BMC2AY0060AG

Chip Ferrite Bead Overview

The BMC2AY0060AG is a single-channel ferrite chip bead from the Sigma Multilayer series by TE Connectivity. It features an 0805 (2012 metric) surface-mount package with dimensions of 2.0 mm length, 1.2 mm width, and 1.1 mm height. The component provides an impedance of 60 Ohms at a test frequency of 100 MHz with a tolerance of 25%. It supports a maximum DC current rating of 3 A and has a maximum DC resistance of 40 mOhms. The operating temperature range spans from -55°C to +125°C.

Chip Ferrite Bead Feature Summary

• Provides effective electromagnetic interference (EMI) protection through high-impedance characteristics in the signal path.
• Utilizes multilayer ferrite technology for compact surface-mount integration.
• Designed for high-current applications with a 3 A rating.

Chip Ferrite Bead Applications

• Signal line filtering in electronic circuits
• Power supply noise suppression
• General EMI protection in consumer electronics

Chip Ferrite Bead Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'AG' against official TE Connectivity documentation to confirm exact material composition and tape/reel specifications. Ensure the procurement source is an authorized distributor to guarantee component authenticity and traceability. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with internal bill-of-materials requirements before finalizing orders.

Chip Ferrite Bead Selection Notes

Select this component when a 60 Ohm impedance at 100 MHz is required within an 0805 footprint. The 3 A current rating makes it suitable for power lines or high-current signal paths where standard beads might saturate. Compare the 40 mOhm DCR against circuit loss tolerances. Consider thermal management capabilities within the -55°C to +125°C range for the target environment.

Chip Ferrite Bead Part Context

This part belongs to the Sigma Multilayer Ferrite Bead family, designed for compact PCB layouts. It serves as a passive component for noise attenuation. The 0805 size offers a balance between current handling capacity and board space efficiency compared to smaller packages like 0402 or larger ones.

Chip Ferrite Bead Replacement Considerations

The BMB2A0060LN2 is listed as obsolete with the BMC2AY0060AG identified as a manufacturer-recommended substitute. Verify electrical compatibility, specifically the 60 Ohm impedance and current ratings, before substitution.
