MEA2010LD120

Overview

The MEA2010LD120 is a surface-mount LC EMI filter array manufactured by TDK Corporation. It features four channels with a capacitance of 12 pF per channel and a cutoff frequency of 430 MHz. Designed for the 0804 (2010 metric) package, it supports a maximum current of 100 mA and operates down to -40°C. This component functions as a third-order low-pass filter for suppressing electromagnetic interference in high-speed data lines.

Feature Summary

• Four-channel LC filter architecture for multi-line signal integrity
• Compact 0804 surface-mount footprint for dense PCB layouts
• Third-order low-pass filtering characteristics

Applications

• Data lines for mobile devices
• High-speed digital signal protection
• EMI suppression in compact consumer electronics

Procurement Notes

Verify part status carefully as TDK has announced discontinuation for the broader MEA2010/MEA2012 series. Confirm availability through authorized distributors or secondary markets. Ensure the specific suffix matches design requirements. Check for end-of-life notices before finalizing procurement plans to avoid supply chain disruptions.

Selection Notes

Select this component when space-constrained designs require multi-channel EMI filtering. The 12 pF capacitance and 430 MHz cutoff are suitable for specific high-frequency data line applications. Consider the 100 mA current rating and -40°C minimum operating temperature during thermal and electrical analysis.

Part Context

This component belongs to the MEA2010 series of EMI filters from TDK Corporation. These arrays are designed to replace discrete components, saving board space. The series focuses on protecting sensitive data lines in portable and mobile equipment where size and performance are critical constraints.

Replacement Considerations

TDK has discontinued production of the MEA2010 and MEA2012 series. Designers must identify alternative suppliers or updated component families that offer similar 4-channel LC filtering in an 0804 package with comparable electrical specifications.
