MEA1608LC060T001

Overview

The MEA1608LC060T001 is a second-order low-pass LC EMI filter array manufactured by TDK Corporation. It features four independent channels within a single 0603 (1608 metric) surface-mount package, measuring 1.60mm x 0.80mm x 0.60mm. Each channel provides a capacitance of 6pF with a cutoff frequency of 290MHz. The component supports a maximum current of 100mA and operates at a rated voltage of 6.3V. It delivers 20dB attenuation between 800MHz and 1GHz. The device functions reliably across an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Integrates four independent filtering channels into a compact 0603 footprint for space-constrained designs.
• Provides effective high-frequency noise suppression through second-order low-pass LC circuit topology.
• Designed specifically for signal line protection in mobile device data interfaces.

Applications

• Data lines for mobile devices
• Signal line filtering in portable electronics
• EMI suppression on high-speed digital interfaces

Procurement Notes

Verify the complete part number including suffixes to ensure correct packaging configuration, such as tape and reel or cut tape options. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level requirements against specific manufacturing standards. Ensure the selected variant matches the required capacitance tolerance and current rating for the target application circuit design.

Selection Notes

Select this component when multiple signal lines require filtering within a limited board area. The 4-channel array reduces component count compared to discrete filters. Verify that the 6.3V rating and 100mA current capacity exceed the operational limits of the protected circuits. Consider the 290MHz cutoff frequency to ensure it aligns with the signal bandwidth requirements while providing adequate noise attenuation.

Part Context

This component belongs to the TDK MEA series of EMI filter arrays. These parts are designed to replace multiple discrete capacitors and inductors, simplifying PCB layout and improving signal integrity. The MEA series offers various capacitance values and channel counts to suit different interface speeds and form factors in consumer electronics.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct substitutes within the MEA series with identical pinouts and electrical characteristics. Verify that alternative components maintain the same 0603 package dimensions and thermal performance specifications to ensure mechanical compatibility without redesigning the footprint.
