MEA3216L50R0

Overview

The MEA3216L50R0 is a surface-mount EMI filter array manufactured by TDK Corporation. It features a monolithic multilayer L-type circuit design with four channels and a cutoff frequency of 50 MHz. The component operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C and supports a maximum current rating of 100 mA. It utilizes a 1206 (3216 metric) package with dimensions of 3.2 mm in length, 1.6 mm in width, and 0.85 mm in height. The device is RoHS compliant and supplied in tape and reel packaging for automated assembly.

Feature Summary

• Features an entirely monolithic structure that minimizes crosstalk effects between channels.
• Utilizes a unique 4-line multilayer L-type 3-terminal filter array configuration.
• Designed for tape packaging compatibility with automatic assembly equipment.

Applications

• RGB and signal lines of data terminals
• Computing and communications devices
• Color liquid crystal displays
• Printers and electronic games
• Portable audio-visual equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturing status of this part number before procurement planning, as it is listed as obsolete and no longer manufactured by the supplier. Confirm availability of equivalent substitute components from authorized distributors or alternative manufacturers to ensure supply chain continuity for existing designs requiring this specific filter specification.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring compact, low-profile EMI suppression on general signal lines where space constraints are critical. The 1206 footprint and 0.85 mm height make it suitable for dense PCB layouts. Ensure the operating environment remains within the specified -40°C to +85°C range and that signal currents do not exceed the 100 mA rating to maintain performance integrity.

Part Context

This component belongs to the TDK MEA series of 3-terminal SMD arrays designed for general signal line filtering. The series offers various cutoff frequencies and channel configurations in standard surface-mount packages. These filters are engineered to suppress electromagnetic interference in high-speed digital circuits while maintaining signal integrity through their specialized L-type circuit topology.

Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. As the MEA3216L50R0 is marked obsolete, engineers must identify equivalents based on matching electrical parameters such as 50 MHz cutoff frequency, 4-channel L-type configuration, and 1206 package dimensions from other manufacturers.
