MZA3216S301A

Overview

The MZA3216S301A is a four-channel signal line ferrite bead array manufactured by TDK Corporation. It features a 1206 (3216 metric) surface-mount package with an eight-pad configuration. The component provides an impedance of 300 Ohms at 100 MHz and supports a maximum DC current of 200 mA. Its maximum DC resistance is rated at 400 mOhms, with a tolerance of 25%. The device operates within a temperature range of -55°C to 125°C.

Feature Summary

• Four independent signal line channels for multi-line noise suppression
• Compact 1206 surface-mount footprint for space-constrained designs
• Low DC resistance characteristic to minimize signal loss

Applications

• General signal line filtering in electronic circuits
• Noise suppression for high-speed data interfaces
• EMI reduction in compact consumer electronics

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'S301A' against official TDK documentation to confirm impedance and pinout specifications. Ensure the selected variant matches the required 300 Ohm impedance at 100 MHz and 200 mA current rating. Confirm RoHS compliance status through the manufacturer's latest datasheet before integration into production.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing circuits requiring simultaneous noise suppression for multiple signal lines within a limited board area. The 1206 package offers a balance between thermal performance and spatial efficiency. Consider the 400 mOhm DC resistance impact on signal integrity and the 200 mA current limit relative to the operating conditions of the target application.
