ZCAT2017-0930-M

Overview

The TDK ZCAT2017-0930-M is a hinged, snap-on ferrite core designed for common-mode noise suppression on cables with a maximum diameter of 9mm. It features an inner diameter of 9mm and an outer diameter of 20mm, with a length of 21mm. The component operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. Its impedance is specified as 50Ω at frequencies between 100MHz and 500MHz. The unit utilizes a chassis mount installation method and is constructed from gray material.

Feature Summary

• Hinged snap-on design allows for easy installation around existing cables without disconnection
• Provides effective common-mode noise suppression for round cables up to 9mm in diameter
• Chassis mount configuration ensures secure positioning during operation

Applications

• Consumer electronics cable noise reduction
• Industrial equipment signal integrity enhancement
• Data communication line filtering

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact suffix designation when ordering, as variations such as ZCAT2017-0930B may exist with different packaging quantities or minor physical attributes. Confirm that the required impedance profile matches the 50Ω specification at 100MHz-500MHz for your specific EMI mitigation needs. Ensure the cable diameter does not exceed the 9mm maximum inner diameter limit to guarantee proper closure of the hinge mechanism.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a non-invasive solution for adding ferrite attenuation to existing wiring harnesses is required. The hinged form factor distinguishes it from split-core or solid ring types, offering convenience for retrofits. Consider the operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C to ensure compatibility with the environmental conditions of the target application site.

Part Context

This part belongs to the TDK ZCAT series of clamp filters, which are engineered for electromagnetic interference suppression. These components are widely utilized in scenarios requiring rapid deployment of noise control measures on power or data lines. The ZCAT series emphasizes ease of use through its snap-on architecture while maintaining reliable performance across standard industrial and commercial frequency bands.

Replacement Considerations

Public records indicate the variant ZCAT2017-0930-M-SWA is obsolete with no recommended alternate part number listed. Verify if the base model ZCAT2017-0930 or the B-series variant meets all dimensional and electrical requirements before substitution.
