Can you translate that to a size? I can imagine the
size of a #4 nut
(I have several). I can't clearly picture how big the O.D. of a #2 would be.
Roughly .1375 across the hex faces.
...A good
material for this is hypersil commonly used for transformers.
Used for the windings or the core laminations? On the topic of core size vs switching speed, I'd
always assumed the drive
to minaturize core was driven by the economics of memory density. I never
considered memory speed.
That is only part of the picture. Core size affects switching speed and
current needed to switch. Compounding this is more wire means
resistance, heat and inductance all influencing how fast you can switch.
Core is where magnetics, analog and digital intersect.
