ZCAT1325-0530E

Overview

The TDK ZCAT1325-0530E is a hinged ferrite clamp-on core designed for electromagnetic interference suppression on cables. It belongs to the ZCAT series and features an internal diameter of 5 mm with an external diameter of 12.8 mm and an external length of 25 mm. The component operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. It utilizes a unique plastic case with a self-holding mechanism to prevent slippage during installation.

Feature Summary

• Hinged design allows for convenient installation around existing cables without disconnection
• Self-holding mechanism prevents slippage on cables after closure
• Ferrite material provides effective high-frequency noise attenuation

Applications

• Suppression of electromagnetic interference on USB cables
• Noise filtering on data processing equipment wiring
• EMI mitigation in consumer electronic device cabling

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific impedance value at 100 MHz, as sources indicate conflicting data between 50 ohms and 100 ohms for similar model variants. Confirm availability status, as some listings identify this part as obsolete. Ensure the selected variant matches the required cable diameter tolerance of 3mm to 5mm for proper fitment.

Selection Notes

Select this component when retrofitting EMI suppression onto existing cable assemblies where cutting wires is not feasible. The 5mm inner diameter accommodates cables up to that thickness. Consider the operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C for environmental compatibility. Verify if the black color coding (BK suffix) is required for identification purposes.

Part Context

This component is part of the TDK ZCAT series of clamp-on ferrite cores. These cores are engineered for easy installation on various cable types to reduce conducted emissions. The ZCAT1325 designation indicates specific physical dimensions and material properties optimized for common signal and power lines in electronic systems.

Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Users should consult official TDK catalogs or distributors for equivalent hinged ferrite cores with matching impedance and dimensional specifications.
