The Ferrite Snap On Combo Pack is a convenient solution for troubleshooting RFI/EMI with various diameter cables ranging from 1/4″ to 3/4″ for use as either single turn or multiple turn ferrite chokes. The snap on chokes are useful for RF coax, AC/DC power cables, and device interconnection cables.
Always use a snap on with a larger inside diameter than the diameter of the cable and use multiple turns if possible (2 turns through the snap on is the same as 4 snap ons with 1 turns). Included in these combo packs are our most popular snap on sizes as follows:
50:800 ohm (16:1) Transformers
16:1 Baluns are useful between 750-850 ohm balanced loads where the impedance at the end of the feed line is 800 ohms (1/2 wavelength feed line), or high impedance feeds for rhombic, T2FD and traveling wave antennas.
16:1 Ununs are useful between coax and long wires with a load impedance near 800 ohms like a beverage antenna. Shortwave listener antennas also can benefit with the 16:1 unun and it may provide a better match than 9:1 ununs – this means quieter noise levels and stronger signals so you can hear distance stations easier.
16:1 transformers are made to order with manufacturing time of 5 or more days before shipment depending upon quantity.
