PMC1206-152

Overview

The PMC1206-152 is a single-line ferrite bead from the Bourns PMC1206 series, designed for surface mount applications. It features a 1206 (3216 Metric) package with dimensions of 3.2 mm length, 1.6 mm width, and 0.6 mm height. The component provides an impedance of 1.5 kOhms at 50 MHz and has a maximum DC resistance of 1 Ohm. It supports a maximum current rating of 100 mA and operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +125°C.

Feature Summary

• Provides high impedance filtering at 50 MHz to suppress electromagnetic interference in signal lines.
• Utilizes a compact 1206 surface mount footprint suitable for space-constrained PCB layouts.
• Engineered for general-purpose noise suppression in low-current electronic circuits.

Applications

• Signal line noise suppression
• Electromagnetic interference filtering
• General-purpose circuit protection

Procurement Notes

Verify RoHS compliance status carefully, as sources indicate non-compliant variants exist alongside lead-free options. Confirm the specific ordering suffix matches the required environmental standard. Ensure the selected part number corresponds to the single-line configuration and 1206 package size required for the design.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 1.5 kOhm impedance at 50 MHz is required for noise attenuation. The 100 mA current rating limits suitability to low-power signal paths rather than power delivery lines. Consider the 1 Ohm DCR impact on signal integrity if voltage drop is a critical constraint in the application design.

Part Context

This ferrite bead belongs to the PMC1206 family, which offers various impedance values within the same 1206 SMD form factor. It serves as a passive component for EMI/RFI suppression, complementing other Bourns inductive components like the SRR series inductors and CR thick film resistors in comprehensive circuit designs.

Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Verify compatibility with alternative ferrite beads based on matching impedance curves, current ratings, and package dimensions before substitution.
