ZCAT1325-0530A-VT

Overview

The TDK ZCAT1325-0530A-VT is a round ferrite clamp-on core designed for cable EMI suppression. It features an internal diameter of 5.1 mm and an external diameter of 12.8 mm, with an overall length of 20 mm. The component provides an impedance of 50 Ω at 100 MHz and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. Constructed from nickel-zinc ferrite material, it includes a protective case for easy installation on cables ranging from 3 mm to 5 mm in diameter.

Feature Summary

• Clamp-on design allows for non-invasive installation on existing cables without circuit interruption
• Nickel-zinc ferrite composition ensures effective high-frequency noise attenuation
• Integrated casing protects the core and facilitates secure attachment to wires

Applications

• Suppression of electromagnetic interference on USB cables
• Noise filtering for data transmission lines
• EMI mitigation in consumer electronic device wiring

Procurement Notes

Verify that the suffix VT corresponds to the specific packaging or tape-and-reel configuration required for your assembly process. Confirm the internal diameter matches the target cable size to ensure proper fit. Cross-reference the manufacturer datasheet to validate electrical characteristics against system requirements before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a snap-fit ferrite solution is needed for small-diameter cables up to 5.1 mm. The 50 Ω impedance at 100 MHz makes it suitable for general-purpose digital signal line filtering. Ensure the operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C aligns with the environmental conditions of the application.

Part Context

This part belongs to the ZCAT series of clamp-on ferrite cores manufactured by TDK Electronics. These components are engineered for rapid deployment on various cable types to suppress common-mode noise. The ZCAT1325-0530A variant specifically targets smaller gauge wires, offering a compact form factor compared to larger industrial-grade clamps.
