ZCAT08V-BK

Overview

The ZCAT08V-BK is a hinged ferrite core clamp filter designed for automotive electromagnetic noise countermeasures. It features an impedance of 120 Ohms at 100 MHz, with a unit length of 33 mm and an exterior diameter of 18 mm. The internal cable diameter accommodates up to 8.00 mm (0.315 inches). Rated under AEC-Q200, it utilizes a vertically split cylindrical ferrite core integrated into a resin case for secure mounting on cables connecting electronic control units.

Feature Summary

• Hinged snap-on design enables installation on existing cables without disconnection
• AEC-Q200 rated for automotive reliability standards
• Resin case enhances heat resistance and shock resistance
• Effective common-mode noise suppression without influencing signal quality

Applications

• Antilock braking systems (ABS)
• Electric power steering
• Onboard electronic control unit cabling

Procurement Notes

Verify current availability status as the component may be listed as obsolete or discontinued in certain distributor catalogs. Confirm interchangeability if substituting with recommended alternate part numbers, as direct interchangeability is not guaranteed by the manufacturer. Ensure the selected alternative meets the same AEC-Q200 rating and impedance specifications for valid replacement.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring noise mitigation on pre-installed automotive wiring harnesses. The split-core design allows retrofitting without breaking circuit continuity. Verify that the target cable diameter fits within the 8.00 mm inner diameter specification. Ensure the operating environment supports the thermal characteristics of the integrated resin case.

Part Context

This ferrite clamp belongs to TDK's automotive-grade EMI suppression series. It addresses electromagnetic interference affecting critical vehicle safety systems. The product integrates magnetic material with structural housing to provide durable protection against high-frequency noise in demanding automotive environments.

Replacement Considerations

Recommended alternate part number: ZCAT08V-BK. Note that interchangeability is not guaranteed. Verify technical compatibility before substitution.
