Z0603C560CSMST

Overview

The KEMET Z0603C560CSMST is a surface-mount ferrite chip bead from the Z-SMS series, designed for signal line EMI suppression. It features a 56-ohm impedance at 100 MHz with a maximum DC current rating of 400 mA and a maximum DC resistance of 300 milliohms. The component operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +125°C and utilizes a 0603 (1608 metric) package size.

Feature Summary

• Provides effective electromagnetic interference suppression for high-speed signal lines
• Compact surface-mount design suitable for space-constrained PCB layouts
• Stable performance across a wide industrial temperature range

Applications

• High-speed data interface noise filtering
• Clock signal line protection
• USB and HDMI port EMI suppression

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet revision and lead times directly with KEMET or authorized distributors, as availability may vary. Confirm that the 0603 package dimensions and termination compatibility match your PCB footprint requirements before finalizing procurement decisions.

Selection Notes

Select this component when signal integrity requires low insertion loss combined with moderate attenuation in the GHz range. Ensure the 400 mA current rating exceeds the peak signal current to prevent saturation. The 0603 form factor offers a balance between suppression capability and board real estate efficiency.

Part Context

This part belongs to KEMET's Z-SMS series of general-purpose ferrite beads. These components are engineered for broadband noise absorption rather than resonant filtering. The Z0603C560CSMST specifically targets applications requiring reliable EMI reduction in compact digital circuits without introducing significant signal distortion.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other 0603 ferrite beads offering 56 ohms impedance and similar current ratings. Verify that alternative parts maintain comparable DC resistance and thermal characteristics to ensure circuit performance parity.
