GMLB-160808-0470P-N8

Chip Ferrite Bead Overview

The GMLB-160808-0470P-N8 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 0.95 mm height. The component provides an impedance of 470 Ohms at a test frequency of 100 MHz with a tolerance of 25%. It supports a maximum DC current of 1.5 A and has a maximum DC resistance of 0.037 Ohms. The operating temperature range spans from -55°C to +125°C.

Chip Ferrite Bead Feature Summary

• Multilayer construction for high-density PCB integration
• Shielded design to minimize electromagnetic interference
• High current handling capability up to 1.5 A

Chip Ferrite Bead Applications

• EMI suppression in portable electronic devices
• Signal integrity protection in high-speed data lines
• Power supply filtering in compact consumer electronics

Chip Ferrite Bead Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official Pulse Electronics documentation to ensure correct impedance and current ratings. Confirm RoHS compliance status through the manufacturer's datasheet or certification documents. Check for any alternate part numbers such as GMLB-160808-0470L-N8-RU that may indicate different packaging or material specifications. Ensure the selected variant matches the required thermal and electrical performance criteria for the target application environment.

Chip Ferrite Bead Selection Notes

Select this component when a 0603 footprint is required with a 470 Ohm impedance profile. Consider the 1.5 A current rating for power line filtering where higher saturation limits are necessary. Evaluate the 0.037 Ohm DC resistance for voltage drop constraints in low-voltage circuits. Compare against other series like BBGK or GBK if different thermal ranges or impedance values are needed.

Chip Ferrite Bead Part Context

This part belongs to the GMLB series of multilayer ferrite beads from Pulse Electronics. It is distinct from the BSCH RF inductors and DPX diplexers also listed in the provided data. The GMLB series focuses on EMI suppression rather than RF tuning or signal splitting. It shares the 0603 form factor with other Pulse ferrite beads but differs in internal construction and magnetic material properties optimized for specific frequency attenuation.

Chip Ferrite Bead Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers include GMLB-160808-0470L-N8-RU. Verify compatibility with existing PCB layouts and soldering profiles before substitution.
