Since most production of ceramic hard ferrite magnets is in China (which is where our production facility is based), Chinese nomenclature has taken over and is popularly used in UK and Europe with greater acceptance in the USA as well (the grades start with the letter “Yâ€.
Fer 3 and Feroba 3 is now called Y30H-1. Ferrite C8 is also known as Y30H-1.
Fer 2 and Feroba 2 is now called Y30. Ferrite C5 is also known as Y30.
