LONG MONSTER PLASTIC COATED FERRITE RODS

long ferrite rod

We are offering brand new ferrite rods in 125u, 800u, and 2000u permeabilities.

Ferrite rods concentrate magnetic fields and radio waves, especially useful at lower frequency. They are easy to use as a directional antenna: just wind turns of wire on the rod and then connect a capacitor to tune it to desired receive frequency.

We have 800u permeability "J" type low-medium frequency ferrite rods of 0.62-inch internal ferrite diameter size. These are best for use in the frequency range between 10 KHz to 1 MHz.

NEW. 2nd generation rods. We have 2000u permeability "T" type very low frequency ferrite rods of 0.845 inch diameter size. These are new 2nd generation solid core rods and are best for use in the frequency range between 0 Hz to 500 KHz. 2000u is a material that works at extremely low frequency, super low frequency, ultra low frequency, very low frequency, and low frequency.

125u ferrite rods are for use between 500 KHz to 3 MHz. This range includes the AM broadcast band.

Ferrite rods are made up of special ceramic magnetic materials wherein the magnetic molecules (domains) have the ability to align freely with external magnetic fields. The result is a powerful gain in strength (amplification) of the received radio signal but without adding any electronic "hiss" noise. Its like a pre-amplifier but requires no external power except for the incoming signals.

We have long thick ferrite rods for use in your specialized radio receiver or transmitter. These are not the brittle thin ferrite rods that break easy that you might be familliar with. Our ferrite rods are made with a plastic coating to help prevent breakage and provide a smooth non-abrasive electrically insulating winding surface.

We manufacture plastic ferrite rods in lengths from 4 inches long to 36 inches long.

Sales to USA only. Not for export.


2000u Monster Ferrite Rods
High Conductivity

POWERFUL VLF FERRITE RODS for Extreme Low Frequency ELF, Super Low Frequency SLF, Ultra Low Frequency ULF, Very Low Frequency VLF, and Low Frequency LF. Working range DC - 500 KHz.

Supercharge your low frequency receiver with one of our plastic coated Monster Ferrite Rods! These high conductivity 2000u ferrite rods are monsterously long and beastly thick! We have lengths up to 36 inches and the rod diameter is a chunky 0.845 inch thick!

These 2000u ferrite rods are excellent for weak signal reception below 530 KHz.

New thinner plastic case means your antenna wire sits closer to the ferrite for higher signal transfer. Rods have increased magnetic conductivity. Our most powerful monster ferrite rods yet!

HIGH CONDUCTIVITY High u FERRITE RODS.

Thinner plastic case allows more magnetic field coupling, more wire turns with less wire footage. Less resistance! Smaller diameter!

Benefits of our plastic coated ferrite rods:

  • Won't break in pieces if stressed.
  • No rough edges that could cut your wires.
  • No electrical short-circuit to the ferrite. (2000u ferrite material is semiconductive).
  • Weather-proof and Water-proof.
  • Environment will not contaminate ferrite quality.
  • Clean to handle: your hands and equipment won't get dirty.
  • Smooth clean white plastic surface gives high contrast so you can easily see your wire work.
  • Plastic case is 1/16ths inch thick. Your antenna coil is electrically insulated from the ferrite.
  • Plastic case is 1 and 1/16th inch diameter.
  • Circumferance: Holds 3.5 inches of wire per turn. (Example: 103 turns requires 30 feet of wire).
  • Length of case: Outer case length is 1 inch longer than ferrite rod length.

    Low Frequency ferrite rods made from premium ferrite material.

    These 2000u ferrite rods are for use in the 0 Hz to 530 KHz range.

    A monster ferrite rod like this one is waiting to make your receiver roar! You'll discover weak DX signals you didn't know where there! You'll have one signal-pulling monster of a radio without the hassle of a big outdoor antenna! Ferrite rods detect the magnetic field part of the low-frequency radio wave which can easily pass through most home building materials. These magnetic fields are strong at ground level so you don't need to elevate the antenna to get improved reception.

    Minimum order of single size required ( Cannot mix values or sizes ).

    Above part numbers are examples, rods can be made shorter or longer (up to 15 inches max for 1.0 inch diameters).

    Add material designator to end of part number: "M" for 125 u (NiZn), "T" for 2000u (MnZn).

    U.S.A. only. No Foreign Orders. Not for export.

    The 125u rod ("M" material) is frequency stable over a wide temperature range. (Best for Longwave, AM, Shortwave). Great for 10 KHz to 20 MHz. Long rods over 13 inches are good for use down to 10 KHz. 125u NiZn is the best high "Q" material for AM broadcast band 540 KHz - 1710 KHz, and it also works up to 20 MHz. Very high "Q" below 15 MHz. Very narrow bandwidth below 500 KHz, can run just a few KHz wide, great for longwave beacon DXing.

    The 2000u rod ("T" material) is for use up to 530 KHz as a very sensitive receiver antenna. Perfect material for longwave and VLF reception. It is also designed for power (can work for inductive battery-charging applications) and can handle high fields without harm. It is good for high power use up to 200 KHz. Will start to heat up above 200 KHz. Nice DC (0 Hz) conductivity so it makes for good electromagnet cores.

    700u "H" material is a stronger form of our "M" Ni-Zn material. It is good to about 2 MHz and offers high Q reception. Good down to 10 KHz. Good for AM radio reception, but we like the 125u "M" material better for narrow band AM radio reception.

    VERY THICK FERRITE RODS up to 3 inches diameter and up to 15 inches long are possible. Call for quote. (They are over $ 1500.00 each) Minimum order @ 2 pieces. Great for power charging applications and transmitter-antenna coupling.

    We suggest a micro-thin film deposited acrylic coating on the Nickel Zinc (NiZn) types (added $) to protect the rod from handling oils and moisture. Add "A" to end of part number.

    Do not expose NiZn rods to pressure or high DC magnetic fields. This may permanently change the parameters.
