ESD-FPL-50

Overview

The KEMET ESD-FPL-50 is a solid core flat cable ferrite designed for electromagnetic interference suppression. It features a Nickel Zinc core material and supports up to 16 wires within its aperture. The component exhibits an impedance of 68 Ω at 100 MHz and operates effectively up to a maximum frequency of 300 MHz. Its physical dimensions include an outer depth of approximately 12.7 mm, an outer height of 12 mm, and an overall length of 68.6 mm. It is rated for a maximum operating temperature of +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Solid core construction for flat ribbon cables
• Nickel Zinc core material for high-frequency performance
• Designed for EMI suppression in consumer electronics

Applications

• Consumer electronics signal line filtering
• Flat ribbon cable noise reduction
• High-frequency data bus protection

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific impedance value against the official datasheet, as sources indicate variations between 60 Ω and 68 Ω at 100 MHz. Confirm the exact dimensional tolerances for the 68.6 mm length specification. Ensure the Nickel Zinc core material aligns with the required frequency response characteristics for the target application environment.

Selection Notes

Select this component when flat cable geometry is required for space-constrained designs. The Nickel Zinc core offers suitable performance for frequencies up to 300 MHz. Verify that the internal width accommodates the specific flat cable thickness used in the assembly. Consider the +85°C temperature rating for thermal management requirements.

Part Context

This part belongs to the KEMET ESD-FPL series of solid core flat cable ferrites. These components are engineered specifically for suppressing common-mode noise on flat ribbon cables commonly found in digital interfaces. The series provides various impedance values and physical sizes to match different cable configurations and noise profiles.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct substitutes within the ESD-FPL series with matching impedance and dimensions. Verify compatibility with existing flat cable widths before substituting.
