MEA1210LC150T001

Overview

The MEA1210LC150T001 is a surface-mount LC (Pi) EMI filter manufactured by TDK Corporation. It features a third-order low-pass configuration with two channels and a capacitance of 15pF. The component operates within a voltage rating of 6.3V and handles up to 100mA current. Its cutoff frequency is specified at 430MHz, providing an attenuation of 20dB between 800MHz and 3GHz. Designed for mobile device data lines, it utilizes a 0504 (1210 metric) package measuring 1.20mm x 1.00mm x 0.60mm. The unit functions reliably across a temperature range of -40°C to 85°C.

Feature Summary

• Third-order LC Pi topology for enhanced signal integrity
• Dual-channel design optimized for differential data lines
• Compact 1210 metric footprint for space-constrained layouts

Applications

• Mobile device data line protection
• High-speed interface filtering
• EMI suppression in portable electronics

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'LC' against the datasheet to confirm the 240MHz cutoff variant, as the 'PH' series differs. Confirm end-of-life status via official TDK notifications. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints and reflow profiles. Check for RoHS compliance documentation if required by regional regulations. Validate supply chain authenticity through authorized distributors.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a third-order low-pass response is required for high-speed data lines. Compare the 15pF capacitance value against system impedance requirements. Evaluate the 6.3V rating against peak signal voltages. Consider the 1210 package size relative to available board real estate. Assess thermal performance within the -40°C to 85°C operating range.
