PMC1206-300

Overview

The PMC1206-300 is a surface-mount ferrite bead from Bourns Inc., housed in a 1206 (3216 Metric) package. It measures 0.126 inches in length and 0.063 inches in width, with a maximum height of 0.043 inches (1.10mm). The component is classified as RoHS non-compliant. This specific part number is obsolete and no longer manufactured by the company.

Feature Summary

• Surface mount construction for automated assembly
• Ferrite material for high-frequency noise suppression
• Compact 1206 footprint design

Applications

• Power supply filtering
• Voltage regulation circuits
• Battery charger signal lines

Procurement Notes

This component is officially listed as obsolete and discontinued by the manufacturer. Procurement must focus on verifying available substitute parts or parametric equivalents rather than sourcing new original units. Buyers should confirm compatibility with replacement components to ensure circuit integrity without relying on unavailable legacy stock.

Selection Notes

Designers requiring this impedance profile must evaluate modern equivalent ferrite beads that meet current RoHS standards. Selection criteria should prioritize matching impedance characteristics and current ratings while ensuring compliance with environmental regulations. Verify that alternative components fit within the same physical constraints of the 1206 package size.

Part Context

The PMC series represents Bourns' line of ferrite beads designed for electromagnetic interference suppression. These components are typically utilized in electronic circuits to attenuate high-frequency noise on signal and power lines. The 1206 designation indicates the standard industry package dimensions used for surface-mount technology applications.

Replacement Considerations

Parametric equivalents such as the MU3261-300Y are identified as available substitutes for this obsolete part. Engineers should validate electrical performance and physical dimensions before integrating these alternatives into existing designs.
