BK1608TS601-T

Overview

The BK1608TS601-T is a multilayer chip bead inductor from the Taiyo Yuden BK series, designed for surface-mount applications. It features a 0603 (1608 metric) package with dimensions of 1.60mm length, 0.80mm width, and 0.95mm height. The component provides an impedance of 600 Ohms at a test frequency of 100 MHz. It supports a maximum DC current rating of 350 mA and has a maximum DC resistance of 351 mOhms. The device operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +125°C.

Feature Summary

• Multilayer construction for compact surface-mount integration
• High impedance performance at 100 MHz for noise suppression
• AEC-Q200 qualified for automotive reliability standards

Applications

• General electronic equipment such as AV and OA devices
• Home electric appliances requiring EMI filtering
• Office equipment signal line protection

Procurement Notes

This component is officially discontinued and no longer manufactured by Taiyo Yuden. Verification of end-of-life status is required before design finalization. Sourcing new units is not possible through standard distribution channels. Engineers must identify alternative components or verify existing stock availability carefully. Design changes should be initiated to replace this obsolete part number in active production lines.

Selection Notes

Selection requires evaluating impedance characteristics at 100 MHz and current handling capabilities. The 0603 footprint dictates board space constraints. Thermal performance must align with the -55°C to +125°C operating range. Current ratings should be checked against circuit load requirements to ensure stability under maximum DC conditions without excessive resistance drop.

Part Context

Part of the BK series multilayer chip bead inductors. Designed for general electronic equipment including audio-visual, office automation, and home appliance applications. Utilizes ceramic multilayer technology for high-frequency noise suppression in compact form factors suitable for modern PCB layouts.
