Ferrites

Ferrites are passive magnetic materials and components made from iron-oxide-based ceramic compounds. They are widely used in electronics to influence magnetic fields and to provide controlled impedance to electrical conductors, especially at higher frequencies.

In component form, ferrites are commonly integrated into circuits as magnetic elements that help manage electromagnetic behavior without active amplification or switching. Their properties make them suitable for use where stable, non-conductive magnetic performance is required.
