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:
Fish Finder – Sonar RFI Kit
Fish Finders/Sonar units can cause RFI “noise” in other electronic devices on a boat including audio and video systems, radar, SSB, wind/speed/depth instruments, etc. Likewise other electronic devices can also interfere with the fish finder and cause erroneous depth/temperature readings.
Palomar Engineers has developed a simple to install fish finder/sonar RFI suppression kit to solve the RFI noise problem aboard recreational and commercial boats.
Just slip a split bead on the transducer cable (1" ID) and use the 5 1/2" ID split beads on the fish finder/sonar readout unit transducer input and DC cables. Use the extra ferrites on other equipment needing protection like the Radar, radio, etc.
