The most striking patented property of the WE snap ferrites is the key. It can be used to reopen snap ferrites effortlessly, for example, when they are used in a test environment.
The second patent expands the already existing protection of an innovation in Europe to cover India: For the automatic SMD and THT assembly, Würth Elektronik iBE rod core chokes are furnished with a plastic part with a smooth surface that serves as contact point for the suction pipette of a placement head. Through a gap in the winding, the sprayed-on plastic also anchors the ferrite core. This prevents slippage during the automatic assembly and during use.
