ZCAT2132-1130-BK

Overview

The TDK ZCAT2132-1130-BK is a round, hinged ferrite clamp-on core designed for cable noise suppression. It features an internal diameter of 11 mm and external dimensions of 20.5 mm width by 36 mm height. The component utilizes TDK's Material 30 ferrite formulation, providing an impedance of 40 Ω at 25 MHz and 50 MHz, rising to 80 Ω from 100 MHz through 500 MHz. It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C and complies with RoHS and REACH standards.

Feature Summary

• Hinged design allows installation on existing cables without disconnection
• Round geometry accommodates circular cable profiles
• Material 30 composition provides high impedance in the 100–500 MHz frequency range

Applications

• Suppression of electromagnetic interference on data and power cables
• Compliance enhancement for electronic equipment emissions
• Noise filtering in automotive wiring harnesses

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix (e.g., BK) matches the required color or material variant if critical. Confirm that the 11 mm inner diameter fits the target cable bundle securely. Check for updated compliance certifications such as RoHS and REACH status directly from the manufacturer's current documentation before finalizing procurement specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a non-destructive, reusable clamping solution is required for cables up to 11 mm in diameter. Ensure the application environment stays within the -40°C to +85°C operating range. Compare impedance requirements against other frequencies if noise exists outside the 100–500 MHz band, as impedance drops at lower frequencies.

Part Context

This part belongs to the TDK ZCAT series of clamp-on ferrite cores. These components are engineered for easy retrofitting onto cables to mitigate common-mode noise. The ZCAT series is widely used in industrial, automotive, and consumer electronics to improve electromagnetic compatibility without modifying the original cable assembly.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include ZCAT2132-1130. Verify dimensional compatibility and impedance curves match the original design requirements before swapping.
