ZCAT1730-0730A-BKJ

Overview

The TDK ZCAT1730-0730A-BKJ is a round, hinged ferrite clamp-on core from the ZCAT series. It features an internal diameter of 7 mm and external dimensions of 16.5 mm by 23 mm. Constructed from TDK's 30 material, it provides an impedance of 80 ohms at 100 MHz. The component operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C and complies with RoHS standards.

Feature Summary

• Hinged design allows for installation on existing cables without disconnection
• Round geometry accommodates various cable shapes
• Utilizes high-permeability ferrite material for effective noise suppression

Applications

• USB cable noise suppression
• General-purpose EMI filtering for data lines
• Suppression of common-mode interference in electronic assemblies

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix designation (BK vs BKJ) against current manufacturer catalogs, as availability may vary between distributors. Confirm that the hinged mechanism functions correctly upon receipt. Ensure compliance requirements match project specifications, particularly regarding RoHS status.

Selection Notes

Select this component when retrofitting ferrite suppression onto cables where space constraints prevent through-hole cores. The 7 mm aperture suits standard USB and communication cables. Consider the 80 ohm impedance profile at 100 MHz for typical digital signal frequencies.

Part Context

This part belongs to TDK's ZCAT family of clamp-on ferrites. These components are designed for post-production modification of cables. The ZCAT series offers various materials and sizes to target different frequency ranges and cable diameters.

Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Verify compatibility with direct equivalents based on identical impedance curves and physical dimensions.
