FB160808T-331Y-S

Chip Ferrite Bead Overview

The FB160808T-331Y-S is a multilayer ferrite chip bead manufactured by Cal-Chip Electronics, Inc. It operates as a single-function EMI suppressor in a surface-mount 0603 (1608 metric) package with dimensions of 1.6 mm length and 0.8 mm height. The component provides an impedance of 330 Ohms at 100 MHz and supports a maximum current rating of 500 mA. Its direct current resistance is specified at 300 mOhm. Designed for flow, reflow, and wave soldering, it offers high impedance for volume applications without requiring additional wiring.

Chip Ferrite Bead Feature Summary

• Multilayer ferrite construction providing high impedance for EMI/RFI attenuation
• Surface mount design compatible with standard PCB mounting equipment
• Robust electrode strength and solder heat resistance for reliable processing

Chip Ferrite Bead Applications

• EMI suppression in electronic equipment signal lines
• RFI attenuation for surface-mounted circuit boards
• High-frequency noise filtering in compact consumer electronics

Chip Ferrite Bead Procurement Notes

Verify the specific impedance value of 330 Ohms at 100 MHz against your circuit requirements. Confirm the 500 mA current rating is sufficient for your application to prevent saturation. Ensure the 0603 footprint matches your PCB layout. Check RoHS compliance status if required by your manufacturing standards. Validate the DC resistance of 300 mOhm does not cause excessive voltage drop.

Chip Ferrite Bead Selection Notes

Select this component when space constraints require a 0603 footprint. Choose this part for applications needing 330 Ohms of impedance at 100 MHz. Consider the 500 mA current handling capability for power line filtering. Evaluate the low DC resistance for minimal signal loss. Compare alternative impedances if the frequency response needs adjustment.

Chip Ferrite Bead Part Context

This ferrite bead belongs to the FB series from Cal-Chip Electronics, designed for multilayer ceramic technology. The series emphasizes high electrode strength and solderability. These components are engineered specifically for surface mounting processes. They serve as effective alternatives to conventional wire-wound beads by eliminating the need for separate wiring connections during assembly.

Chip Ferrite Bead Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include FB160808T-121Y-S for lower impedance or FB160808T-471Y-S for higher impedance within the same package. Ensure any replacement maintains the 0603 footprint and similar current ratings.
