GMLB-160808-0060Y-GK

Chip Ferrite Bead Overview

The GMLB-160808-0060Y-GK is a multilayer ferrite chip bead manufactured by Pulse Electronics, designed for surface-mount technology (SMD/SMT) applications. It features a 0603 package with dimensions of 1.6 mm length, 0.8 mm width, and 0.8 mm height. The component provides an impedance of 60 Ohms at a test frequency of 100 MHz, with a tolerance of 25%. It supports a maximum DC current of 400 mA and has a maximum DC resistance of 100 mOhms. The device operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +125°C and includes shielding.

Chip Ferrite Bead Feature Summary

• Multilayer ferrite construction for effective electromagnetic interference suppression
• Shielded design to minimize external magnetic field interaction
• Surface-mount termination style compatible with automated PCB assembly processes

Chip Ferrite Bead Applications

• High-speed signal line filtering under 1 GHz
• EMI suppression in compact electronic circuits
• Power supply noise reduction in SMD-based designs

Chip Ferrite Bead Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer part number against official Pulse Electronics documentation to ensure compatibility with design requirements. Confirm that the 0603 package dimensions and electrical parameters match the target circuit specifications. Check for any RoHS compliance details or alternative naming conventions such as BBGK series equivalents before finalizing procurement decisions.

Chip Ferrite Bead Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-impedance ferrite bead is required for high-current applications up to 400 mA. The 60 Ohm impedance at 100 MHz makes it suitable for suppressing lower-frequency noise compared to higher-impedance variants. Ensure the operating temperature range of -55°C to +125°C meets environmental conditions. Consider the shielded feature if magnetic coupling isolation is necessary.

Chip Ferrite Bead Part Context

This part belongs to the family of multilayer ferrite chip beads from Pulse Electronics, specifically tailored for EMI suppression in space-constrained environments. It shares physical dimensions with other 0603 ferrite beads but differs in impedance and current handling capabilities. The GMLB designation indicates a specific variant within the broader ferrite bead portfolio, often associated with Chilisin manufacturing origins under Pulse branding.

Chip Ferrite Bead Replacement Considerations

Official substitutes include BBGK00160808600Y00 and BBSJ00160808600Y00, which share identical 60 Ohm impedance and 0603 package specifications. Verify current ratings and DC resistance values when cross-referencing these alternatives to ensure functional equivalence in the target application.
