From the part number B66365 G500 X187 and the datasheet linked from the website, it's an Epcos ETD 44/22/15 core in N87 material with a 0.5mm gap. You have to buy the former and yoke separately. The datasheet also tells you the part numbers for these, B66366

You might get away with tightly taping around the cores rather than using a Yoke, since it's a gapped core anyway, the small gaps from the lower pressure on the cores may be insignificant compared to the 0.5mm gap already existing between the 2 halves.

Hi, Yeah I saw that in the datasheet it was to late to order the yoke, I ordered a ETD 59 made up of 2 E-cores (ungapped) anD QTY 10 yokes (min order qty X10) to go with it, dam these things cores are huge. I will wait for the yokes as its not urgent, and I might go for a smaller ETD44 instead for my future smps.

Now i need to get hold of isolation transformer, anyone have an idea where I can find these things ? there is no way im blowing my Rigol DS2072A !! :D

Thanks again.
