ZCAT2017-0930PT-BK

Overview

The TDK ZCAT2017-0930PT-BK is a split-core ferrite clamp designed for electromagnetic interference suppression on cables. It features a hinged plastic housing for easy installation without disconnecting wires. The component has an inner diameter of 9mm, accommodating circular cables up to this maximum size. Its physical length is 21mm. The impedance characteristic is specified as 50Ω within the frequency range of 100MHz to 500MHz. The operating temperature range extends from -40°C to 85°C.

Feature Summary

• Split-core design allows installation around existing cables without disconnection
• Hinged plastic case ensures secure closure and convenient handling
• Optimized for suppressing common-mode noise on round cables

Applications

• Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) improvement in electronic assemblies
• Noise suppression on signal and power cables in industrial equipment
• EMI mitigation in consumer electronics wiring harnesses

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact suffix against official TDK documentation, as variations like BK or PT may indicate specific packaging or material differences. Confirm current product status, as some listings indicate obsolescence. Ensure the 9mm inner diameter matches the target cable bundle size. Check RoHS compliance requirements if applicable to your manufacturing standards. Cross-reference with authorized distributors for accurate availability and lead times.

Selection Notes

Select this component when non-invasive installation is required for cable noise reduction. The 9mm inner diameter limits suitability to smaller cable bundles. Verify that the 50Ω impedance at high frequencies meets the specific EMI spectrum requirements of the application. Consider the operating temperature range for environmental exposure. Compare with solid core alternatives if higher performance is needed and installation constraints allow.

Part Context

This part belongs to the TDK ZCAT series of cable ferrites, which are widely used for EMI suppression. The ZCAT series typically offers split-core designs for retrofitting and easy assembly. These components complement other EMC solutions by providing targeted noise attenuation on specific cable runs without altering circuit topology.
