WBS2.5-5/4.8/10-3S4-Z

Overview

The Ferroxcube WBS2.5-5/4.8/10-3S4-Z is a tubular soft ferrite core designed for cable suppression applications. It utilizes the 3S4 magnetic material composition, which provides high permeability and effective attenuation of electromagnetic interference in the lower frequency range. The component features a cylindrical geometry with an outer diameter of 5 mm, an inner diameter of 4.8 mm, and a length of 10 mm. This specific part number includes a Z suffix, indicating the presence of a longitudinal slot or split design to facilitate installation over existing cables without disconnection.

Feature Summary

• Tubular geometry engineered for direct sliding onto insulated wires
• Split construction allows for retrofitting onto terminated cables
• Optimized magnetic material for broadband noise suppression

Applications

• Suppression of common-mode noise on data communication lines
• EMI filtering for power supply input cables
• Noise reduction in automotive wiring harnesses

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact impedance characteristics at target frequencies against the official Ferroxcube datasheet for the 3S4 material grade. Confirm that the internal diameter accommodates the specific wire gauge and insulation thickness of the application. Ensure the split design does not compromise the mechanical integrity required for the mounting environment.

Selection Notes

Select this component when retrofitting suppression capabilities onto existing cable assemblies is required. The 3S4 material is suitable for applications where low-frequency noise attenuation is prioritized over high-frequency performance. Compare the physical dimensions against available clearance in the final assembly to ensure proper fitment.

Part Context

This component belongs to the WBS (Windband Choke) series from Ferroxcube, which specializes in tubular ferrite cores for cable management and interference suppression. The series offers various material grades and dimensional configurations to address diverse EMI challenges across industrial, consumer, and automotive sectors.

Replacement Considerations

Consult the manufacturer's cross-reference guide for equivalent tubular cores with matching inner diameter and material properties. Verify that any substitute maintains the same split design and impedance profile to ensure consistent noise suppression performance.
