ZCAT1518-0730-BK

Overview

The TDK ZCAT1518-0730-BK is a split-core ferrite clamp designed for EMI suppression on cables. It features a round ferrite core housed in a black plastic case with a self-holding mechanism. The component has an inner diameter of 7.1 mm, an outer diameter of 15 mm, and an external length of 18 mm. Internal height is 8 mm. Impedance values are 25 ohms at 25 MHz, 25 ohms at 50 MHz, 50 ohms at 100 MHz, 50 ohms at 300 MHz, and 50 ohms at 500 MHz. Operating temperature range is -40°C to +85°C. Material is Ferrite 30.

Feature Summary

• Integrated plastic housing with self-holding mechanism prevents slippage
• Round ferrite core design for uniform magnetic field distribution
• Split-core construction allows installation without disconnecting cables

Applications

• EMI suppression in cable assemblies
• Signal integrity improvement in high-speed data transmission systems
• Noise filtering for automotive electronic components

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact part number suffix BK against official TDK documentation to confirm color and packaging specifications. Ensure compatibility with cable diameters up to 7.1 mm. Check RoHS and REACH compliance status as per current datasheet revisions before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this model when retrofitting existing cable assemblies where disconnection is not feasible. The 7.1 mm aperture accommodates standard power and signal cables. Consider impedance requirements across the frequency spectrum from 25 MHz to 500 MHz for effective noise attenuation.

Part Context

This component belongs to the TDK ZCAT series of clamp-on ferrite cores. These parts are engineered for post-production EMI mitigation. The ZCAT series utilizes specific ferrite materials optimized for broadband noise suppression in compact form factors suitable for space-constrained applications.
