ESD-FPD-50

Overview

The KEMET ESD-FPD-50 is a split-core ferrite cable core designed for flat cables. It utilizes Ni-Zn ferrite material to provide high-frequency electromagnetic interference suppression. The component features an integrated plastic clamp mechanism for secure attachment without disassembly of the cable harness. Key physical dimensions include a length of 80 mm, a width of 68.6 mm, and a height of 10 mm. The internal aperture measures 2 mm, accommodating specific flat cable profiles.

Feature Summary

• Split-core design allows installation on existing cable assemblies without disconnecting terminals
• Integrated plastic clamp ensures secure retention and consistent positioning on flat cables
• Ni-Zn ferrite composition provides effective attenuation in high-frequency noise environments

Applications

• Suppression of electromagnetic interference on flat ribbon cables in electronic equipment
• Noise filtering for data transmission lines in automotive or industrial control systems
• EMI mitigation for peripheral connections in computing hardware

Procurement Notes

Verify that the target flat cable thickness does not exceed the 2 mm internal aperture dimension. Confirm compatibility with the Ni-Zn frequency characteristics required for the specific noise spectrum. Ensure the plastic clamp mechanism remains intact during handling to maintain retention integrity. Cross-reference the exact model suffix if variations exist in clamp style or ferrite grade.

Selection Notes

Select this component when non-invasive installation on pre-assembled flat cables is required. The split-core architecture eliminates the need to thread cables through solid cores. Choose based on the operating frequency range where Ni-Zn materials offer superior permeability compared to Mn-Zn alternatives. Validate physical clearance constraints against the 80x68.6x10 mm external envelope.

Part Context

This component belongs to the ESD-FPD series of ferrite accessories manufactured by KEMET. The series focuses on flexible EMI solutions for complex wiring harnesses where traditional toroidal cores are impractical. These parts complement KEMET's broader passive component portfolio by addressing signal integrity challenges in high-density interconnects.
