MZA3216R601A

Overview

The MZA3216R601A is a surface-mount ferrite bead array manufactured by TDK Corporation. It features an 8-pad configuration within a 1206 (3216 metric) package. The component provides a nominal impedance of 600 Ohms at 100 MHz. It supports a maximum DC current rating of 200 mA and exhibits a maximum DC resistance of 450 milliohms. The device is designed for signal line filtering applications.

Feature Summary

• Integrated four-channel signal line filtering architecture
• Compact surface-mount footprint for space-constrained designs
• Low DC resistance to minimize signal attenuation

Applications

• High-speed digital signal line noise suppression
• EMI suppression in portable electronic devices
• Data bus protection in consumer electronics

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix and packaging format with the manufacturer or authorized distributor before ordering. Confirm that the 1206 package dimensions and pinout match the target PCB layout requirements. Ensure the 200 mA current rating meets the operational demands of the specific circuit application to prevent performance degradation.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a multi-line ferrite solution is required in a minimal footprint. The 600 Ohm impedance at 100 MHz targets common high-frequency noise profiles. Evaluate the 450 milliohm DC resistance against signal integrity requirements. Consider the 200 mA current limit relative to the maximum operating current of the protected lines.

Part Context

This part belongs to TDK's MZA series of chip beads, specifically designed as SMD arrays for general signal lines. The series offers integrated filtering for multiple channels, reducing board space compared to discrete components. The MZA3216 variant utilizes the standard 1206 case size, balancing performance with manufacturing compatibility.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official TDK documentation for verified substitute part numbers. Cross-reference impedance curves and current ratings carefully. Ensure any replacement maintains the 8-pad array configuration and 1206 footprint to fit existing footprints without redesign.
