WBC2.5/R-3S4

Overview

The Ferroxcube WBC2.5/R-3S4 is a ferrite radial RF choke designed for electromagnetic interference suppression. It exhibits an impedance of 600 Ohms at a frequency of 50 MHz. The component utilizes a ferrite core material to provide effective filtering characteristics in electronic circuits.

Feature Summary

• Provides radio frequency interference suppression through high impedance characteristics
• Utilizes ferrite core technology for signal and power cable filtering
• Designed as a wideband choke for EMI suppression applications

Applications

• Power supply filtering
• Battery charger circuit protection
• Portable device signal integrity maintenance
• Energy-efficient system noise reduction

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix designation, such as -Z or -L30, against official datasheets to confirm exact electrical parameters and physical dimensions. Ensure compatibility with existing board layouts and thermal requirements before integration into final designs.

Selection Notes

Select this component when radial mounting is required for space-constrained PCBs. Compare impedance curves across different ferrite materials if operation extends beyond standard frequencies. Validate current carrying capacity against circuit load specifications to prevent saturation.

Part Context

This part belongs to the WBC series of wideband chokes manufactured by Ferroxcube. These components are engineered for suppressing radio frequency interference in both signal and power supply cables. The series offers various impedance values and package configurations to suit diverse electronic design needs.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with WBC2.5/A-3S4-Z for axial alternatives. Verify that substitute parts maintain equivalent impedance profiles and physical footprint constraints to ensure seamless integration without redesigning the printed circuit board assembly.
