Electromagnetic noise absorber
View Patent ↗An electromagnetic noise absorber to be attached around an electric cable to attenuate noise transmitted through the electric cable. The electromagnetic noise absorber comprises a strip-like base material and a plurality of ferrite pieces fixed to the strip-like base material. The plurality of ferrite pieces are formed by fixing a sheeted ferrite sintered body to the strip-like base material, and subsequently splitting the sheeted ferrite sintered body along split lines oblique with respect to a longitudinal direction of the strip-like base material. The electromagnetic noise absorber is wound around a circumference of the electric cable such that the split lines are parallel to an axial direction of the electric cable, thereby being attached in a spiral manner around the circumference of the electric cable.
1. An electromagnetic noise absorber to be attached around an electric cable to attenuate noise transmitted through the electric cable, the electromagnetic noise absorber comprising:
a strip-like base material; and
a plurality of ferrite pieces fixed to the strip-like base material,
wherein the plurality of ferrite pieces are formed by fixing a sheeted ferrite sintered body to the strip-like base material and subsequently splitting the sheeted ferrite sintered body along split lines oblique with respect to a longitudinal direction of the strip-like base material, and the plurality of ferrite pieces are also split along split lines extending parallel to the longitudinal direction of the strip-like base material; and the electromagnetic noise absorber is wound around a circumference of the electric cable such that the split lines, which extend obliquely with respect to the longitudinal direction of the strip-like base material, are parallel to an axial direction of the electric cable, thereby being attached in a spiral manner around the circumference of the electric cable.
2. The electromagnetic noise absorber according to claim 1 , wherein the strip-like base material is constituted by a double-faced adhesive sheet having adhesive surfaces on both front and reverse sides.
3. The electromagnetic noise absorber accordign to claim 1 , further comprising a coating material that sandwiches the ferrite pieces between the base material and the coating material.
4. The electromagnetic noise absorber according to claim 3 , wherein the base material and the coating material are joined together in both end portions parallel to the longitudinal direction of the strip-like base material.
5. The electromagnetic noise absorber according to claim 3 , wherein the coating material is more flexible than the strip-like base material.
6. The electromagnetic noise absorber according to claim 3 , wherein the coating material is electrically conductive.
7. The electromagnetic noise absorber according to claim 1 , wherein the ferrite pieces are substantially free of any ferrite resin.
