FB73-226

Overview

The FB73-226 is a solid free-hanging ferrite core manufactured by Bourns Inc., designed for cable and wire applications. It features an inner diameter of 0.060 inches (1.52 mm) and an outer diameter of 0.155 inches (3.93 mm). The component has a length of 0.251 inches (6.37 mm). It is classified under the 73 material type with a frequency rating of 40 MHz, intended for EMI suppression.

Feature Summary

• Solid construction for free-hanging installation on cables
• Designed for electromagnetic interference suppression
• Compatible with wires up to 1.52 mm inner diameter

Applications

• Cable and wire EMI filtering
• Electronics assembly noise reduction
• Signal integrity improvement in wiring harnesses

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact part number suffix, such as RC, against official distributor listings to ensure correct material composition and availability. Confirm dimensional tolerances match design requirements before procurement. Cross-reference manufacturer datasheets for specific handling instructions and storage conditions to maintain component integrity during supply chain transit.

Selection Notes

Select this component based on the required cable diameter fitting within the 1.52 mm inner bore. Ensure the application environment supports the operating characteristics of the 73 material type at frequencies around 40 MHz. Validate that the physical dimensions of 3.93 mm outer diameter and 6.37 mm length fit within the available space constraints of the target assembly without mechanical interference.

Part Context

This ferrite core belongs to the FB73 series from Bourns Inc., which offers various sizes and materials for EMI suppression. The series provides solid cores suitable for manual or automated placement on cables. These components are standard passive elements used in electronic manufacturing to mitigate high-frequency noise on interconnects.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct substitutes with identical inner diameter of 1.52 mm and compatible material properties. Verify that alternative parts meet the same 40 MHz frequency specification and physical length constraints to ensure functional equivalence in existing designs.
