Thanks. They don't do the smaller ones I want. Interesting "flat pack" system they have though!

Brings back some memories, way back I used their C cores a few times. Nice ot see they're still around.

Brings back some memories, way back I used their C-cores a few times. Nice to see the outfit's still around.

On the subject of C-cores, I see they're no longer in their listed items. Is there a reason why they aren't used any more? From a manufacturing perspective they look to be a great idea, are the resultant transformer properties not up to scratch maybe?

We used to use their C-cores too, ones about 250mm long. We made specialised electromagnets out of them. Sometime around

1999 they stopped supplying, I think they were not selling much or they had supply problems with GISS. We started making our own lams after that to avoid such unreliable suppliers.
