1 Temperature stability values, averaged from -55C° to +125C° are listed for closed magnet structures.
*Non-linear
**Mix 17 was developed as a temperature stable alternative to mix 12 and is recommended for all new designs.
Note: For information an Mix #'s 8, 18, 26, 28, 33, 40 and 52 see Micrometals Catalog 4 for Power Conversion and Line Filter Applications.
