ferrite

Iron compound, nonconductive

Ferrite refers to iron-based materials with particular magnetic or crystalline properties.

In metallurgy, ferrite is a form of iron or iron alloy with a specific crystal structure, often the soft, ductile phase in steel.

In electronics, ferrites are ceramic compounds containing iron oxide, valued for their magnetic properties: ferrite cores, ferrite beads.

These components filter electromagnetic interference in cables and circuits.
