ESD-FPD-16

Overview

The KEMET ESD-FPD-16 is a split-core ferrite clamp designed for flat ribbon cables. It accommodates up to 16 wires with an internal width of 25.4mm and height of 2.6mm. The external dimensions are 37mm x 12.7mm x 10mm. Constructed from NiZn ferrite material, it provides electromagnetic interference suppression in consumer electronics applications.

Feature Summary

• Split-core design allows installation on existing cable assemblies without disconnection
• Accommodates flat ribbon cables with up to 16 conductors
• Ferrite construction provides effective high-frequency noise attenuation

Applications

• Consumer electronics cable shielding
• Embedded systems EMI suppression
• Industrial automation signal line protection

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix (e.g., -1) against the datasheet to confirm exact dimensional tolerances and material specifications. Ensure the target cable thickness falls within the 2.6mm internal height limit. Confirm RoHS compliance status for the specific manufacturing batch.

Selection Notes

Select this component when retrofitting EMI suppression onto pre-assembled flat cables. The split-core mechanism eliminates the need to disconnect wiring harnesses. Verify that the cable assembly fits within the 25.4mm internal width constraint before integration into the final enclosure.

Part Context

This component belongs to KEMET's ESD series of ferrite clamps. These passive components are engineered to suppress common-mode noise on data and power lines. The split-core variant specifically addresses maintenance and assembly efficiency in complex electronic systems.

Replacement Considerations

Check for KEMET ESD-FPD-16-1 as a potential equivalent. Verify that substitute parts maintain identical internal dimensions (25.4mm x 2.6mm) to ensure physical compatibility with the target cable assembly.
