MEA1608LE360TA0G

Overview

The MEA1608LE360TA0G is a third-order low-pass LC EMI filter array manufactured by TDK Corporation. It features four channels with a capacitance of 36pF and a cutoff frequency of 180MHz. The component supports a maximum DC current of 50mA and operates within a voltage rating of 6.3V. Designed for surface mount installation, it utilizes a 0603 (1608 metric) package measuring 1.60mm x 0.80mm x 0.60mm. The device functions reliably across an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Provides third-order low-pass filtering characteristics for effective noise suppression
• Integrates four independent signal lines into a compact single-package array
• Engineered specifically for high-density data line protection in mobile devices

Applications

• Mobile device data lines
• Signal line filtering
• EMI/RFI suppression circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix TA0G against official TDK documentation to confirm exact electrical tolerances and packaging specifications. Confirm RoHS3 compliance status as required by project regulations. Check the part status indicator, as this item may be marked as not recommended for new designs due to potential minimum order quantity restrictions or lifecycle changes.

Selection Notes

Select this component when space-constrained applications require multi-channel EMI filtering. The 0603 footprint allows for dense PCB layouts while maintaining four-channel isolation. Ensure the system voltage does not exceed the 6.3V rating and that the signal line current remains below the 50mA limit to maintain optimal filter performance and reliability.

Part Context

This component belongs to the TDK MEA series of micro-filter arrays. These parts are designed to replace discrete LC components, reducing board space and assembly complexity. The MEA series targets high-frequency noise suppression in portable electronics where signal integrity is critical and physical size constraints are severe.
