(2) Consider a similar size ferrite toroid core made of 4. Calculate the minimum required gap length in
Magnetics F material and having the same size gap as inches:
above. The part number suggested is F-43806-TC with
dimensions .750 inches x 1.500 inches x .250 inches. F ( .3937 )
material has a permeability of 3000.
3,000
µe =
1 =(.1778) (3,000)
5. If the minimum required gap is greater than the
8.30 sensor thickness, ensure that the cross-section dimensions
= 46 (length and width) are at least twice the gap length. If not,
g = .070" X 2.54 cm/" choose a larger core. If the new core size has a different
= .1778 cm magnetic path length, recalculate for the required minimum
m = 8.30 cm gap.

Variety of Cores Available
Magnetics makes a variety of cores manufactured from soft magnetic materials for use in Hall effect devices:
Manganese-Zinc ferrites, Molypermalloy powder (MPP) cores, High Flux and Kool Mu® powder cores, and strip
wound tape cores. Any of these can be provided gapped to accommodate the desired Hall chip. The core one
chooses depends upon the characteristics of the core desired, cost, and temperature stability.
