MEA1608PE360TA0G

Overview

The MEA1608PE360TA0G is a third-order LC Pi-type EMI filter array manufactured by TDK Corporation. Designed for signal line protection, this component features a 4-channel configuration within a compact 0603 (1608 metric) surface-mount package. It utilizes a low-pass topology with a capacitance value of 36 pF and a cutoff frequency of 220 MHz. The device supports a maximum DC current of 100 mA and operates reliably across a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Third-order LC Pi-type low-pass filtering architecture for enhanced noise suppression
• Four-channel array design integrated into a single compact footprint
• Optimized for high-speed signal line protection applications

Applications

• Mobile device data lines

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix TA0G against official TDK documentation to confirm packaging and compliance details. Ensure the selected variant matches the required cutoff frequency and current rating for the target application. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with authorized distributor catalogs to confirm availability and authenticity before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when space-constrained designs require multi-channel EMI suppression without sacrificing signal integrity. The 0603 package allows for dense PCB layouts, while the 100 mA rating suits moderate current signal paths. Evaluate the 220 MHz cutoff against the specific signal bandwidth requirements to ensure effective noise attenuation without signal degradation.

Part Context

This component belongs to the TDK MEA series of EMI filter arrays, which are engineered for compact electronic systems. The MEA series provides various configurations to address electromagnetic interference in mobile and consumer devices. This specific model represents a standardized solution for protecting multiple signal lines within a minimal board area.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official TDK substitution guides for verified alternatives. Generic equivalents may not match the precise LC Pi topology or cutoff characteristics. Verify pin compatibility and thermal performance if considering cross-brand replacements.
