The Power Sources Manufacturers Association (PSMA) has announced the renewed availability of SOFT FERRITES - Properties and Applications - Second Edition, authored by Eric Snelling. The book had been out of print for several years and was reprinted in limited quantity by the PSMA in 2006. Due to continued demand, a second reprinting is now available.

The book was initially published in 1969 and was extensively revised by Snelling in 1988 to bring all eleven chapters in line with current design practices and applications of ferrite cores used in modern-day inductors and transformers. The aim of this unique 366-page reprint is to provide all the information on ferrite properties and wound-component design necessary for efficient applications of these materials. Data in the book are represented by means of extensive use of graphs and tables, and design procedures are supported by many working examples of inductors and transformers.

According to Stephen Carlsen, PSMA Magnetics Committee Chair, Snelling's book is considered by many working design engineers as the 'ferrite user's bible' and PSMA is pleased to make this wonderful text available once again.

Copies of Snelling's classic treatise on magnetics, SOFT FERRITES - Properties and Applications - Second Edition, are available for sale at www.psma.com. The cover price for the reprint is $150 but PSMA members, as a benefit of their membership, can purchase the text for $100. The PSMA-reprint text is also available at the non-member price at www.amazon.com at a cost of $160.
