Frequently Bought Together

ERSE Super Q inductors are considered by audiophiles and engineers throughout the world as the best performing magnetic core coil. Now you can use what the professionals use. The Super Q core utilizes ERSE’s micro thin grain low loss steel that is stamped to a unique shape which helps fine tune the flux field for optimal audio performance. After the core is stamped it goes through ERSE’s special annealing process, then hand stacked to an exact number of sheets to insure that each core is exactly the same. After stacking the core it is then placed into a special built plastic mold which pinches the steel stack tightly under pressure. Then the Super Q core is over-molded with high temperature polycarbonate. The core is left in the mold two times the normal time to insure the plastic has fully cured.

ERSE’s unique over-molding procedure is one hundred times stronger than varnish and virtually eliminates FM distortion. No other magnetic core coil can claim such low FM distortion. After the cores are manufactured and inspected for quality each Super Q is then wound like all of our “Q” series coils. We use high purity OFC copper wire that is evenly wound with computerized winding equipment and hysteresis tension devices insuring the high crystalline cell structure of the OFC copper is not broken. All of the unique manufacturing processes followed here by ERSE make Super Q one of the best performing sonically excellent magnetic core coils available today.

Overall size is 4.5" by 1-5/8" and has built in screw holes for secure mounting.  ERSE gives you 2.5″ wire leads with 1.2″ of that tinned for easy soldering.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why are the wire tips silver?

The tips are tinned from the manufacturer to make soldering easier. You should solder to the tinned tips, not the copper colored sections of an inductor.

Can I cut the wire leads shorter?

The silver tips have been tinned for easy soldering.  If you remove the silver part of the wire then you need to scrape off the copper colored coating from the wires until you see bare copper, then solder to that.

Are the wires positive and negative?

No.  Inductors do not have polarity.

Do I have to use screws for mounting iron core inductors?

No, you can use hot melt glue or any decent glue to hold them on your circuit board.  We usually recommend a zip tie over the inductor to hold it in place just in case your glue isn’t strong enough.
