ZCAT1325-0530A

Overview

The TDK ZCAT1325-0530A is a split-core ferrite clamp filter designed for suppressing electromagnetic interference on cables. It features an internal diameter of 5mm, accommodating cable diameters between 3mm and 5mm. The component exhibits an impedance of 50Ω at 100MHz. Its physical dimensions are 12.8mm in external diameter and 25mm in external length. The unit operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Integrated plastic housing allows for one-touch attachment to existing interface and power cables without disconnection.
• Split-core design enables installation on terminated cables, facilitating retrofits and maintenance tasks.
• Ferrite material provides effective high-frequency noise suppression for signal integrity.

Applications

• Suppression of electromagnetic interference on USB cables
• Noise filtering on power supply lines
• Signal cable protection in electronic assemblies

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'BK' if black coloration is required, as standard listings may vary. Confirm that the 5mm inner diameter matches the target cable bundle size. Ensure compliance with RoHS and REACH standards if mandated by the end application. Cross-reference the exact part number with official TDK documentation to avoid confusion with similar ZCAT series variants.

Selection Notes

Select this model when retrofitting noise suppression onto cables with diameters up to 5mm. The 50Ω impedance at 100MHz suits general-purpose EMI reduction. Consider the split-core form factor only when the cable cannot be disconnected. Verify thermal requirements against the -40°C to +85°C operating range before deployment.

Part Context

This component belongs to the TDK ZCAT series of cable ferrites. These parts are engineered as clamp-on filters to simplify the integration of EMI suppression into existing wiring harnesses. The series offers various inner diameters and impedance characteristics to match different cable sizes and frequency profiles.

Replacement Considerations
