Advances in the technology used for electronic systems have led to increasing demand for greater power densities. However, while the power density requirements grow, the physical size requirements of these systems continue to trend smaller.

The expanding demand for electronic equipment is fueling the need for more high frequency transformers. At Agile Magnetics, we have been designing and manufacturing these products since our company began in 1992. Our experience encompasses high frequency transformers constructed of all different materials, manufactured to our customers’ precise specifications, and consistently delivered on time.

Buck-boost transformers, which sometimes take the form of push–pull transformers, help adjust AC voltage between equipment and applications. Buck-boost connections usually appear in electrical equipment that operates with fixed amounts of buck or boost, such as uninterruptible power supply (UPS) units for computers.

Transformers are passive electrical devices that transfer electrical power between two circuits to increase or decrease the voltage the electricity so it will be best-suited to the final application or end device. Transformers accomplish this through magnetic induction between coils.

The combination of Agile Magnetics and Standex Electronics will provide expanded capabilities and improved responsiveness to customer demands.  Joining a world-class leader like Standex provides a global presence, deeper pool of resources and the ability to improve our competitive position in a variety of markets.  See the latest press release on the acquisition below.

Since the beginning of 2018, Agile Magnetics has made a serious step in confirming its position as a leader in custom original equipment manufacturer (OEM) magnetics with the purchase of specialized FEM 3D software for analysis of electromagnetic and thermal fields.

Аs is well known, winding losses in transformers and inductors increase dramatically with frequency due to eddy-current and proximity effects. One of the most commonly used practical ways to reduce these losses is the use of Litz wire.

As a global leader in custom original equipment manufacturer (OEM) magnetics, Agile Magnetics is proud to offer reliable solutions for a wide range of industries and applications. From high frequency transformers and inductors to value-added assemblies, our electromagnetics are designed for optimal longevity, reliability, and performance.

As demand rises for various types of electronics, the need for electromagnetic components is increasing as well. Whether employing transformers, inductors, or litz wire electromagnetic coils, a wide range of electronic equipment and systems depend on high-quality magnetics to ensure reliability and longevity.

Invented toward the end of the 1800s, litz wire changed the way wires are configured. Its name is a shortening of the German word, “litzendraht,” which means “woven wire.” A litz wire is composed of individually insulated strands of copper which are braided or otherwise woven together in specialized patterns, as opposed to simply twisting the copper strands together.

 Litz wire is typically used to improve the efficiency of high frequency transformers, inductors, and coils, and carries AC currents at radio frequencies.
