ZCAT1325-0530A-BK

Overview

The TDK ZCAT1325-0530A-BK is a split-core ferrite clamp filter designed for suppressing electromagnetic interference on cables. It features a round shape with an internal diameter of 5.1 mm and an external diameter of 12.8 mm. The component has an internal length of 20 mm and an external length of 20 mm, with an internal height of 5 mm and an external height of 12.8 mm. It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C and offers an impedance of 50Ω at 100 MHz.

Feature Summary

• Snap-on hinged design allows for easy installation onto existing interface and power cables without disconnecting them.
• Constructed from ferrite material housed in a plastic case to provide effective high-frequency noise suppression.
• Compatible with cable diameters ranging from 3 mm to 5 mm, ensuring secure fitment for various USB and data lines.

Applications

• Suppression of common mode noise on USB cables
• EMI reduction on interface cables in electronic devices
• Noise filtering on power cables in compact equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix BK indicates the black color variant as documented by distributors. Confirm the internal diameter matches the target cable size of approximately 5 mm before integration. Ensure the operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C meets the environmental requirements of the final assembly. Check RoHS compliance status if required by regional regulations.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a non-invasive solution for adding ferrite suppression to existing cabling is required. The snap-on mechanism eliminates the need to dismantle connections, saving assembly time. Choose this part for applications involving cables with diameters between 3 mm and 5 mm where space constraints prevent the use of larger clamps or through-hole cores.

Part Context

This component belongs to the TDK ZCAT series of clamp-on ferrite cores. These parts are engineered specifically for retrofitting noise suppression onto finished cables. The series provides a standardized solution for EMC compliance in consumer electronics and industrial interfaces without requiring custom winding or permanent attachment methods.

Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Verify compatibility with alternative TDK ZCAT models based on identical impedance curves and physical dimensions before substitution.
