Procurement Notes

This component has reached End-of-Life status and is scheduled for discontinuance by KEMET. Procurement should be avoided for new designs. Existing inventory may be limited or unavailable through primary channels. Verify final availability with authorized distributors before considering last-time buys. Designers must initiate immediate replacement strategies to ensure long-term supply chain stability.

Selection Notes

Engineers should prioritize alternative ferrite beads with comparable impedance characteristics and current ratings that remain in active production. Evaluate successor components for identical package dimensions to maintain PCB layout compatibility. Ensure selected replacements meet the required thermal performance and DC resistance specifications for the target application environment.

Part Context
