ESD-FPL-7

Overview

The KEMET ESD-FPL-7 is a solid core ferrite cable core designed for flat ribbon cables. It features an internal width of 1.5mm and supports up to 16 wires. The component exhibits an impedance of 60 Ω at 100 MHz with a maximum operating frequency of 300 MHz. Physical dimensions include an external depth of 7mm, external width of 28mm, and external height of 7.7mm. Constructed from ferrite material, it operates within a temperature range of -25°C to +85°C and complies with RoHS standards.

Feature Summary

• Solid core construction for secure attachment to flat ribbon cables
• Ferrite material composition providing electromagnetic interference suppression
• Designed specifically for high-density multi-wire applications

Applications

• Consumer electronics signal line protection
• Flat cable harness noise reduction
• Data bus common mode choke implementation

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific lot code and manufacturing date against current production status, as some ESD-FPL series variants may be subject to obsolescence notices. Confirm that the 1.5mm internal width matches the target flat cable thickness to ensure proper fitment without mechanical stress. Check for RoHS compliance documentation if required by final assembly regulations.

Selection Notes

Select this component when the application requires suppression of common mode noise on flat cables with up to 16 conductors. Ensure the cable thickness does not exceed the 1.5mm internal width limit. Consider the 60 Ω impedance characteristic at 100 MHz for compatibility with the targeted frequency spectrum of the signals being protected.

Part Context

This part belongs to the KEMET ESD-FPL series of solid core ferrites. Unlike split cores, these are non-magnetic snap-on or slide-on types intended for permanent installation during manufacturing. They differ from other series by their specific dimensional profile optimized for standard flat ribbon cables used in compact electronic assemblies.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 1.5mm internal width and 60 Ω@100MHz impedance. Verify physical dimensions (28x7x7.7mm) to ensure board clearance compatibility. Alternative materials like nickel-zinc may offer different frequency characteristics but require validation of magnetic properties.
