MEA1608LE150TA0G

Overview

The MEA1608LE150TA0G is a surface-mount LC EMI filter array manufactured by TDK Corporation. It features a third-order low-pass configuration with four channels housed in a 0603 (1608 metric) package. The component specifies a capacitance of 15 pF, a rated current of 50 mA, and a cutoff frequency of 390 MHz. It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C and complies with RoHS3 standards.

Feature Summary

• Provides third-order low-pass filtering for effective noise suppression on signal lines
• Integrates four independent channels into a compact single-package array
• Utilizes LC technology for high-performance electromagnetic interference reduction

Applications

• Mobile device data line protection
• Signal line filtering in consumer electronics
• High-speed interface noise suppression

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix TA0G against official TDK documentation to confirm packaging and compliance details. Confirm availability status as some distributors list this part as inactive or not recommended for new designs. Ensure the selected variant matches the required capacitance and current ratings for the target application circuit.

Selection Notes

Select this component when space-constrained designs require multi-channel EMI filtering in an 0603 footprint. Evaluate the 50 mA current rating against peak signal line currents to prevent saturation. Consider the 390 MHz cutoff frequency relative to the highest frequency component of the signal being filtered to ensure adequate attenuation without signal degradation.

Part Context

This part belongs to the TDK MEA series of multilayer EMI filters. These components are designed specifically for protecting sensitive electronic circuits from electromagnetic interference. The MEA series offers various configurations to suit different signal integrity requirements in portable and industrial applications.

Replacement Considerations

MEA1608LE360TA0G: Similar LC filter array but with 36 pF capacitance and 180 MHz cutoff. MEA1608L50R0TA0G: Different L-filter topology with 50 pF capacitance and 100 mA rating.
