MEA1608PH220TA0G

Overview

The MEA1608PH220TA0G is a surface-mount LC pi-filter manufactured by TDK Corporation. It features a 4-channel array configuration within a 0603 (1608 metric) package, with dimensions of 1.60mm length, 0.80mm width, and 0.60mm height. The component provides a capacitance of 22pF per channel and supports a maximum current rating of 100mA. It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C and has a rated voltage of 6.3V. The filter offers a cutoff frequency of 420MHz and achieves an attenuation of 20dB at frequencies between 800MHz and 3GHz.

Feature Summary

• Integrates four independent low-pass LC pi-filter channels in a compact single package.
• Provides high signal integrity for data lines through effective EMI suppression.
• Designed for space-constrained applications requiring multi-channel filtering.

Applications

• Data line protection in mobile devices
• Signal line filtering in commercial electronics
• EMI suppression for high-speed digital interfaces

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix TA0G to confirm the tape and reel packaging format and quantity. Ensure the design-in process accounts for the 100mA current rating and 6.3V voltage limit. Confirm RoHS compliance status via the official datasheet before finalizing procurement specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 4-channel solution is required in a 0603 footprint. The 22pF capacitance and 420MHz cutoff frequency suit high-speed data lines. Compare against the MEA1608LE series if lower current or different capacitance values are needed. Verify thermal performance under continuous load conditions.

Part Context

This part belongs to the TDK MEA series of multilayer ceramic filters. These components are designed to replace discrete LC networks, saving board space. The MEA series is widely used in portable electronics where size and performance are critical constraints.

Replacement Considerations

The MEA1608LE360TA0G is a related 4-channel variant but differs in capacitance (36pF) and current rating (50mA). Direct substitution requires verifying that the electrical parameters match the circuit requirements.
