PMC1206-151

Overview

The PMC1206-151 is a single-line ferrite bead manufactured by Bourns Inc. in the PMC series, designed for surface mount applications. It provides an impedance of 150 Ohms at a frequency of 100 MHz. The component features a maximum DC resistance (DCR) of 500 milliohms and supports a rated current of 400 mA. Housed in a standard 1206 (3216 Metric) package, it serves as a compact solution for electromagnetic interference suppression in electronic circuits.

Feature Summary

• Designed for single-line EMI suppression to reduce noise in signal paths
• Provides high impedance characteristics at specific frequencies to attenuate unwanted signals
• Utilizes a surface mount 1206 package for automated assembly compatibility

Applications

• Electromagnetic interference filtering in consumer electronics
• Noise suppression on data lines in portable devices
• Signal integrity enhancement in general-purpose circuit boards

Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturing date code against the discontinuation notice dated October 1, 2008, as this part may be obsolete. Confirm that the RoHS status aligns with project requirements, noting potential non-compliance. Ensure the supplier provides valid traceability documentation for the Bourns Inc. origin before finalizing any acquisition or integration steps.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 150 Ohm impedance at 100 MHz is required within a 1206 footprint. Ensure the circuit current does not exceed the 400 mA rating to prevent thermal issues. Consider the 500 milliohm DCR limit for voltage drop calculations in low-voltage power distribution lines where this ferrite bead is utilized for noise control.

Part Context

This ferrite bead belongs to the PMC series from Bourns Inc., which focuses on passive components for signal conditioning. The 1206 package size offers a balance between physical space constraints and electrical performance. This specific model addresses common noise issues in modern electronics requiring compact, reliable EMI mitigation solutions without significant signal degradation.

Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided source material. Verify compatibility with alternative ferrite beads based on impedance curves and current ratings if sourcing this discontinued item proves difficult.
