtoꢀhighꢀtemperatures,ꢀhighꢀhumidity,ꢀcorrosiveꢀatmospheresꢀandꢀlongꢀtermꢀstorageꢀforꢀcase,ꢀ  
snap-on and split types.  
KEMETꢀrecommendsꢀthatꢀmaximumꢀstorageꢀtemperatureꢀnotꢀexceedꢀ40°Cꢀandꢀmaximumꢀstorageꢀhumidityꢀnotꢀexceedꢀ75%ꢀ  
relativeꢀhumidity.ꢀAtmospheresꢀshouldꢀbeꢀfreeꢀofꢀchlorine,ꢀsulfurꢀandꢀalkaliꢀbearingꢀcompounds.ꢀAvoidꢀalsoꢀstorageꢀnearꢀ  
strongꢀmagneticꢀfieldsꢀasꢀthisꢀmightꢀmagnetizeꢀtheꢀproduct.  
Temperatureꢀfluctuationsꢀshouldꢀbeꢀminimizedꢀtoꢀavoidꢀcondensationꢀorꢀcracksꢀonꢀtheꢀparts.ꢀMechanicalꢀshocksꢀcanꢀbringꢀ  
to cracks as well.
